The other day i found my grandma's old dented button tin, oh the memories that tin brought back to me.
I remember when it used to rain when i was a child she sit me down with that old button tin for hours we sort though it.
''Were did you get that one from Nanna'' i ask and she make a story up about it.
There were all kinds of buttons shapes, colours and sizes running your finger in all of them i remember has it was yesterday.
she never get rid of clothes with buttons on she cut them of and in the tin they go.
they were such happy times sadly Nanna as now passed on i got to keep the button tin.
and when my children were young i did the same has my Nanna did and told them stories of their great Nanna and her big button tin.
Now my children are all grown. i sometimes sit and look at the old dented button tin and remember the stories and run my fingers though the buttons, but most of all i remember my Nanna and her old button tin :) Love you Nanna xxx :)
