I adore buttons. I used to love it when my mum was looking for a particular size, and she'd tip out the jar! I have a fair few too, but I rarely need to go to the tin!
Lovely composition fits the challenges perfectly Hazel, funnily as a small boy my grandmother had a jar full of buttons that freaked me out every time she took it out of her sawing basket, now I know I was suffering from koumpounophobia:)
i certainly don't suffer from this one!!! I have way too many buttons and was so like @gijsje I have my mothers too. As a child my mother always bought a selection of buttons for me to play with at an annual sale :)

I am not a sufferer but I do learn the most interesting tidbits here. I just taught my youngest how to sew one on, might save him from buying a new shirt when he is on his own. I hope you have safely put this tin back in its hiding place. Great capture.
I thought everyone one would love a tin of buttons supplied by their Grandmother to keep them quiet when visiting. An interesting name for your phobia though.
@quietpurplehaze No no! It's the bonbons that would freak me out! Whereas buttons are actually useful... no I'm out of date with that as my useless fingers will no longer fasten buttons for me! I have trouble with zips too! Maybe I need those poppers found on BabyGrows! :-)

So far, very interesting 2:1!!!
Yes, can't think of its origin!
How strange it is, Peter. I found the name out rather by chance and have now forgotten where, but the phobia definitely exists for me.

They give me the creeps to handle them.
Eating buttons! Are you trying to freak me out.,
