Button Button who's got the button?

I adore buttons. I was so happy when my friend, Paula, found this sewing treasure of buttons and bobbins and thread. I used the cloth covered buttons for my gluebook page for today. I often wonder about old buttons.....like was it from a favorite outfit? I tried one time to cover buttons...it is hard to do to make it come out perfectly. So for now, I will enjoy these buttons and wonder ........where did they all come from.
