these are the ones I love, there are lots of the plain little white ones that everyone has... but these ones used to be Alberts grannies buttons.. an you just imagine how old some of them are?
some have been so worn that the ends are pretty tattered and the holes are just about all the way through touching each other.

so cool, I hate to even use them.. I just added them to my collection and will admire them, until I find the perfect project for them!

Lovely yarn, and great buttons! (I *love* buttons!)
I recognize some of those button styles (if not the colors) from my Grandmother's button box - a Dutch Master's cigar box that I have now. I haven't used many of the buttons because I love to sort through them too much to break up sets.
