He is very protective over this button collection and guards it faithfully. Oh and yes he does bite!
My mother used to tell me that she first got the buttons then got yarn and a project to match her buttons. Backwards maybe but sometimes I see her point.
Of course she did not have the selection and sources that I'm lucky to have. But collecting buttons stuck with me. I inherited her collections and her compulsion to collect buttons. To my surprise I too have started projects with buttons picked out first. Go figure!
Too many buttons in my collection, how big is your button collection?
