Belle's Buttons
My father-in-law discovered this treasure trove of buttons recently while cleaning out the shed at his mother's place. Our Nanna Belle recently turned 98! Amazing!!! She is fighting fit but resides in elderly care now so her home is being sold. During the tidy up, this precious tin of buttons was gifted to me.
The tin is an old film case and it is chocablock full of interesting and beautiful buttons. It really is a treasure. There is SO much to see.
