A quick laugh
Two things I learned in the past week.
1. Never try and write a blog when you are half drunk. My sister made some lovely Margaritas while I was in San Diego, and after I finished my pitcher I decided to write a blog. You will notice that the incoherent dribble in my previous post was just that, incoherent. Now you know why.
2. When buy a wholesale lot of used good, inspect the lot first. In my case I won an on line auction for 3 pallets of ceramic supplies. After many trials and tribulations, I finally got them home; and what did I find when I did? 2 palletts worth of ceramic supplies and one whole pallet of buttons. Yes, buttons. A 4' by 4' pallet stacked roughly 4 feet high of nothing but buttons. By my reckoning it counts out to North of 450,000 buttons.
These things only happen to me...
If you ever loose a button, you know who to call.

I thought your last blog was maybe in Latin or something. Imagine my disappointment that you were just blotto.
Some suggestions for the use of 4 million buttons:
1. Create window treatments, like the old hippie beaded curtains, using ribbon and your buttons. How many windows in your house?
2. "Wall paper" a wall- or two, or twelve- with them.
3. Use them to make mosaic tables and/or chairs.
4. Use them for confetti at the Christmas parade.
5. Use thin set concrete and use them as flooring.
6. Need a new roof?
7. Send them to Serbia or Africa or some place they might be needed and appreciated.
8. Donate them to the Girl Scouts for crafts.
9. Sell them to a clothing or uniform manufacturer.
10. Decorate your Christmas tree with them.
Whatever you do, do NOT become known as a button man.
Your adoring mama.
