Anyone else out there button crazy like me? When I found them I tried to act casual. I started poking them with my finger, looking through them which must have made the man selling think I wanted only a couple?? He broke it to me that they were sold by the jar full… Hmmmmm, well, ok, if you insist…..
I'll take both!
Sorting them is the hard part. Maybe they'll just have to sit on the shelf in their cute jars instead.
My other half likes to see what I make but he can't get excited like I can about fabric and ribbons and buttons...I apparently had a very lengthy conversation with him about buttons. At the end of which he said - "Well there's 10 minutes of my life I'll never get back". Now if either one of us starts going on and on about something we say "Shall we talk about buttons now?" ;-)
ReplyDeleteIf you go to Holzgerlingen, there's a fabric store called Esro Jersey. They have a box (more a large bucket) of buttons. 2 Euro per teacup. You can even pick them out one at a time if you prefer.
ReplyDeleteOh Corinnea, I do understand that very very well ... I once bought a whole box of stuff at a flea market, and I was in HEAVEN ... buttons, threads ... Have fun with your buttons!
ReplyDeleteOoh, Corinnea, we need to go to that shop in Holzgerlingen. Fun stuff! Enjoy your new treasure. ^_^
ReplyDeleteI have never met a jar of buttons that I could say no to.
ReplyDeleteI love sorting buttons out :)
ReplyDeleteButtons in weck jars, does it get any better??? How do you always find all this cool stuff, think I need to borrow your shopping fairy, just sayin'......
ReplyDeletebutton, button, who's gotten the button? CORINNEA!!!!! :) That first comment had me cracking up! Shall we talk about buttons now? HA! I won't tease you about your buttons if you don't tease me about .... shoes, magnets, kitchen gadgets, hair clips ....
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone for the support for an every growing button collection!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to check out that shop Karen.

Alexandra, I'll make coffee if you sort my buttons!
Sher, the weck jars are a size I haven't seen. Now I need to find lids.

ReplyDeleteThat's a whole lot of buttons woman! I think it will be something fun for you and Jessica to do together =)
ReplyDeleteGreat find.. I have a project that needs lots of buttons. I need to go shopping with you to find great treasure.
ReplyDeleteI know jon thinks he'll never get "that time back.." about a lot of things that come out of my mouth! I'm so happy you found something you LOVE!
ReplyDeleteI love old buttons too!
ReplyDeleteAnother button (and fabric!) addict here! Just found your blog and you made me laugh so hard with your first question. Oh, yes, I too have several jars full of magnificent old buttons witch I don't know yet how to use - but it doesn't really matter, does it?
