Thought I'd try to post a photo, too. This arrangement and "button" picture is from my Mom's room in the assisted living facility where she now lives. I took the pic last week when much of the family got together to celebrate her 90th birthday (and yes, she was still able to blow out her candles on the cake!).
My wife made the floral arrangement from flowers from our yard, and my daughter-in-law did the "monogram" H from old buttons mostly from Mom's mother's button jar. (back during depression days, every family had a button jar. If a garment could no longer be repaired, certainly the buttons were kept for repairs that might be needed on something else later on. The idea of just tossing something usable -- even old buttons -- just was not what folks did during those lean years).
