My grandmother inspired this piece. She was a seamstress and when she passed away she had tons of buttons in tin jars. I have some of her buttons and have accumulated some of my own. It hit me one day while I was throwing that others might appreciate having a jar to put left over buttons and sewing materials in (because lets face it spools of thread fill up tins pretty quick!) I made this piece with that in mind, but created an alternate lid with an open whole for knitters who would rather have somewhere to store their yarn while knitting:)
