A Most Special Gift


Today I got a package in the mail from my cousin, Tommye Ruth. When I saw the bracelet, I loved it, and then I read the story behind it.
She told me in a note that our Mema had given her a lot of her buttons about 26 years ago. My Mema was really good at sewing, gardening and cooking. My cousin was at the gym recently and saw a lady wearing a bracelet made out of buttons. She asked the lady about it and was able to have the lady make this bracelet for me out of Mema's old buttons.
After I read the note, I loved the bracelet even more!
I am so proud of my bracelet. How special to have something like this that belonged to my Mema, who I loved so much.

Laurie, I LOVE that idea. My grandma, who passed away about 5 years ago, has a huge container of buttons in one of her drawers at Grandpa's. I'm totally stealing this idea for some of the grandchildren. THANK YOU!
