Family Home and Life: Mason Jar Monday, Buttons for Lisa

Kids love to play with buttons, they are pretty and fun to sort. I remember playing with my mother's button collection and my grandkids enjoy playing with my button collection. It?s a fun tradition that has been passed down without even a second thought.


I have a friend, Lisa, over at Grandma?s Briefs and she recently wrote a post about buttons. It seems that most grandmas have a button jar, box, tin, or whatever to hold some sort of a button collection. I am no exception here, I too have a jar of buttons collected over time and it contains some handed down from my mother.??

So?after I read Lisa?s post I decided to play with my button collection myself, looking for that magical fascination buttons seem to hold for little eyes. ?I poured my buttons out and pushed them together in a pile. I sorted through some colors and ones I thought extra pretty.

I made an L shape, for Lisa of course, then pushed them up close against the jar.

I noticed they were in a heart shape sort of so I manipulated them into a more formed heart shape.

I?was thinking about Lisa as I did this and thought about her love of her family and those cute grandsons of hers. ?I thought about how she loves on her friends and on her blog readers. If you know anything about Lisa you know she LOVES with a capital L! Yes Lisa is a wonderful person to have in your life. Hmmm another L word; ?Lisa?Love?Life.? Lisa lives life lovingly.

So here?s to you Lisa, my friend, my blogging buddy and confidante. This one, a Jar of Buttons,?is for you. ?Happy Monday!
