Do onions make you sleepy? A friend of mine swears that a whiff of freshly- sliced onion can help defeat insomnia. Of course, she's up before the sun and to bed by 9:30pm most nights and only has an occassional bout of sleeplessness. According to her (and her mom, who introduced her to the idea), when your eyes tear up from those nasty onion vapors, it's easier to access your sleepy place. Hmmm. Now, I haven't tried onions for sleep, but I wonder if there's something to it. Is it hard, cold science or classical
conditioning? 
Hmmm again. Just one of those thoughts buzzing around the back of my mind this week. (I have found that earplugs can work wonders.)
As for the eye candy... Aaah, vintage buttons, recent acquisitions from Market. I had used up a few of my favorite buttons on recent projects and it was time to replenish the palette. One card each, of the best colors -- and boy, was it hard to stop at that. This booth had tables of bakelite, organized by hue. Drool. Thank heaven I was on my way to a meeting, or I would have been sucked into a mighty vortex of indecision.
