Wow, it’s been quite a while since my last post. Sorry for my absence but all work and no play = no time to post! I’m back for a few seconds to share some of my newest pictures – taken with my new toy…

I am having FAR too much fun with this camera, it’s hard to put it down. I think I may have found a new business venture. Stay tuned and look for more photos coming to etsy soon!

fun with TtV

As my friends know, I can’t, for the life of me, sit still and always have to have my hands working on something creative. So, when I came across this post at Smile and Wave last week I immediately knew I had to try this. What better time than now to try out a new hobby…what with the winter doldrums and all? After reading this tutorial at Hula Seventy I was on eBay seconds later looking for a vintage camera. But let me tell you, after bidding on and losing no less than four vintage cameras I was just about to give up. And then, I got lucky and snagged an Argoflex Seventy-five for a mere $7.00. The vintage camera gods were definitely smiling down on me that evening!

all fancy with a case and everything!

I’ve always wondered how folks were able to get the old style rounded corner, grainy photos. Silly me. Here I thought they were actually taking photos with vintage cameras and developing the prints in dark rooms. To my shock and surprise I realized that I, too, could take this type of photo. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to secure the camera I lust after – this one. But, Nifty Thrifty Girl is more than happy to put out the “Will work for Camera” sign!

Keep in mind that I’m working with a sub-standard camera; a Sony Cybershot. Although it is cute and pink and handy – I certainly hope to be able to get myself into one of those spiffy Canon’s REAL soon. And now, without further ado, some of my first shots…

What fun, right? I can see this new found hobby may be a bit of a problem for me. I’ve already been late for one appointment because I was busy playing with my new toy.

It’s finally here!

We interrupt our regularly scheduled program to bring you some shots of Spring!

Even the moss looks lush after the winter drab.

Lots o’ blossoms!

Even Gus loves the sunshine.
