...I try and try...every once in a while. Time to organize buttons. Cool the idea of glass jars, colorful and fun to look at, but not really space saving. Mmmm, definitely I should avoid buying a thousand new small plastic boxes, so? First attempt: since we started having "the girls" in the garden making eggs, friends and neighbours kept for us many egg boxes, why not using them?

Tryed but considering how many buttons I have, I would have needed a thousand egg boxes, and a giant cupboard to store them...

So here comes the "IKEA idea": the useful (and very much used) ikea re-sealable bags and a box I bought last time I was there!
Moooolto meglio! E quanto spazio guadagnato! Con giusto due eccezioni: i bottoni marroni restano nel barattolone di salsa al formaggio per i nachos che mi sono portata dall'ultima gita USA e che ho "dovuto" finire apposta per i bottoni marroni e, ovviamente, la scatola verde molto vintage in cui il nonno Giacomo con le sue manone aveva messo tutti i bottoncini bianchi-panna... troppo affetto e troppi ricordi per cambiare! PS Dimenticavo: anche UNA scatola per tutti gli SPECIALI, grandi e colorati.
Much much better! And so much space left! With just two exception: brown buttons cannot go anywhere else but in this jar of cheese sauce for nachos I brought back last time I was in the States and I HAD TO finish just in order to put all my brown buttons there and, obviously, the vintage green box that grampa filled up himself with all the white-cream buttons...too many memories and too much love to chage! PS I almost forgot: ONE box for all the SPECIALS, big and colorful.
