Camera related fun...

These lovelies I bought already in the spring, but forgot to show you :)

I mean, how could I resist? The kitchen towels are made of this soft flour sack material. I bought one for me and one for a friend. Of course it's far too petty to use for anything but to dry your hands :P
Etsy, naturally..

Last month I spent a day choosing and printing out photos as well as using a few old ones. Then framing and hanging up. I've been wanting to do something like this ever since we had our family pics taken. The frames are all Ribba ones from Ikea. I love how dimensional they are. I had four old ones that were wood colored, so out came the matte black spray paint.

They hang on our upstairs landing. I smile every time I see them.

I also stumbled across this idea somewhere online this summer. The lamp is a cheap one from Ikea. The negatives my Mom's old ones from the 50's. I came across a bunch of these old negatives and chose ones I either had the photo already, or ones that I felt I could spare. I've realized I cannot save everything. Using them is the next best option. They were Mod-podged onto the lamp.





Can't wait for the evenings to start getting darker so I can switch it on :)
