I have recently taken up quite a collection of vintage items from local thrift stores. My original idea was to collect enough stuff to decorate my own place (when I got one) but looking at my student loans...looks like that might not be happening anytime soon. It's hard to believe that education can be soooo expensive. So I've been doing a lot of thinking lately and decided to start selling my items in order to start paying my loans. I know it won't completely pay everything off but I hope it will help a bit. I'll be opening my Etsy shop in September so check back to find out what day it opens. Here are a few items that will be available:


Retro plastic pitcher

creamer and sugar set

2 cute mugs

These two are cowboy planters :)

Camera Collects

Lately I have started a camera collection. I collect things and it only made sense that I collect cameras. There are a few that I've picked up at thrift stores and some from Ebay. These are the other cameras that I own. Some work and some don't.

I don't think they make film for this one anymore.
And I want one of these REAL bad:

Photo Cred
Tis all for now. Gotta pack, going white water rafting in Fresno. Hey, I think Rachel
from the new Smile and Wave is from Fresno. Will post pictures when I come back.

Pat Osborne

I was fortunate enough to shoot Pat Osborne over the weekend. He's an animator for the Walt Disney Animation Studio. He is also a very talented painter.

I can't wait for the season premiere.

Wood

Here are a few items I found on Etsy today. Wood seemed to be the inspiration and there were some clever things made out of it.

And these are just too cute! From

I got inspired by this home I found on Design*Sponge. It belongs to Shay Ometz. It's such a beautiful home, so bright, cheery and inviting. I think I would want my future home to look a lot like this.
There's something about the turquoise color that I love. It always brightens up a room. I love the little owl corner

Once

I recently have been obsessed with the movie "Once". It stars the singers Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova. They sing that awesome song "Falling Slowly". I saw the movie a few weeks back and I haven't been able to stop listening to the soundtrack. I'm not a movie reviewer but I just thought the whole concept of the movie made sense along with the title. I don't want to give it away but I highly recommend that everyone should watch it.
