Got the Camera, Now I Need a Bag.

 



There are slim pickings on camera bags when you're shopping at the obvious stores, but after an extensive search on the internet I am very fond of these 4. I'm looking for something that will protect my camera as well as double as my purse and look cute at the same time! They're a bit out of my price range for now, but with a little saving up, I think I can manage it. Unless any of you are going to graciously volunteer to get one for me ♥

Pasadena Flea Market :: Sunday, June 13, 2010


Every so often, I get to visit the flea market at the Pasadena Rose Bowl. It's only open every 2nd Sunday of each month and with my busy family schedule, I rarely get a chance to make it out there. So after 2 years, I am back and even came home with some cool stuff!

I went with the kakester and my dear friend Jenn. Her eagle eye scored me a vintage green suitcase. LOVE IT!!! It was even clean inside. And even better.. $15!!!

My vintage teacups. Aren't they so pretty!

Btw... the images of my finds were taken with my new camera :)

Happy Birthday to Me!



A month has passed since my birthday, but I always believe that the celebrating never stops!

I love that my cousin Eric works for Target and is so gracious to offer his discount to me. Yea. Discount. Who can't resist a Target discount? So it turned out that they were having the discount days last weekend and the camera happened to be on sale! Double score! So, I am now the proud owner if a Canon Rebel EOS Xi.

I didn't think it would be so sudden, but I'm excited to embark on this new photography trip. I have a photoshoot in the works for my cards and invitations. And not to mention all the cool pictures of my family! Ahhhhhh! So excited :)

With the exception of this photo (it was taken with my camera on my phone) look forward to some new photos on the bliggity-blog.
