I think those are the words to the song anyway!! Chicago? I don't know.... it's late and I am tired! :)
My grandmother gave me the jar, in my inspiration picture, and the buttons. Of course, I add to the button stash as we get new clothes with extra buttons, etc. I haven't dug into this jar yet to see what kinds of buttons are in there. I just hate to use them. I think I have enough PTI and misc. buttons to last a while and maybe I won't have to. They are special to me because my grandmother gave them to me. I will have to use them on something that I will keep for myself.
Hope you have a great day! Thanks for stopping by and saying hello!!
Supplies:
Stamps - Handwritten Notes (PTI), Jar (Inkadinkado)
Paper - Spring Moss bitty box, Kraft, Rustic Cream (all PTI)
Ink - Dark Chocolate, True Black (both PTI)
Other - One of all available colors of PTI buttons, Rustic Jute Twine (PTI), SU Eyelet Border Punch, SU Dimensionals

I've been so busy haven't had a chance to check all my favorite blogs lately. Love the mason jar with buttons -- and all your button cards! I have a {smaller} mason jar with buttons in it, too. It's also a bluish glass with a lid like yours. The rubber seal is still there, but very brittle. I lose little pieces of it whenever I get in there. When my children were small I smocked and sewed some of their clothes so I have a lot of cute little buttons leftover from those days. I'm rather attached to them! My mom was a high school home ec teacher and sewed most of my clothes. I remember her having a cookie tin filled with buttons that I used to play with when I was really little -- sorting them into colors, shapes, etc. So, I guess my button fetish has been nurtured since childhood -- or maybe inherited! Whew -- I have too much to do to be so chatty. Sorry for the long rambling comment and thanks for being so faithful at leaving comments on my blog!
such a sweet inspiration piece because it is soo rich with memories :) Your card turned out fabulous!
OMG, this is soooo cute. What great inspiration. And yes, it was Chicago that sang that song, one of my favorites.
Girl, I just love all of your button cards. It's so darling! I really like the jar your grandmother gave you. It's really neat looking!
