Buttons. My collection of buttons never stops growing. Now, most of the clothes have duplicated buttons in case we lose one of them, the extra ones go to my collection. I always remove them before discarding any old shirts/dresses. Some of the buttons in my collection are precious to me. Others are pretty, and others are ordinary ones that I keep anyway.
I used my macro lens for this photo and I love it!

I kept buttons as a child… hadn’t thought about it in many years, but some of them were very pretty.

I’ve got a box full of buttons, too. Some are decades old, a time capsule… Your post inspired me to have a good look through my button collection and perhaps write a piece… ‘My life in ten buttons’…

My Mum used to cut all the buttons off old shirts and us kids would play for hours with her button box.
