A few days ago I went to my hometown to see my parents ..
I asked for my mother to find her old buttons....
When she was young she made all her clothes..
and she makes many thinks yet like curtains, pillows and other things..
So she brought me an old glass vase with her old buttons.....
and she asked me why I need these and what I could use these old things ....
Anyway she don't likes old things ....
This is my treasure .....
since 1950 !!!
marriage ...(1958)
I will use all these because I used mine buttons to make
fours pillows ......
Have a nice day
How wonderful that you were able to get those old buttons from your mom. Your pillows are great and I know you will put all those buttons to good use, too. Have fun! Best wishes, Tammy

ΑπάντησηΔιαγραφήThis is so nostalgic and even more so since you know the story that goes with your Mother's old buttons. Precious for keeping and you are very creative for putting them to good use.
Love to you,

my mom is a dressmaker, though lately she hasn't been into because of old age..i could relate to this coz' she has a lot of these stuff in her room.
