"I Remember Laura" Blog-A-Thon Week 2- Beautiful Buttons.....

"There were all the small buttons to sew firmly on, and the buttonholes to be made."

Little Town on the Prairie by Laura Ingalls Wilder
Working In Town ~ Chapter 5

Welcome to week two of the "I Remember Laura" Blog-a-thon! Last week's quilt posts were just wonderful! Thank you all for sharing your quilted memories. There is one new post that I added here, it is for Connie, who does not have a blog. I asked her permission to post her email to me as I thought it worth sharing with you all. She graciously said yes and you won't want to miss it!

On Wednesday's Prairie Post, the first installment of the interview with a relative of Laura Ingalls Wilder, Laura Ingalls Gunn of Decor to Adore, was featured. Stay tuned for part two to be featured on this coming Wednesday, you will be inspired and blessed.This week we will be sharing button collections, button identification and care, as well as button stories. Did you have a favorite dress with special buttons? Did you play in your grandmothers button box? There are many descriptions of the buttons used on clothing in the Little House books, from the plain and serviceable ones for the work shirts Laura made button holes for, the bright and beautiful like the ones that looked like berries on Ma's dress that she wore to the sugaring off party, to the fabric covered ones for Laura's best brown dress. Tell us about your button tales!
