Yesterday I had to sew a button on my hubbies shirt. It was a pale green shirt with same shade of button. I went to my button tin to find one and for a few minutes was lost in the memories of all the buttons I had kept. There was the red toggle one from my daughters duffle coat when she was around 10, the wee ladybird one from a cardigan, a nice silver one from a blazer I had, a yellow flower from a dress of my daughter. I could go on and on. Why did I keep them though? It,s not as if I will ever use them. My mum had a button box but I must ask my daughters if they have one. Do any gransnet members have one?
