Day 15: Halfway There!

By on June 22, 2011 in Inspiration and Everything Else

Can you believe I wore tights and a scarf on June 15th! What’s the weather like where you live? These days, it’s about fifty-fifty. Half the days have been nice, the other half have been cloudy or rainy or cold. Or perhaps I’m still a little bit under the weather and it has nothing to [...]

Do Buttons Have to Button?

Do Buttons Have to Button?

By on June 16, 2011 in Inspiration and Everything Else

What do you think about non-functioning buttons – decorative buttons? How about fake buttonholes with buttons sewn on top? Do any of these bother you, or are they legitimate design details?
