{ Escape }

This blog is my escape. I can do anything, say whatever and go anywhere. And after another rough day at work { who wants to hire me as their personal photographer so I can get out of this place? } I need a real escape. A serious escape. A leave all my troubles behind escape.

It may just be me but it seems as if everyone in the blogging world is talking about Paris these days and It's really starting to rub off on me. I can't think of a more beautiful, calming place to escape. Here are just a few things I want to see, taste, feel while on my imaginary Parisian holiday...come away with me.

Vintage Photos Continued { Mom }

She's going to kill me...

My Mom is hands down my best friend - I think everyone knows this about me. I can't imagine that will ever change. I'm almost 30 years old and still consult my Mom before nearly every decision I make.

As I get older I realize I'm becoming more and more like her and that is a HUGE and AWESOME thing to me. Most people dread turning into their mothers and I always wished it would happen to me.

However one thing we do not have in common is our appearance. With dark hair, skin and eyes and her perfect little nose she is practically my polar opposite. Though I think we have a similar smile which is good enough for me.

Here are a few "oldish" photos of my hippie, flower child, Christmas Princess, tomboy, best friend and MOM.



Love you MOM :) XOXO

Stay tuned for my last installment of vintage photos...ME

{ Vintage } Photos: Gran

To continue my little series of old family photos here is my Gran as a little girl.

(I just love this last one of her hanging clothes on the line...too cute)



And here she is breakin hearts as a young woman...

And now you know where I got my pale skin :)

Pola { DROID }

Most of you have heard of this by now - but if not- go here. It will become an obsession - don't say I didn't warn you!

And just because it is SO much fun, I've decided to take a Poladroid a day throughout the week for my 365.

Yesterdays shot:

To see more check out my Not Quite A Polaroid set.

Once I've accumulated a large enough collection I hope to print them out and do a little somethin somethin like this

{ Vintage } Photos

It seems like there's a real vintage trend going on in the photography world. What's old is new again, I guess. Not sure about you - but sometimes I spend hours making a digital photo look like it was taken 30 years ago on film and run through the washing machine several hundred times.

So you can imagine my delight when my Mom sent some old family photos. The ones above and below are of my Grandpa {Mom's Dad} when he was in the Air Force. I have some of my Gran, some of my Mom (she was such a hottie!) and some of little me (an early 80s child) that I will share a little later.





I love this one - It looks like a scene from South Pacific and they're about to break into a song and dance number...

Grandpa {Middle}

Grandpa {2nd from left}

Wasn't he the cutest?? He passed his gorgeous dark skin down to my Mom but it stopped there. I look nothing like either of them!

Stay tuned for lots more...

TTV: For Sale!

I've been playing around with TTV textures and stuff. I came up with a few creations that are available for purchase at my Etsy shop! You'll notice that I added a watermark signature to my images, this would not appear on your purchased print.

After this I promise I'll stop whoring out my Etsy shop...for a few days.






And thank you for all the lovely comments on my last post. Your positive feedback really keeps me going!
