My MIL passed away late last year and the family have had
several working bees in clearing out the house. Once the furniture had gone to
new owners, we had to deal with cupboards and wardrobes full of bits and pieces
collected over the years. Robin’s sister does not sew, and neither do the other
daughter-in-laws, so I claimed the big black button bag. How exciting – not
only does it contain heaps of interesting buttons, but also lots of buckles
too. In fact, I’m wondering if it may have belonged to Robin’s granny at some
stage, and maybe she passed it on to MIL.

The weather is certainly getting colder so I can’t help myself - I’ve been
cooking up more soup. Today I made broccoli and cheese soup for lunch. This
is made in the microwave and whizzed up in the food processor. Yummy, I love
home made soup.

Thank you ladies, I consider myself very lucky to get all those lovely buttons! I'm sure I'll be dipping into the bag from time to time.
Love those buttons. I too inherited several tins of buttons found here in the house and just love them. Love that soup...what a great way to eat your broccoli.
