Prayers Requested

This is my Cousin Sherry

She has been battling breast cancer since 2008.  The cancer has spread to her bones, liver, and recently to her brain. Today she learned her cancer is terminal, she only has 6 months to live. She is the bravest, strongest, most loving, caring person i know. Please, Please pray for her she is in unimaginable pain. Her little girl Brooke is only 9 years old.  I  know i will be reuinted in Heaven with Sherry again someday, but that will not cover the loss and lonliness Brook will feel. Please lift up Sherry and Brooke in your prayers.  And also pray that a cure for Cancer will be found.

Polaroid Style!

I love Polaroid photos! I found this sweet Polaroid 600 camera in the origional box at the thrift store the other day for $1.00! Sadly, in 2008 Polaroid quit making the film for the 600 cameras, prices for the film is outrageous on Amazon and Ebay, but...I was inquiring about it at Polaroid.com and they actually sent me this e-mail back: We were pleased to hear that the first newly produced Polaroid compatible instant films are becoming available. The Impossible Project has begun manufacture of films under the Polaroid license, and has film available for cameras that use Polaroid 600, SX-70, Spectra and Type 100 pack series films. They have also just released their newest film, TZ Artistic, which will provide color capability to your Polaroid Spectra/Image series camera.

If you need to stock up on film for your 600 Ploaroid camera, check out The Impossible Projects Website at:  http://www.the-impossible-project.com/

I can't wait to get my film and try out my new camera!

Recent thrift store finds!

My Love of Vintage Photos!

For several years now I have been collecting vintage photos from my very favorite decade, the 1940's , my sister thinks it's so weird, but i love everything about the 1940's. I wonder who they were?  What were their names? Are they still living? and most of all what were there stories? 

Rid-Jid Ironing Board

I bought an old Rid-Jid ironing board at Goodwill for $3.00 about a year ago, i finally got around to fixing her up! i still need to get some rust remover for a few areas, but she cleaned up nicely!

I purchased the polka dot ironing board cover and a new ironing boad pad from City Chic County Mouse on Etsy, they also have some pretty clothes pin bags i would like to have.
