buttons and bows by summerfield

buttons and bows

i noticed my little jar of buttons on my window ledge and it made me recall this little ditty that my cousins and i used to sing as little girls (that was years ago hahaha!). so after supper, i went to get a couple of bows and added to the photo some of my leftover wedding craft materials when i used to be crafty (at the turn of the century!) before writing and photography claimed my artistic inclinations.

so, here's another 40's song, this one was a hit for dinah shore.

methinks i can make a week of 1940's songs. or probably just until the month's end. :-)
Wonderful comp and processing - and now I'll be singing that all day!

Lovely nostalgic feel to this! Fun to watch the video too. Well, I've come up with an idea for July if you want to do it with me. I don't think I'll post it as a challenge; I don't feel like managing one right now! I'm going to tackle a month of high-key, high-contrast black and whites. Sometimes they'll be predominantly white; other times predominantly black. If I go insane trying to find subject matter after a week I might switch over to ultra vibrant colors and then alternate the weeks. That's where I'm headed now- and actually the only reason why I decided to do this was because you and a couple others said, "Oh, your alphabet has been so much fun to see! What are you doing next?" Otherwise I was just going to do random shots! LOL

@olivetreeann - let's do it! do we have a theme or would it be just some random subjects, whatever we feel like? yay!

@summerfield You can choose any subject you'd and we'll tag it high-c-july or highcjuly. Maybe I should post it...
June 29th, 2016  
That should say "any subject you like".

Nicely composed. Maybe next you can treat us to some "Baubles, Bangles, and Bright Shiny Beads!" :-)
