Buttons of Home

I love taking photographs of anything and everything! Button is this weeks' Theme Thursday and it allowed me to experiment with reflections and angles of everyday items. I hope you all like it.

Da-da-ding! A text. Ba-bing. An e-mail. My husband never leaves home without it.

You don't know how to drink. Your whole generation, you drink for the wrong reasons. My generation, we drink because it's good, because it feels better than unbuttoning your collar, because we deserve it. We drink because it's what men do. ~Roger Sterling from AMC Mad Men

Beep beep beep. Come and get it!

Good music comes out of people playing together, knowing what they want to do and going for it. You have to sweat over it and bug it to death. You can't do it by pushing buttons and watching a TV screen. ~Keith Richards

She lacks confidence, she craves admiration insatiably. She lives on the reflections of herself in the eyes of others. She does not care to be herself. ~Anais Nin

When I free my body from its clothes, from all their buttons, belts, and laces, it seems to me that my soul takes a deeper, freer breath. ~August Strindberg

Small gems that catch my eye every morning.

  1. My husband's Blackberry on the console table, a photograph of him in the background being reflected on the screen.
  2. An eye level view of my husband.
  3. Our microwave.
  4. My husband playing some great tunes on Guitar Hero.
  5. My favorite vintage inspired high-waisted buttoned up skirt. I love that I can see myself in all five buttons. Sadly the quote is true for most young adolescent girls and young women. Some take years to over come it.
  6. There are more buttons on the other side.
  7. The beautiful buttons that sit on top of my dresser waiting to be sewn back onto their garments.
