Re: [lace-chat] Button Boxes

I don't have a box, but I do have a jarI must've started it when I first started sewing, probably about 45 years ago. A scratch through the contents brings back all sorts of memories as I recognise buttons from the childrens' clothes when they were tiny right through to more recent acquisition

Re: [lace-chat] Button Boxes
