I always thought they were commercial samples because they were all wired into their cardboard sheets the same way (and I loved the multicolor wire swirls on the backs as well), but I could be wrong. I love the way you interpreted them as a memory collection and combined them with your own buttons for a unique piece!Textile Rangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00547494144471550828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-236944057573310628.post-59246799767472284742020-08-05T22:33:18.133+01:002020-08-05T22:33:18.133+01:00I was really keen to make something lovely and use...I was really keen to make something lovely and useful Janine and I can tell you that I already enjoy having this memory keeper hanging on the back of my chair with all sorts of bits and pieces waiting to be used :) I shall enjoy even more having the opportunity to explain how it came to be to a grandchild or two!Celtic Thistlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07033484481693226138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-236944057573310628.post-47290794726993780062020-08-05T22:28:32.150+01:002020-08-05T22:28:32.150+01:00I know that feeling Carol, which is why I am espec...I know that feeling Carol, which is why I am especially pleased to have used these special buttons in such a way that I see them every time I walk into my sewing room :/Celtic Thistlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07033484481693226138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-236944057573310628.post-73247863357610322032020-08-05T17:27:58.389+01:002020-08-05T17:27:58.389+01:00Great piece and way to use buttons!

I can imagine you, years from now going through all sorts of item and memories (many of which are yet to happen) with your grandchildren and telling them of things that happened before they were born and when they were young and even about the Endeavourers and the buttons and inspiration coming from Gwen far across the sea in America :)Janine @ Rainbow Harehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00506960048874406422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-236944057573310628.post-87813796626448900352020-08-01T20:42:17.504+01:002020-08-01T20:42:17.504+01:00A button sheet is very organised isn't it Ruth...A button sheet is very organised isn't it Ruth?

Didn't every family have one back in the day? As I child, I would sort them for hours on end and ask my mother about the red velvet covered ones or the little butterscotch yellow ones. Where did they come from? What were they on, Mommy? I love how you took old memories and made new memories with them in collaboration with Gwen.
