Cute as a button, everyone said
As she lay there so sweetly
In her pink baby bed.
Then as she grew
Years put on a few
Playing with Buttons
Her favorite thing to do.
At grandmas she'd string them
Like beads just for fun
Red yellow blue
Bright pink one by one.
Then when she was four
Buttons still more
Buttonhead loved them
For her decor
Buttons on lampshades
And on her drawers
Button framed mirrors
In her closet on hangers
And on hooks just for looks
Stored them in jars
And in files and in books
Over the years her button love grew
And her collection
To lots...from just a few
Long story...short
I need to report
Now, when you see her...out on the town
Her handbag, her jewelry...
And, even her gown
Will be covered with buttons
From her head to her toes
Buttonhead wears them wherever she goes
a picture from the book of...
Miss Buttonhead

Do you collect buttons? Do you sort them?
If so, how do you sort them? or do you just store them?
Tommorrow I will show you some of my
Buttons!
and...you'll be GRATE-FULL to know that
...it WON'T be the one in the middle of meeee
ol' tummy!

What a cute little story - thanks!! :)
I too collect buttons. I absolutely love to find fun shapes,different sizes and all kinds of colors. Some are just in glass jars, they look so neat in there on the shelf in my sewing room. I also have a plastic case with dividers and sort some of the better buttons in there - makes them easier to find when I want a special one for a project.
I have lots of buttons - some on cards, and some loose. The loose buttons are stored by color in glass spice jars in a pretty rack. I love looking at vintage buttons, too - such wonderful designs!!
I used to have a wonderful tin full of old buttons that my mom had saved.. unfortunately it didn't make the move to our new house with us. Many of my crafty things had to be sacrificed due to weight constraints.. BOOOO.. deep sadness. I've started to save a few, but none are as nice as those that my mom had in that tin. perhaps that is nostalgia talking.
Can't wait to see your buttons. Like the others, I have a button collections too. Cute little story and reminded me of the game 'button, button, who's got the button' - played at my gran's with one of her precious buttons from her favorite tin.
Hi, I have lots of buttons. They were my grandmothers and I keep most of them in a big tin but I also have some in jars...big, small, square and round ones...lots of different buttons.
What a cool picture, she would make a great mini quilt...now theres an idea, you could get all your bloggers to make a mini quilt based on that trendy lady!!!
I haven't started a button collection yet but I would like to. I have seen some many cute buttons on Etsy.
Very cute poem!
I am always afraid I will hit the wrong key and post something before I'm ready and it's edited. You pulled it off well. ;)
I used to have a bunch; then kind of got away from using them for awhile but now am kind of getting into them again.
