How adorable are these vintage buttons??? They're about 3/8'' in diameter, and have little scalloped edges. I was hunting around for pics for todays post and these were perfect. And then I decided that I just had to have them. The packaging was definitely about 35% of the reason that I wanted them (yes, I'm a sucker for lovely packaging: it really matters how things are presented). They will live on my inspiration board for a little while before being used.

No post on orange would be complete without oranges.

Produce is awesome. As a photographer, I fantasize about produce. It is so brilliantly colored with such great texture, that it takes so little to coax out an amazing snapshot.
