  2. I like the office wall pockets and the spice rack for buttons and other notions. I also think the embroidery hoops with pockets are clever. Useful ideas, Brenda. Thanks.

  3. I love the boxes next to the fridge and the button organizer too. But I still love my grandmothers button box. It was a metal container with pansies painted on the top. It gave me hours of fun stringing button necklaces and bracelets. My grandmother would look at the buttons and would tell me about whose dress or shirt the button had belonged to and then the family stories would begin. I loved her stories and the buttons became special because of them.
