Saw this and it made me laugh.

I’ve been lucky enough and honoured to have been gifted button collections from ladies who are sadly not with us anymore 🙁.

Picked up this bowl for free this morning and amalgamated all the buttons so that I can look and enjoy them. Thank you Lucy.

I love that they must have been part of a hundred of different stories throughout the years … 💕

More makes from my Friday night visitor …. think she might have the sewing bug like me 😊💕.

Happy Saturday folks … hope you get to do what you want to today 😁
