Smurfs Log: Buttons

* Part of the "Housecleaning (Things Left in My Mom's House)" series

Mom moved out of her house about four months ago. I have been spending a few hours every week organising things. Today I began the final leg of this journey: sorting her sewing room.

Throughout her life, she collected thousands of buttons of all shapes and colours. I'm finding it very difficult to decide what to do with this treasure trove…

#History #Caregiving #Photography

A dense, chaotic pile of buttons in various shapes, sizes, colors, and materials. The collection includes translucent amber-colored plastic, polished wood, matte black resin, metallic gold-toned crests, and even fabric-covered "shank" buttons in dark navy.

While most are circular, they vary from flat discs to domed spheres. Some have visible four-hole or two-hole centers, while others feature intricate embossed designs, like a lion’s crest or floral geometric patterns.

This image evokes a sense of nostalgia, reminiscent of a tailor's scrap box or a grandmother’s sewing kit, where decades of mismatched fasteners have been gathered over time.
