Nov 3

30 Days of November - "Something that I collect" and Day 3 of My Personal 30 Days in Manual Mode Challenge!

I have to admit that I'm not much of a collector...
or rather the things that I collect are difficult to
photograph (bicycles and things that contain or resemble bicycles)
so I turned to my collection of buttons.
I've collected these over the last 30 years. Some have memories and others?
Probably buttons that I cut off my husband's shirts before I turned them into rags!

they are always handy to collect, there can always be a moment that you might use one!

Great collection! I posted my collection image thinking I didn't collect anything but everyone's posts are making me realize I do - buttons, recipes, books, photographs! Buttons always make for great images and this is no exception!

This reminds me of the button box my great-grandmother used to have. Great image for the challenge!

Some of those are really old buttons. I had my mother's buttons for many years, but finally gave them away to a local kindergarten.

I have those woven leather ones too!!...cannot remember what they came off, though I'm thinking a coat or jacket :). My Aunt was a tailoress and I inherited her button collection :)
