For those that grew up in the Great Depression, nothing was wasted. Every scrap of fabric, every coffee can, every button was saved for a future use. Northern Californians of the 21st century could learn a thing or two from those ancestors who lived so long ago. Whether your ancestors traveled to California from the Dust Bowl or if they were born in someplace like Sacramento or San Jose, if they were alive during the country's desperate times of the early 20th century, they saved things.

I think I'm just not big on button books. There seems to be a big emphasis on collecting, and that's just not my thing. And I think most button projects look homemade in the kitschy sense, and that's not really my style. There are a few cute ideas here, though, including the button napkin rings, the buttons on the shower curtain (I wouldn't do it, but it looks neat) and the button magnets. Who uses a yardstick cover? The button baby's are a cute kids' project.
