Wowsers.. on that second site, that lady has a LOT of buttons!! I actually like that button layout she did too!!! TFS Colleen!!!

I totally relate to this:

Because Cindy Liebel doesn’t have quite as much space to store all of her buttons by color in jars, she uses a few large jars (from Ikea) to store all all of her buttons together. “I just love how colorful they all look together and I am a digger. I love to rummage through piles of stuff–it’s like digging for gold!”

from the secong site. I store most of mine in plastic containers sorted by color but you can bet that I still have a big container to dig in.... Remember Lewiscraft and the big barrel of buttons they had at the counter?? I loved that place..

I've been reusing medicine bottles & am going to sort mine by color. The only thing I don't like is that the medicine bottles are yellow/orangeish tinted & it distorts the colors a bit. We just have so many medication bottles, it feels wrong to throw them out.

Lots of good ideas. Once I get shelving in place, I`d like to have clear containers so I can see all the colors.

Great Idea using the medicine bottles, I have been buying spice bottles at the $store and keep my newer buttons in them sorted by color but I still have my Grandmother's Coffee can.

Me too, Gail.

I have some of those magnetic spice jars and the glass ones from Ikea
