She who plays with buttons.

Buttons bring back a multitude of good memories for me.

These are some of the things that put a Shine on my day...the glow of a candle, glass door knobs, flowers in bloom, vintage lace, beautiful vintage ladies with their gorgeous hair, beautiful clouds, gracefulness of a butterfly in flight, sparkles...

IA Broken Pieces Challenge

http://inspiration-avenue-team.blogspot.com/

This is a bit of a departure from my norm.  The challenge broken pieces...I chose to use remnants from the past.  I consider them to be broken pieces since they are incomplete.  The top image is the remnants of an Alger Smith Logging Railroad trestle as it exists in northern Minnesota presently.

The second image is just a weary little building standing in Clarissa, MN.  It has broken windows so there you have my Broken Pieces

O' say can you see...
