Count Your Buttons Day, October 21

If you’ve been out and about shopping recently, you’ve probably noticed a preponderance of small packaged candy lining the shelves. That’s right, we’re gearing up for Halloween! But before you start counting your sacks of sweets, get ready to count something else…your buttons!

That’s right, October 21 is Count Your Buttons Day according to holidayinsights.com. While the origins of this holiday appear to be unknown, the implications are clear to button collectors everyone – take some time to take stock of your collection! If you’d rather not count your buttons (or have too many to do so), why not reorganize them? Purchase a few new storage containers or display cases? Or maybe set a few aside to distribute in lieu of Halloween candy? You never know – maybe a future collector will be trick-or-treating at your door!

    What is it about buttons?  I love to just look at them and sometimes pick through them.  I would never hand them out at Halloween, but my grandchildren love to play with them (they are required to pick up and put them back in the jar.  I love the idea of putting them in more jars to display.  I think I will do that today!  Margaret
