“I love buttons! I have two jars of buttons that I have been collecting for a few years. I like to embellish greeting cards with buttons or create dolls and use buttons as eyes.
Buttons are wonderful to have on hand. A jar of buttons is also a simple, beautiful decoration. I plan on continuing to collect buttons.
Winnie Nielsen says: Jennifer, what a very creative idea with your stash of buttons! Love the possibilities!!
annie says: Buttons are familiar bonbons of cute. thanks jennifear, reading your post today inspired me to check out my button collection some of which belonged to my great grandmother what a treasure. Have a wonderful day.

Here’s how:
MaryJane will post a photo and a description of a prop and its cost along with a few details as to its condition here: https://shop.maryjanesfarm.org/MaryJanesCurations. It’s a playful way to be the new owner of a little bit of farm herstory.
I think I read somewhere that John Deere first started out from a blacksmith in New England(Vermont?) who created a better plow for the rocky soil. Is that the story you know about?
Sounds like some research is in order.
