birthday party

I just bought a new computer and I need to install some programs before I can process my photos, so I've been unable to really post. Also, it was my bday this week so I've been busy with all the parties! ha. In the meantime, let me show you something I got for my birthday. My friend Regena makes really nice jewelry that I've always wanted to own, and she surprised me with a locket necklace!!


Mine is actually a little different than this one, but you can find others like it on her etsy site here.

Ok, I'm in Chicago now with Laura & Casey so I'll be back soon.

let's play

I'm interested in playing with this 35mm twin lens reflex. Although, with all the new plastic toy cameras out lately, they should be less. I think they are hiking up these prices due to the trendiness of them, rather than functionality. They usually aren't precise on focusing because they are so light that they move while clicking and the lenses are plastic, rather than glass. It's nice though to have something less than a $600 - $8oo Mamiya to play with, although I would LOVe to play with the mamiya someday.



The blackbird is $120-$130 at Fred Flare or Amazon.

Costa Rica

More photos of CR. These are from my first day, just leaving the airport.

cat in the box

I haven't had time to post anything. But I will now that I just bought a new computer (that I cannot afford!). But for now, enjoy my coco in a box. :)

credenza restoration

I don't know if I would prefer the original wood, maybe just restained... but I do love this restored credenza on Design Sponge.

projects

I finally made a necklace with my shells from Costa Rica! The other one is made with white feather ornaments, but it may need something else.. A work in progress. The last photo is a dress I got from the thrift store for $1. It's horrible, I know. But I'm going to attempt to make it cute. Check back for an update...
