THE BUTTON QUEEN

I'd like to think that my mother would have won the title of "Button Queen" with all the sewing she's done over the years. Her passion since at least the age of 12 has been sewing. She has sewn everything from undergarments to making my dad suit coats. When all the other kids at school in the 70's wore the latest garments, we would be decked out with her latest creations. At the time I didn't think it was so cool, but looking back I know that I was blessed by it. She would sew from morning to evening and then some. Our dad would tease her about it, but he would drag people back to their closets and show them her latest designs. He was and still is very proud of her. Mom will be 80 on the 26th of this month, so I guess this post is in honor of her.

I started this post with showing where we spent our Saturday on Easter weekend in mind, which was the following http://69.49.80.78/museum/Update%20Web/History%20Main%20Page.htm. As we toured the museum and the shops along the street in this quaint little town, my thoughts kept going to "mom" and her years of sewing and many buttons that she used.

I hope you enjoy the tour!

BLESSINGS,
