Around Town

I found this funny pumpkin patch this afternoon. The pumpkins were going for two for a dollar. What a bargain! Paying was on the honor system. So cute. I took these pictures with my Holga toy camera. I am still figuring out this camera. It is takes pretty dreamy pics but is very unpredictable. Some times the pictures are totally fuzzy, have light leaks, or black areas. But I guess that makes it kinda artsy. It is fun getting them developed and seeing how they turn out.





I took this one over the summer. I think its pretty. Maybe I will blow it up for over the sofa.

Around Town




The farmers' market is a frequent weekend destination for me. Even though I get most of my veggies from a local CSA, I still love to visit the farmers' market to take in the colors and commotion. There are some dang good food stands as well.

DIY

Shell Shadowbox

Well, I am slowly decorating our house bit by bit. I decided to frame my sea shell collection in a shadow box. By the way, it takes a lot of shells to fill up a small shadowbox. Also, it is very hard to control the finished product. It looks one way while it is flat but things shift around when hung on the wall. Overall, I think it is cute and goes with the other natural elements in the room. Eventually I would like to hang a small grouping of prints or paintings on this wall.
