BOXED

One thing that came up in the Gleaner's movie was the 'button box'.

My mother had one; so did John's.

When clothes got thrown out or recycled, the buttons came off and went into a box.

I think people also bought or collected buttons from other people's clothing.

My mother's buttons were actually kept in a metal container; one of those fruit-cake type.

I used to play with the buttons.

Yeh, I know. I didn't have all of them. Or someone learned how to push them.

Buttons.

Name me one person who has a button box today.

I would surely like to see that button box my Mom had.

Maybe one of my kids has it.
