Re: Gramma's button

wow! that is an awesome site! I love the fact that Gram had this in her household buttons. I spent hours as a kid in the guest room (where I couldn't dirty her plastic covered furniture) going thru these treasures. & they still bring me hours of entertainment! was gonna say guess I'm a cheap date, but after looking at the prices on that site, I can't say that now!
