Ira could have written this post about Momma 😉 Those two women belonged to the same club! I am so excited that you had a button jar. I know from experience that those button jars are so special. After Momma passed, I was allowed to pick a few items and I proudly chose her shears that her poppa used to tailor coats for a living. I also chose the pointy embroidery scissors that she used all those years as we sat and knit together. I am so grateful for the memories and for the years we had together. Even though we lost then, we are truly blessed.

Your post brought me to tears. My grandma drank Pabst Blue Ribbon beer and was a ferocious NY Mets fan. She had a salt & pepper shaker collection of over 1000 pairs. I remember her knarled, arthritic fingers, always had a fresh coat of bright red nail polish. She inspired my baking obsession with her homemade coffee cake. I lost her too soon too. :o(
