<\/a><\/p>\nI got these jars with what was inside them for under ten dollars. There are so many spools of perle cotton in the one jar it more than paid for me to get them.\u00a0 The old clothespins will be used and I got the other jar because of the cute jar holder it sat in.<\/p>\n
I bought this fabric which I will use to make bears.<\/p>\n I got this just because it was red and I am doing a lot of Christmas sewing right now.<\/p>\n David has been collecting buttons for years. He as thousands of them.\u00a0 Jars full of them sit in my shop.\u00a0 He found three more to add to his collection.<\/p>\n I enjoyed sorting through them to see what was there.\u00a0 I needed eyes and button noses for my bears.\u00a0 Did you ever sort through buttons when you were a child?\u00a0 It was one of my favorite things to do. My mother had a button jar and I loved getting them out and sorting them.\u00a0 I wish I had that jar today.\u00a0 If you have children, give them a pile of buttons and some string and they will entertain themselves for a while.<\/p>\n I collect old books, mostly for children, and I found this very interesting one.\u00a0 Written in the early 1900’s\u00a0 what boys did then compared to what boys do now is astounding.<\/p>\n One chapter told boys how to build a log cabin from scratch.<\/p>\n Another showed how to make costumes for Halloween.<\/p>\n Or how to dress up like the “goblin man.”<\/p>\n There was a chapter on how to create your own circus.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
