The Button Jar

Everyone was posting 'button' photographs the other day, just when I was searching through my jar for a replacement button for a pair of dad's trousers. So, I reckoned it was a good moment to showcase the jar!

It's a great shot but I truly have something called koumpounophobia. Thankfully it does not extend to these things(don't like the word either) on clothes but in tins or jars they just give me the creeps!! I'll pass quickly on now.........

Live a good button jar. My Aunty had a great collection which my sister inherited..

[Casablanca]

Lovely dof on this. Love buttons en masse.

@quietpurplehaze I never met anyone with that before, but I totally understand it. Different things affect me!

[Wylie]

Your's is right up there with the classics!

[Valerie Chesney]

I love button jars... mine are just in a clip lock plastic bag.

[Diana]

Wonderful capture and pov, that is quite a selection you have there!

[Babs]

I think we all have button jars etc. I have a button tin and my button collection is in an old Cadbury Roses tin.

[Gosia]

Great capture

[Kathy A]

I like the way the buttons are spilling out of the jar. I too have my buttons in an old Roses tin like Babs @onewing

[Dawn]

A cool pov

[Merrelyn]

Nicely done.

[Kathy]

I like the shallow DoF. Good subject.

[KWind]

Great focus and dof!

@quietpurplehaze I never knew such a thing existed!!! You live and learn.

@jamibann

I knew I had it but only recently learned that it's a recognised phobia with a name it's hard to remember!

[Kitty Hawke]

Whoo knew this had a name.......have a friend whose husband has this ......Nice pic. I have a tin (Quality Street) of buttons, some which which are my Nans......

[Tunia McClure]

I used to just run my fingers through my mother's collection. It felt so good.

[Leslie]

I have a tin of my moms buttons

[Shutterbug]

Button collections have so much variety and probably stories about favorite pieces of clothing.

[amyK]

Nice dof on this

[Phil Howcroft]

everyone has one Issi :)

[haskar]

Lovely pov and dof.

I couldn't get to my official button jar like yours (a sign that I truly need to do some purging), so I found a smaller version. I love looking at button collections especially when there are interesting ones in there like that red gingham one in this pile. Good shot!
