What a great Tuesday Treasure story.<br /><br />One of my fondest memories is going to the fabric shop with my mum when I was little. The lady had a basket of loose buttons sitting on the counter and my sister and I would pick up a handful and let it run through our fingers. I loved it.<br /><br />Have a great week,<br />TracyOutback Craftaholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08933078252930402979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301139968887032738.post-57342501477955782192012-03-27T22:22:23.669+13:002012-03-27T22:22:23.669+13:00How wonderful finding the buttons & the tins t...How wonderful finding the buttons & the tins they are in are a treasure too.
