We spent endless hours sorting out the buttons into sizes and colours and then we used to use the buttons as money and play shops with them. Recently mum made me a hanging decoration to commemorate mine and Steve's engagement and she used a couple of buttons from my gran's button tin to decorate it. I had to hold back the sobs when I recognised the buttons and where they had come from!<br /><br />xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00753480993834004427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787053717148644728.post-69341603498789576392014-01-06T16:01:03.063+00:002014-01-06T16:01:03.063+00:00This is such a wonderful gift to receive and I was...This is such a wonderful gift to receive and I was lucky enough to inherit my Great Grandmothers tin last year which I cherish.

I have my Gran's old button box too, it's a family heirloom. I couldn't part with any other them and when I started my Crafternoon tea parties I had to go and buy one from a charity shop as my Gran's was too personal to give away. I'm glad I am not the only one with such a love.<br /><br />Samantha createitsamantha.blogspot.co.ukCrafternoon Teashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15103530900360013499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787053717148644728.post-31435890723058326312014-01-06T09:56:49.037+00:002014-01-06T09:56:49.037+00:00Button tins are the most wonderful thing, and it i...Button tins are the most wonderful thing, and it is wonderful when they get passed down!
