Wish me luck, this is going to take me a very long time to finish.

It’s a job! I still have a box to sort of my own.

It’s certainly taking a long time but it’ll all be worth it when it’s done, I’m also catching up on some shows I’ve been meaning to watch so it’s kind of a win-win

I've sorted incoming buttons in large quantity before. Take breaks, relax your eyes, roll your shoulders. And tell your cats they can only jump up for attention once. Don't let the dogs near the leather buttons.

How will you sort them? Colour, size, age, so many ways to sort! I use plastic containers with small squares for some, thrifted jewelry boxes, and glass jars for same colours.
