one of the reasons i know my husband loves me

counting buttons

even though he had a lot of work to do and was behind in grading and stuff, he spent an evening sitting on the porch with me sorting and counting these...

and i am sure some of you are thinking "sorting i get, but counting?" yes, we were counting. for reasons i will explain here soon...

(and thanks for all the kind words about my Selma totes! i hope to have my shop up and running next week!)

Yes. He loves you. In fact, I think we could say he loves you A LOT!!!!

This photo brings back such good memories of sorting through the button tins as I was growing up. My mother "inherited" button tins from her grandmothers and her own mother, so the quantity just grew and grew. She could keep me quiet for hours sorting buttons :D

I love that photo and how sweet that your hubby helped you to sort and count those. That IS love! :)

Make button flowers with your buttons! There are instructions on my web site www.jennyfillius.com
I collected aprons for awhile then thought I was crazy for doing so and gave them to Goodwill, what was I thinking?
