Vintage Snap Love

Aren't they sweet?

And look at that killer smile!

Went to the Cattle Barn Flea Market in Fort Worth this weekend and scored some random goodies. I fell in love with these two photos and had to take them home with me. I also found a completely filled diary from 1927. The daily entries are a tiny glimpse of the life of a college girl living the north east. There are mostly facts recorded: what she did that day, where she went and who she saw. A nice little glimpse into life in the 1920's.

New Cards

Magnolia Blossom Card

Seed Pod Card

I've been having fun with PhotoShop this morning. There are now two new cards in my Etsy shop and a print. I can still smell that magnolia blossom. I love spring....

Botanic Gardens

Some things I saw at the Fort Worth Botanic Gardens this weekend. See more at my Flickr. Happy Monday.

Front Page! YAY!

Yay! My Rusty Trunk photo made the front page on Etsy in cricketapollo's beautiful treasury! Thanks so much, cricketapollo. What a wonderful way to END a weekend!

Vintage Heaven

I finally went to Bon Ton in Forreston!! It is the most amazing place. And so much better than I remembered. There really isn't any place like it on earth. Its not just a vintage shop, its a whole building! Downstairs you'll find John and his vintage books, records, fabric, lamps, art and more in the front. In the back is the children's vintage clothing. Upstairs is Barbara's unbelievable men's and women's clothing collection. Something from every decade. Hats, SHOES, bags, suits, dresses, jackets, evening gowns, gloves, scarves, ties, jewelry.... Barbara and John have a real jewel. No wonder people come from all over the country to visit. I can't wait to go back!

Warm Fuzzies

These are my furry babies. I've been learning about Photoshop lately and found some free "actions" to play with. I just couldn't resist making some fake polaroids of our pooches really quickly using these actions. I used a free action from Elusive Photography. This girl's photography is amazing and inspirational. You can find her photographs here.

Beach Vacation

I've been on a much needed breather on Anna Maria Island on the Florida gulf coast. What an amazing place: lush, low-key, not crowded and WARM. The beaches are so powdery. The Island is skinny, so there's a beach side and a bay side. Manatees hang out on the bay side, though I didn't see one. And every night there is a beautiful sunset on the beach side. I feel so fortunate to have stumbled upon this while checking out TripAdvisor.com. No one I know has been there, so it was a shot in the dark. And what a lucky shot! We'll be back for sure.

Lambs

Beautiful lambs at the Fort Worth Stock Show this weekend. I could have taken pictures all day. I watched love and care that was put into these beautiful animals. Inspiring.

Cows

Some friends I made while visiting the Fort Worth Stock Show. Each had her own personality.
