So wasteful really, we are so spoilt these days in comparison.gillyflowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02410673843788487544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1631411011450659203.post-3228605705251852382011-06-23T20:53:04.015+01:002011-06-23T20:53:04.015+01:00What lovely surprises in such unassuming container...What lovely surprises in such unassuming containers...the sewing box looks very familiar...great to have it handed on to you - must evoke some strong memories.<br />The leather buttons remind me of my dad and granddads cardigans!!<br />Ali xAlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04786735815963817880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1631411011450659203.post-50810050791949075712011-06-22T21:02:09.706+01:002011-06-22T21:02:09.706+01:00What a fabulous collection, and all the more speci...What a fabulous collection, and all the more special because of who it all belonged to.<br /><br />My gran was a seamstress and I spent many hours watching her at work :) <br /><br />I've seen those mystery buttons before - are they collar studs?

I think the little button things are cufflinks, but I am not certain. We are a 'consumer society' and very wasteful, I try to re-use and recycle as much as I can. I do think though, that clothes and underwear etc. were much better made in your grandma's day, even in my parents day than now, and worth darning or repairing. Thankyou so much for your lovely comments, and for taking part in my giveaway and using my button, much appreciated.
