WHAT A LOVELY POEM.....Gurl you continue to give me smiles....my grandmother left me her button box in the will....to me, that was worth more than any inheritance I could have been blessed with. As a young child, we would make little biscuits cut from the OJ can and my job was to take a straw and punch two holes in the biscuit tops...that was the birth of "button biscuits".

But I'm very frugal and buy only ones that have a low price. Sometimes I've found real treasures in someone's cast-away button box. I enjoy all of the extras that come in the button box, too.
