My husband makes fun of me for saving buttons when I no longer sew! Little does he know.... But what fun today's kids are missing out on! What will be their "button memories"?Monica Burnettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00917334067215303171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083940342074718657.post-76549674719573233202011-04-04T11:05:07.682-04:002011-04-04T11:05:07.682-04:00This painting has such lushness.

When my girls were babies, there were so many sweet little mother-of-pearl buttons. I can see that layer now across my room.<br /><br />Love your painting, the colors, and the reminder of a memory!<br /><br />Bises,<br />GGenie -- Paris and Beyondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12758801373365481655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083940342074718657.post-38636680137072146942011-04-04T09:28:41.094-04:002011-04-04T09:28:41.094-04:00Great little painting, Kelley . . . and great sto...Great little painting, Kelley . . . and great story with a walk down memory lane!

I also have many button jars of all shapes, sizes, and colors. And lastly, my grandmother was a terrific seamstress and had many jars of buttons that I was allowed to play with. Your painting brings back so many memories.

The older ladies were forever knitting grey or pink cardigans for themselves and their choice of buttons would be your deliciously shiny pearly pink ones in the foreground!Marie Theronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04873852756825147600noreply@blogger.com
