"one never knows"*

where a journey will lead(unless you're following a map, of course)

so I was thinking about buttons - like you do - and in my attempt to find the perfect image to illustrate my thoughts - a difficult proposition, one might imagine, but I was willing to give it a go - and from pearl buttons I was taken to "vintage" (I like "vintage"). . .

and that made me think of Pearly Kings and Queens. . .

who are not only vintage, but still modern. . .

and then I ended up at pearly grafitti. . .

so, only a short trip today,
but weird how I ended the week where I started it
(if you can remember that far back!)
(if you were paying attention, that is!!)
(I'll stop now)
