just wondering where you put all those odd buttons  and   how many do you think you have?

No button box here.
Just one here and one or two there.
But my Mom had a button box that was
like opening up a treasure chest!
Beautiful buttons of all colors,shapes
and sizes!I don't know where they came from,
but it was fun for the three of us girls to
spread them all out on the living room floor
and distribute them and play with them for an
afternoon every once in a while!!
Thanks for the memories!

How about a button bag
All my extra buttons are in a bag in a small pretty box :)

Oh yes, I have a huge button box, I did alot of sewing when my girls were young (matching outfits) had alot of leftover buttons- then all the extra's! I can't even estimate how many I have- perhaps I possibly have around 300 or 400 buttons-- lol !

I bet nobody has that many ! he-he !

I have a sewing box, so it has things other than buttons in it.

Yes, I do. It isn't very big, but I bet I've got a hundred or more buttons in there.

i keep my loose buttons and sewing needles in a strawberry decorated tin. i keep all the extras that come with clothing and if i am tossing out something with buttons i will cut them off first. never no when you might need one. i keep the tin in my wardrobe closet.
i have about 20 in there right now.
