National Button Day- November 16th

When I was little, my mother was a seamstress. She made beautiful clothing for her customers, and with the remnants, made myself and 2 older sisters, lovely garments.
She also had a large assortment of very interesting buttons. I think I still have some of them somewhere around here.
 
When I grew up there was always a "button box" as we called the round tin that my Mother saved buttons in. Yes, they got used for mending.

But I also remember playing with them, searching through and sorting by matching colors and sizes. I was probably 3 years old.
