reesetee Ah, the old freezer chest o' buttons. . . . Did your eyes burn every time you went into the fabric store? Mine did. All that fabric sizing, I think. Oct 21, 2008
chained_bear Didn't it have any buttons? Oct 21, 2008
trivet Your mother had a waaaay cooler fabric store to shop at than mine did. The one we went to had a pen on the porch to put the children in. Oct 21, 2008
chained_bear There was a fabric store near our house where my mom shopped for stuff to make all our clothes with. This store had an old chest freezer with the top door taken off. It was about half-filled with old and mismatched buttons. I used to stick my little-kid arms in it and try to touch the bottom. I remember thinking it would be cool to have an even bigger chest filled with more buttons, so I could get in it and roll around.
P.S. I still don't mean sheep droppings. Oct 21, 2008
