Woo Hooo! What a fantastic collection! Congratulations! They all look so beautiful on their little cards, I wouldn't even want to USE them!
Oh my! You lucky ducky!
Lucky day, indeed! I am so envious and need to poke around my parents' basement next time I'm home. Enjoy that treasure trove!
oooh, mom's buttons. nothing brings back memories faster than buttons.
i received the book in the mail. thank you, thank you, thank you! the boys love looking at the babies in the book and mama loves every pattern. hugs!
Oh, what a treasure! I adopted my mom's button collection a while ago, there was a huge box full of them when I was little.
Oooohh lucky you!! I especially love those pale aqua transparent ones in the first photo. And the packaging is so darling! Can't wait to see what you do with them.
What a treasure! My grandma had big 'ol tin filled with fabulous buttons. I SO wish I had that now!

what a wonderful blessing. enjoy! (we've lost my mother's button jars. these brought tears to my eyes with their beauty)
Wow! What a cool mom you have! I dream of finding a button treasure chest like that!
I think you've come across the find of the century, lucky you! Those buttons are just beautiful!

Lucky you is right. These images evoke such memories. There's something magical when they are still on the cards, some yellowed, some brown.
it's wonderful to read everyone's comments. buttons seem to hold dear memories for lots of people. this past week, i've been going through the buttons and have used a few of the extra special ones for my knitted accessories. it's a little hard for me to let them go.
