MEMORY JUG



                                                                                  
 


 
(Gayle Hajek.....2013)
 
This memory jug has buttons collected over the years by my Grandmother,
my sister, as well as myself.
Remembering the many button collections I have rummaged thru
over the years, I also included some of the odds and ends that always seem to end up
 nesting right along side those buttons. For example......bobbins, snaps, garders, pins, etc.
Included also are various religious medals, parts of rosaries, crosses, and a small icon.
