Vintage View & Something New

Meet my new buddy.



He doesn't have a name yet.

But I think he is definitely a boy.

(he has lots of dirt in his lens...)


See what I mean?

Love his dirty lens.  


I adore how he makes everything scream vintage.

These are just my first two trial shots of working with TTV...

(Through the Viewfinder)

on my new/old little boy.



He's about 70 years old or so and still has his charm and good looks.

Wouldn't you say so?


On a different note...

I'm glad I was inside when I took this picture of a neighbor's squirrel.

He really looks like he wants to attack me for taking his photograph...



I've been busy as a bee working on my brand new Etsy store (and dodging angry squirrels).

Stay tuned for my first ever giveaway.

It's going to be a good one with items from fellow Etsy shop owners,

and of course some of my new photos!!

SO in the meantime...  if you have a moment.

Won't you please stop by my new store, While Wandering, and have a look around?

I'm serving Starbucks and cupcakes to everyone who visits...  

Have a lovely Monday!!

Oh Bonnie. I didn't know you were starting a new venture. How exciting! As soon as I finish here, I'm going to check out your etsy store. I know it's going to be full of temptation! I have to tell you, I adore the pictures you've taken with this dirty lens. A lot of people are currently spending a lot of editing time using textures in order to achieve this very look! Wow. I know I've told you before, but I do truly love your blog. Okay ... heading on over to your store. Hugs ....
