vintage polaroid

IMG_5874

So excited to finally share my newest addition to my collection of gadgets (and vintage goods for that matter!)
I used this beautiful vintage Polaroid Sx-70 for an early Valentine's Day breakfast with Edwin last weekend, snapshots of the polaroids we took shall come soon!

Edwin got this camera for me for Christmas a few months ago, and Valentine's Day I was finally able to take it out on the town :)

After asking him enough times, he revealed that he found it in a little antique shop in downtown Glendale, AZ. It came with a lovely (and original) leather Polaroid bag! Stocked with a macro lens, flash, flash diffuser, and an accessories holder.
He know's me so well, and remembered that I have been wanting some sort of instant
camera.

Part of the reason why it took me so long to finally use my new camera, is because film is very hard to come by and is usually pretty expensive. But luckily I finally found some beautiful new film by a company named The Impossible Project. The prints so far have come out great, and I can't wait to share more with you!
Here's some sample prints of the film I bought from Impossible's website:

The shades of color are so lush and pretty, definitely excited to get another set of film!

Did I also mention that it's a collapse-able camera?!
Love it.

christmas sneak peak

Christmas sneak peak
One of my favorite gifts I've gotten (for my loved ones) is this vintage Dooney&Burke wallet I just got in the mail for my lovely mother c/o Bumble E Buck on etsy.
I am so happy with this purchase, aside from a few tiny knicks, which is expected when you buy vintage, it feels like new and is going to go perfect with her many purses. I know she'll appreciate a good vintage find like I do.

Today I am going to take it easy, work on a holiday story for work, wrap some gifts, and enjoy the cloudy/rainy weather.
Our Christmas wreath on the front door and our lovely little tree inspired me today to get more in the spirit.
Only three more days til Christmas!
Happy Wednesday :)
