Treasure Chest Thursday Button Hooks


These button hooks belonged to my great-grandmother Winnie Haley Carr (1891-1970) of Halifax County, VA. I believe these hooks were used for her shoes. Thank goodness for slip-ons!

  1. Neat memories. My grandkids shoes are all velcro... not even laces anymore, either.

    Keep these ancestor stories coming!

  3. I think I've seen these in some of our family's treasures but didn't know what they were! Thanks for sharing!

    I found your blog from Tina Lyon's Gen Wish List entry for Thursday, March 4th. I'm glad she mentioned your site.
