SOLVED. Historical Romance. The scene I remember had a little girl with with an old ribbon where she kept her collection of buttons...'her button string'? [s]

A scene popped into my head from a book I read in the past 3 years or so--it could be an older book re-released on kindle?
The scene I remember had a little girl with with an old ribbon where she kept her collection of buttons...'her button string'??
Sorry it's not much info, I'm thinking an author like Lisa Kleypas or Amanda Ashley??

Where Dreams Begin by Lisa Kleypas? It contains multiple references to "button string".

I agree. Sounds like Where Dreams Begin. The heroine's daughter has a button string. One of the reviews even quotes it:

“What is that, Miss Rose?”
“My button string.” The child let some of the length fall to the ground, displaying a line of carefully strung buttons…picture buttons etched with flowers, fruit or butterflies, ones made of molded black glass and a few of painted enamel and paper. “This one is my perfume button,” Rose said proudly, fingering a large one with velvet backing. She lifted it to her nose and inhaled deeply. “Mama puts her perfume on it for me, to make it smell nice.”
