Missing: 1 button from Robin’s birthday jacket (bought with a gift certificate from beloved mother-in-law, Lynda)
Last seen: On Robin’s bed while she was threading a needle to sew it back on
Known Associates: Robin, Milla (who shortened the jacket), the department store where it lived before being bought
Description: Like this but gray:
Reward: For Adam, one home cooked meal. For Kevin or Alex, 5 bucks. For anyone else, I’m not sure, but I’ll think of something
Possible Whereabouts: Robin’s bedroom, alternative dimension with singular socks, on invisible alien’s jacket

Write in if you find this button. I fear that the longer it is missing, the more likely the button-nappers are to kill it.

I was in your house the other day and all I can say is Whew! Glad I’m not on the list of suspects. I say you replace it with a set of funky vintage buttons. I have a pretty good collection. Let me know if you want to peruse. I’ll even sew them on for you.

Good luck. I’m pretty sure the sock aliens are the culprits. What the hell are they doing with them anyway? Oh, you could always check the dog’s poop…or you could just find a new button. Gurg.

Have you checked with your dogs? Ours tried to eat a button a couple weeks ago.

I cut all the buttons off one of my jackets because it seemed easier than sewing all new matching ones on. I’m terrible with small clothing repairs. Hope you find your button!

Polly: Aw…Thank you so much. No. I couldn’t. Really. 7/8 inch. No. Really. I couldn’t.

mrsbear: My stupid dogs are so small, the button would take up their entire bodies. But, what if they did? I’m searching the yard poop.

Melanie: Hmmmm. . . I’m going to torture them and make them talk.

FringeGirl: Luckily, there are only 2 front buttons on this jacket. I’ve given up. I’m now searching for any 4 holed gray nice button. I’ll put up signs in the neighborhood.

I’ve got a liftetime supply of buttons — inherited from my late mother-in-law, along with all her sewing accoutrements. No doubt somewhere in that stash is a button with your name on it. I’m going downstairs right now to look for “Robin Altman in the round.”

Pearl: I have only one thing to say,(aside from thank you so much for the offer), and that is. . . dark gray, 7/8″. Nuff said.
