I am in the process of organizing my massive amounts of supplies. I have been finding these snazzy glass containers in thrift stores. They all have different sized bases, but all the same lid. I love them-they make my buttons look like candy containers! Right now, I only have 4 of them, so my colors are kind of combined. Red, Pink and purples..White, Yellows and Creams etc.. So as I continue to gather more of these fun little containers, I will separate out my colors.
I am on the lookout for large sized ones too for trims and patches, appliques and spools of thread. If anyone knows of a supplier, let me know!
Tomorrow-I have found the best trim deal anywhere.. :)

You and Heather Bailey and your photos! So beautiful! I love how you can make buttons look so dazzling. I wish I could take pictures like that. I seem to take better pictures of my children than my things. :)

Oh my..I am blushing. To be compaired to Heather - there must be some sort of business milestone prize right?
I love pictures of my kids too. :) I have only just started taking pictures of immobile things-it seemed strange in the beginning to take a picture of something not alive. Kind of like "what's the point!?" But now I could take pretty pictures for hours, just to look at them.
But I definately still have a LOT to learn.
Thank you for your compliment. :)

You have the greatest buttons.

Such pretty glass containers! I saw some gorgeous glassware on clearance in Target's Global Bazaar section today but nothing quite as striking as your find. (And still a bit too pricey for my cheapness!)

Really pretty! And since I´m swedish ;-) do you have Ikea near you? They have a jar-collection with a similar look, but not as charming as the ones you have.

Hi Sandi- Those glass jars are a great idea. I am storing my buttons in small containers, but it is too hard to find which button I need. I love that yours look like candy jars!
