I have a huge jar of buttons. Clothing buttons. Buttons handed down to me from my mother and grandmother. Buttons handed down to them as well. Many of the button are very old. Each button tells a story...they bring back memories and give me a peek back in time about my ancestors' lives. So in the spirit of preserving the past and to honor those whose buttons have been passed down to me..I'm making some necklaces out of the buttons. It no coincidence then, that two of the gold buttons I used were engraved with the letter "c" ...more than likely belonging to my Grandmother Nora Caroline Keller. Thanks Grandma, for sharing your buttons. I think she'd approve of the new use for her hand-me-down buttons.
