An Awesome Find For My Camera Collection

 I have wanted one of these for so
long and I finally found one at a
steal at Renningers Flea Market
here in Mount Dora, Fl.
 
 
I've wanted to start a camera
collection for a long while, and
this is the perfect start! It's a
1901 Eastman Kodak with bellows,
and it's in amazing great shape!
It's 113 years old!
 
 
I don't know what it is about
old old camera's, but I love
them and love looking at them.
 
Once we get our own home, I
plan on displaying them in
my hubby's library. They'll
look good with all his old books.
 
 
There is some pitting on the
the metal parts,
a little bit of scuffing on the leather case, the leather handle
on top is broken, and a few
worn edges on the bellows on
one side, but not badly......
but the rest looks really good!
She does need a bit of dusting
again though but a beauty she is!
 
 

I wonder if this baby works!
That would be so cool!
Who ever owned her before really
took good care of her.
 
 
I'm definately a happy girl!
 
My next search is for a Kodak
Brownie camera. My dad bought
me my first camera when I was
nine for my birthday and it was
a Brownie....I wish I knew what
ever happened to that. I would
love to have been able to have
that in my collection durn it!
 
As I was leaving to run some
errands yesterday, I walked
outside and found my minature
roses were blooming on the
trellis....I just
had to take some pictures,
they are so sweet!
 
 
 
 
I gots a craving for potato
chips with melted cheddar
cheeses....So yummy!
 
I normally use Scoops Tortilla
Chips...adding shredded cheese
and after I melt it in the micro
wave, I top it with salsa. One
night I was craving this and had
no Scoops, so I grabbed the bag
of potato chips, threw cheese on
them, nuked it for about a minute
and dang if that wasn't pretty
good too! Whatever works!
 
Now to go stuff my face! :)
Not the healthiest snack I'm
sure, but going for it anyway!
 
 
Thank you so much for the visit!
Enjoy your day! XOXO
 
TaTa for Now...
Love and Blessings!

Got Camera - Got Shoes - Got FUN!

 
My New Photo Shooting Shoes!
 
Those of you who know me, know I love taking
pictures.....so when I saw this idea I just had to
make me a pair of....."go to photo shooting shoes!"

 
The day I saw this idea, I just couldn't resist!
So I ordered myself a pair of Van's slip on
tennis shoes, and as soon as they arrived....
I couldn't wait trying this out!
 
 
Kind of a bad picture.....a bit blurry, sorry.
My camera died so I had to use my cell
phone to take the pictures.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I used photo's of vintage camera's and flowers I found
on the internet. My favorite camera is the Brownie,
which is the very first camera I ever had given to me by
my father on my ninth birthday. Wish I still had it!
 
I did a decoupage technique using Liquitex with my camera
and flower print outs. Once dried, I sprayed them with
water, lightly rubbed off the paper, and then sealed them
with the Liquitex again. Then I scribbled flowers all
over the shoes with a permanent marker, and then hand
stamped the words "got camera" on the heels. I then went
over the letters with my permanent marker.
 
I TOTALLY loved the shoes I saw so I tried to make
mine as close to them as I could. If they had been
in a store, I would have bought them in a New York
minute! Or if the girl had been selling them...they are
right up my photography loving world!
 
Not perfect....but I just LOVE them!
 
You can bet next time you see me with my camera,
I'll be wearing my new shoes! :)
 
Now I'm making a camera bag to match!
 
My next pair are going to be "Going Junking" ....
I'm addicted lol!
 
How can you not just love them!
 
Thanks for stopping by!
 
Love, Hugs, and Blessings!
