Plum Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Love boxes of buttons. Does everyone still have a box full? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 One of my favourite things when I was a child was playing with my mother's button box. There were all sorts of things in there. I wish I knew where it went when the house was cleared, I'd love to have it now! Just popping in to say that I'm sorry not to be joining in the swap this year, I know that on Christmas Day I'll be really envious when I see all the gifts being opened. I just didn't feel I'd have time this year with other stuff going on. Good luck with your swap projects! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted November 4, 2017 Author Share Posted November 4, 2017 No problem Olly, sometimes there are just not enough hours in the day. Anyway, there's always next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Never mind Olly - stuff happens to us all. I loved my mum's button box. It was a dark blue/black box that originally contained large cogs that my dad used to work with - the empty box he brought home. I have my 21st birthday things in a half size box! But the best thing about the big box was so many colours and sort of mother of pearly buttons - and a huge green button which was one of my earliest memories of her while pushing my pram wearing a dark green coat with the buttons to match. It wasn't raining but the pram hood was up and so was the little flap at the front - it must have been a chilly wind. I even remember the road she was crossing - the last up and downy before we had a straight run to home. I wonder if she still has it? One section of the underneath cupboard upstairs has been rearranged and there was no button box. Other side will be done Monday. Off to Daventry tomorrow and carting a ton of boxes to DD's new house! Some from our garage - whoohoo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luvachicken Posted November 19, 2017 Author Share Posted November 19, 2017 Going to have to go back to my original plan as I didn't like what the post man brought me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Oh no! I'm sure it will be just as good with plan A. Try not to worry. All efforts by our Santas are much appreciated by us all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 So saying that - I'm happy with part A but not as thrilled with part B because I'm not used to playing with this medium. You do realise that there is someone on here who is really going to be my victim after all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
