365 Project- Day 5-6

Blogger was not being cooperative yesterday, so my post from yesterday is being posted today, along with Day 6.  So...

Day 5.  My holiday star candle holder thingy that hangs out on my front porch.  With this one, I was playing around with focus.

Day 6.  Taking advantage of having the holiday shrub up, I snapped some more photos of some favorite ornaments.  The owl is a particular favorite.

365 Project- Day 4

Playing with the timer on my camera... too bad I couldn't get my feet and my head all in the same shot. Still, it was interesting to see what popped up on the screen afterwards.

365 Project- Day 1

So my blog has (obviously) been much neglected of late, which is rather depressing when I have enough time to sit and think about it. Thus my desire to do a 365 photography project, in hopes of forcing myself to take creative time each day and, hopefully, increase my (very) amateur camera skills. Here goes, Day 1!

Two things: 1- hubby seems to have messed up the date thingy on the camera (unnoticed until photos were downloaded). This is 1-1-11, not 1-2. Said date thingy will likely be removed in future photos, as I find it distracting.  2- this was taken from a sitting position, while kiddo was banging his head on my chest in attempt to keep himself awake (he failed). So it isn't by any means what I would call a "good" picture.  Yet of all the photos I've taken today, this one calls to me.  The bright colors against the pale backdrop and the blur as if the butterflies really are flying.  So, for what it's worth, Photo 1.

A Quick Post

To all those who still take the time to read my rather neglected blog... thank you.  I am trying to update myself on all of your blogs by simply going down the list, trying to get to one or two a day.  Nobody has been forgotten, and I'm finding more wonderful blogs to attempt to keep up with every day.  So if you haven't heard from me in a while, be patient, I'll get to you soon!

And because every post needs pictures and I'm too frazzled to think of a Tuesday's Treasure, instead I leave you with some of my current Anthropologie favorites.

First, some fun wall letters!  They're supposedly for a child's room, but they could go anywhere (well, in my house they could).

This next is a beautiful, flowing blouse that would fit nicely into my closet.

And because I am all about comfort over style, this little chemise really spoke to me that hey, I could have both!

An Awesome Find

Yesterday afternoon was spent in my favorite antique store with Kiddo and my wonderful mother-in-law.  We browsed for hours, delighting over the always unique finds that neither of us could afford.  One of the booths keeps second hand pieces of fashion (and i use this term lightly), although many items still have their original tags attached and are essentially brand new.  And it was here that I found the most amazing article of clothing that I've seen in a long time...

a lime green, swede cloak.  With fringe, no less.  It's perfect. It screamed my name.  And it happily hangs on my door, waiting for our first outing together. 

Now, I'm not a cowgirl, so I typically avoid fringe at all cost, but this was too good to pass up.

The color of this photo is off, but I love the detailing of the clasps.  Simple and elegant.

What did you do this weekend?  Did you have any amazing finds?
