A, one of my best friends, made these adorable bracelets and bows for my friends and I for Christmas. I think that they are such a sweet addition to an outfit. I also am trying out my new camera for the first time. I just bought a Canon PowerShot SX30 IS, and I am in love. It is probably unhealthy for me to fall so in love with inanimate objects, such as Jeffrey Campbells, photographs, and cameras, but I can't help myself.
I went to the sweetest couple's house today. They are around 85 years old and so in love. The woman has a British accent, and she had me laughing so hard that I was crying. She was by far one of the funniest people I have ever met. The man was really sarcastic, and I loved it. He is the most knowledgeable photographer I have ever met, so I went over there to pick his brain for information the whole time. He kept telling his wife to be quiet, as she kept cracking jokes. They had me smiling the whole time, and it just reminded me of how important laughter is in life. They are in their 80's yet they are completely enjoying life to the fullest. It was a great start to my day, and I had so much fun learning about my new camera. I can't wait to start shooting some pictures and share them on here!
The first bracelet is absolutely adorable. It's a great and original idea for present. I love to make something myself for someone's birthday. It just makes it extra special ;).
ReplyDeleteThese are soo cute!!! Anything with bows, lace, pearls or buttons is just gorgeous! :) x
ReplyDeleteGosh! Both bracelets are super cute. Isn't it nice when someone can just brighten your day like that and make you smile.
ReplyDeleteThose are absolutely beautiful and I LOVE them. Are they for sale, she should open an etsy shop.

ReplyDeleteAh well I suggest you make time to head to Melbourne - although I was born in Sydney (now live in NZ), I prefer Melbourne. It's so easy to travel around, loads of trendy shops, hidden bars and galleries :)
Cute bracelets! My grandparents are like that too, though they're "only" at their 70s. It's so sweet to watch them argue like a young couple.

ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about the old couple, my wife and I always think it is so nice to see an older couple walking around in malls holding hand and being loving. It just shows you it is possible to grow old and still be madly in love.
Thanks for your lovely comment, have a great day.
