I loaded up some pictures of Hubby's Grandma's button jars. They are blue tinted Ball Jars. There are all kinds of buttons in them. Some are pressed metal. Even more interesting is the things she used to keep sets together. Old safety pins and wires. I haven't even begun to look through them. Just think of the stories they could tell.
So many little treasures 
and here's some close up's. The ones on the right say 1925 and they are 'Bluebird Domestic Pearl' buttons. The ones on the left are 'Chic' buttons from 1933. These buttons were around during the depression, prohibition and WWII...
I snapped a picture of the saw too. Nobody seems to know how old it is but it's very old. His Grandparents owned a 98 acres dairy farm. Hubby hung it above his work bench in the garage.
Off to finish my wine...have a safe evening...

Glad you finally got to crack open that Merlot ;)
Did you watch Corpse Bride? It was kinds cute I thought.
I'm glad your hubby got to spend some time with his Dad, tough times...
Our 5 year old granddaughter, Faith, watched Corpse Bride over and over and over. It's one of Johnny's movies that I don't have to 'see' so I get things done and just listen to that marvelous voice :) while the kids are entertained. I can't wait to really sit down and go through all the goodies in the jars!
p.s. the Merlot was delicious ;)
