  2. I used to love sorting buttons in my mother’s button jar and had one similar which my children used to love. So useful to enable them to count or sort into colours or sizes. An education in a jar. None as beautiful as these, but all with a history of which garment they came from.

    1. oh now that’s just wonderful. I bet they have very fond memories of the jar. I suspect very few children got to play with these, as I came across them in a museum in Birmingham. It was there I discovered Birmingham was once the centre of button making!

    1. I am just loving how so many fellow squarers are remembering their mother’s or grandmother’s button box. Been a wonderful day for button memories 🙂

  10. I don’t sew but have a big cookie can full of buttons. I mean a big can … all sizes and colors. Not nearly as bright as your selection, but always comes in handy.

    1. Fascinating how much came out of England’s powerhouse really – think you are right kayaks were probably not one of the items though!
