You can tell a lot about a woman by her buttons...

I recently hit the jackpot in a box my mom sent from my grandmothers house, her button collection. I love buttons, the colors the shapes the styles and all the random things you can do with a button. So what can I gather from her buttons?
1. She had more sequins than buttons. Enough said.
2. She was organized (or tried to be). On the buttons still attached to labels she noted what jacket or shirt the button belonged to. She was that way with her shoes, kept them in the box with a sticky note label. If I had as many shoes as she did I would have to do that too!
3. She had a ton of clothes! This is just half of one of the bags!
4. She was great at buying on sale. Some of the tags still had the prices on them and the best deal I saw was a $360 jacket for $92. Way to go Granny!

What about my button collection? Well it's very small but does contain many sequins. I keep them in the one and only Tiffany's box I have, puts a smile on my face every time I need a button :)
