Button Box and Hat Stand

As I dive into the button-themed expansion, I was finding myself collecting jar after jar and those take up too much room. PK and I decided to go walk around some antique malls in downtown Indy on Sunday. One of them didn't have air conditioning and was in an old warehouse. It was easily over 100 in there! We kept looking any way and I came around a corner and saw this little wooden box hidden by lots of other items. I doubt that it is worth much, and I paid very very little, but I loved the colors. You guessed it. It is now the new home of all the rescued buttons!


Isn't it fun? Makes the crafting more fun, too.

And...I had completely given up on finding a wire or old-style wooden hat stand. We looked for YEARS. Then...tada...one that was FINALLY for purchase and CHEAP! Can't wait to take pictures of all the hats on this little guy.

Your 'box' looks like a purse somebody made in the 60's or early
70's! Been there done that when I was a kid! :)
