Button! Button! Whose got the Button?
The 2024 Jubilee theme is BUTTONS!
I love finding and rescuing mason jars full of buttons at thrift stores! There is not much better than a row of jars filled with bright, vividly colored buttons! Bonus points if you have yours in rainbow order! Lol
I had a wonderful chat with Grace about the history of MJF Jubilee and the various themes over the years!
Jubilee “A special anniversary of an event”
Who better to celebrate than our Queen Bee, Mary Jane Butters? Jubilee is a time of fun and celebration from January – May (Mary Jane’s birthday month).
What can you do to join in the fun? Share, Share, Share!
Have a collection of buttons? Take a picture of your collection and post it right here on this thread. Then be sure to apply for badge number 10 in the Stitching and Crafting section, while you are at it! That’s the beginner’s level for the badge! :)
Incorporate buttons into your crafting..do you love to crochet? Add some buttons for eyes or a nose. Do you sew? Add a decorative button or two or three to your project. Are you a paper crafter, like me? Create a fun card to share, add some thread to a button and then add it to the layout of your card. There are so many fun ways buttons add flair to your creations! Heck, you can even make an entire project with buttons…Christmas ornaments, pictures, pillows, the possibilities are endless! What about making a bracelet or necklace with some favorite buttons? Yes??? Perfect…you’ve just earned yourself the intermediate level for the buttons badge! If you are more interested in learning more about the history of buttons and adding some antique ones to your collection, you are well on your way to earning the advanced level for the badge! All you have to do is share your joy with buttons via sharing pictures on this thread. Remember you will have to follow the procedures for applying for the badges as well!
If you feel so inclined to share a part of your collection with a farmgirl sister, add a few to a ziplock baggie and drop them in the mail. Farmgirl Happy Mail is the best! :)
Please share if you have a button collection, have a favorite button, or where you love to find more buttons for your collection!
I can’t wait to see what you share!
Happy Button Jubilee, Farmgirls!

OMGEEPERS!!! Look what came in today’s mail… and the funny thing is, it’s from an old High School pal who is not a MJF member, so she had no clue about our Jubilee Button theme!
3 metal buttons with my initials…
