| I think it was about a year ago someone on this forum acquired quite a stash of buttons. There is something in me that thinks it would be so fun to have a big bunch of buttons to go through - not sure why because I would never use all of them - I guess it's kind of like a kid with legos!
Well, I found this ad on our craigslist and just thought I'd share the picture with you - how is this for some buttons??? Karlene |

| This is interesting as it is only a few miles from me. I was surprised at the quanity she has. It would be so much fun to play with them but I wouldn't have the space to consider inquireing.. Jayne |

| That's a lot of buttons. How does one come by two huge metal crates of buttons? |
|
| I'm the one with the bunch of buttons. My mother got me almost 3 gallons of them at an auction. The grands had fun going through them and separating/playing with them. That is a huge collection of buttons, it would take a long time to get that many. beverly |

| Jayne - you're in the Rochester area? |
|
| But, not if you buy that crate! I used to give the twins a plastic needle and ask if they would string all the ?? anything buttons while I sewed. They loved it ....so did I.......win-win. |

| Yes, I live south of there in Canandaigua. Jayne |

| Oh! I'm in Geneseo! |
|
| Neighbors! Don't you miss having Chuck Bailey's store in Geneseo? I do, new location is a bit far for me. |

| My DH bought my machine from them after they moved over to Leicester so I've only gone to the new location for service. I just found out that there is a book fair at the the Coverlet Museum in Palmyra on 4/30 and 5/1. DH was told that there would be lots of quilt books there. I had never heard of it before but am curious. |

| I went to the Museum several years ago but have not heard of the book fair. They did have an interesting display of woven coverlets and a sm. display of crazy quilts by a local person. If you pass thru Canandaigua feel free to visit and become acquainted. Jayne |

| Thanks Jayne! Are there any good fabric places over there? The only one east of me that I know of is in Victor. Beverly - Just curious what you've done with your 3 gallons of buttons?!? I'm sure your grands have had a lot of fun with them! |
