She had a whole cupboard at the top of the stairs that was full of bags of fabric scraps. I used to spend ages rummaging through looking at all the lovely scraps of fabric and then having a go at making something with her help. How I would love the chance to go back now and look through that cupboard ! Your little button bags are very sweet , the pink and green ginghams ones are my favourites, they look so fresh and pretty.<br />Ann xAnniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10563432555240287691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2772532068403786265.post-28298576378685946722010-02-03T07:02:53.378+00:002010-02-03T07:02:53.378+00:00There is something totally irresistible about butt...There is something totally irresistible about buttons and I too remember a large collection of buttons belonging to my mother in a huge (or so it seemed) Huntley & Palmer biscuit tin. Every old button does tell a story and I can still remember sorting through the buttons which included leather cardigan buttons and beautiful dainty glass buttons with flowers encased in them. I wonder where they are today.<br /><br />Michele xCowboys and Custard Mercantilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13043221646753782790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2772532068403786265.post-65215747499608794862010-02-02T23:43:00.736+00:002010-02-02T23:43:00.736+00:00My Mum had a button bottle, which I still have and...My Mum had a button bottle, which I still have and I too have fond memories of tipping them all out and playing games with them.
