Button Envy

A think I thought today was that I have button envy!

I have a button box full of lovely buttons but they are all thrown in together and there is no order! This is not good for my OCD!!!! 

I would love to get them organised but it is finding the time to do this.  While reading my latest book “The secret lives of dresses” by Erin McKean, I read this paragraph drooling

“ Mimi’s button box was completely extravagant.  It was the Taj Mahal, the Buckingham Palace, the Smithsonian Institute of button boxes.  It wasn’t really a button box at all, but a huge steel rolling tool chest from Sears, with a dozen drawers.  Each Drawer was partitioned  with teeny plastic dividers, gone yellow with age, and in each corral was a set of buttons, no fewer than six of the same colour and design.  The bottom two drawers were for the rogues and the strays – the light ones in the uppermost drawer, and the dark ones in the very bottom...........The Drawers were labelled........The top drawer the smallest labelled RHINESTONE, the next one down METALLIC and the one below that WOOD.  Then the drawers were in ROYGBIV order”

I want one of those!!!!!!
