  Isn’t it interesting… the containers that have been used over the years to store buttons? My mom had a button jar. I have a button jar that previously held peanut butter. I also store buttons in tin containers.

  I think it is interesting. I may put up a post that says something like “button containers throughout the ages.”

  It has a certain ring to it, don’t you think?

  I found a perfect button container at a yard sale. It is an old mason jar. It has a glass lid with a metal handle that holds the lid on. I have it sitting in an old coca-cola crate box/shelf on the wall.

  That sounds pretty inventive, Karen. (or should I call you “Thrifty?”)

  Do you have a picture of the shelf to share? (Posted or otherwise?) I’d be happy to organize a guest post…

  Here’s my post. My buttons were only $1 :), my coca-cola box was $5 (bought many years ago), and my jar was $2. Cheers to being thrifty!

  I have some pics I could share of my soda boxes and bottles too.
