a few new things...

 Today was such a beautiful, sunny day here in Vancouver. I got a lot done and now I must make use of the rest of my week and head away on a mini vacation until Friday. In the meantime, I just wanted to give you a heads-up that the pendulum necklaces are being listed in the Sadie shop tonight. Each one is made of an amazing faceted quartz stone and vintage findings (brass chain, one of a kind vintage charms, and more). I'm going to keep adding things to the shop every day this week, so keep checking back. I'm excited to be incorporating this amazing lace tape that I found here in Vancouver into my packaging, too, so if you're ordering in May look out for it! I'll be back in a couple of days with lots of photos to share and some new jewelry, too.

weekend worship: fort langley adventures

Weekends like this one start to make me feel human again after a cold, rainy winter and living and breathing school for so long. Jeff and I drove out to the Fraser Valley this afternoon and went to the Fort Langley Antique Mall. The last time we were out there was with our very good friend Marigold. We spent hours out there with her that day, and I got an amazing photo for Jeff's birthday, but that was almost a year ago. Today we decided it was time to go back.

How beautiful is this part of the world? It's all river, mountain, ocean, and forest. I love it here and these early (in Canadian terms) spring days make all the overcast days seem so worth it. Below are a whole bunch of images of some of the treasures we found. We left empty handed but had ice cream before heading home. It was such a relaxing way to spend the afternoon. Oh, and if they still made the type of film that the KODAK Pony 828 camera requires I would have bought it in a second. It looked like it had a lot of potential, but, alas, 828 film is difficult to find. I've discovered that you can use 35mm film if you make some modifications but I need to do more research before going for it. I like to use my vintage cameras a lot and would love to add that one to the collection. I might stay on the lookout for the Pony 135, which would be a lot easier to find film for.

Oh yes! I'm going to host a giveaway here when I hit 150 followers, so look for that to happen soon, I hope! Have a lovely Sunday! It's my last day of vacation and I plan to celebrate with sleeping in, homework, and a guilty pleasure movie with friends!
