Blogger Friend School Assignment #15
Posted in Blogger Friend School
Here are the directions for this weeks assignment:
For this assignment I wanted to see who's got the funniest, craziest, saddest, most creative or just best story about the family button box, button can or button jar. I love buttons! Any kind, any color, any size but mostly the vintage ones. So, I thought it would be fun to tell stories about or show pictures of our button boxes, cans, or jars.
Well I don't really have a special story of my own to share so I thought that I would borrow my daughters button story. My mom has a button jar which looks just like the one in the graphic above. My daughter has always been fascinated by it. There are no two buttons in there that match. It is quite a colorful jar. Anytime we are at her home Kalene likes to look at the buttons in the jar. She has her favorites. Last summer Kalene and my mom had a talk about the button jar. After seeing how much the button jar means to Kalene she decided to bequeath it to her. So although I don't have a button jar I do believe Kalene will continue the tradition as she gets older.

How lovely! I wish I knew where all my Gran's buttons got to after she died - never saw them again!
God bless,

That's a beautiful story! I am so fascinated by all the different buttons in the world...and to think of where they might have come. Thank you for sharing.

We have no button jar. To my knowledge, we are lacking in button heritage altogether. I feel...buttonless. :') Loved your story!

What a great story! It's so interesting that most people have some kind of button story to share even if it isn't their own.
