Since then I have been picking up sewing notions from Thrift Stores whenever I found an interesting bag, so I know what you mean. <br /><br />You, however, have a really interesting collection of buttons still on the cards! And I love looking at Way Out Wearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11806794241952158361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7500979.post-70036894994370753572011-03-03T02:37:48.330-06:002011-03-03T02:37:48.330-06:00What is it about buttons on the cards??

I especially love when they have one or two used, with the little strings left over - the other still waiting for a happy home. :) Nice collection!Michelle Clementhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15339393158297450797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7500979.post-6497179461597107422011-03-02T20:33:31.318-06:002011-03-02T20:33:31.318-06:00Just a quick note to let you know that a link to t...Just a quick note to let you know that a link to this post will be placed on <a href="http://www.craftcrave.net" rel="nofollow">CraftCrave</a> today [03 Mar 12:00am GMT].

I really love old buttons still on the card too, only sometimes I want to use the buttons, but find that I can't touch them - they are just too perfectly at home remaining on the card! xxMiss Snowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06294668662470679194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7500979.post-37600103414072894202011-03-02T17:14:19.354-06:002011-03-02T17:14:19.354-06:00These are so great Mollie!

People that make their own buttons, or those of us with vintage buttons could use them to put new (or new to us) finds on!Daphnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04708813420701082954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7500979.post-11740863577786786762011-03-02T17:09:05.920-06:002011-03-02T17:09:05.920-06:00I love them!

My niece collects buttons (5 years old) so my mom sent a letter to cappers magazine and she (niece) ended up getting buttons from all over the country. She received over half a mail tub worth so far :) Buttons are so simple and fun at any age. I love the idea of making them into art!momma bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08390953894739796484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7500979.post-53811830147910224622011-03-02T12:47:34.114-06:002011-03-02T12:47:34.114-06:00they are so wonderful!
