Wanted: Polaroid Instant Camera.


I'm on a quest for a Polaroid Instant Camera. If you happen to have one that you do not use, I would love to take it off your hands!

Because there are not enough sweater vests in music videos.

In February three of my best friends and I spent a weekend together in Chicago. Whilst perusing secondhand shops on Belmont Avenue we happened upon a rack of sweater vests at Ragstock. Taken by the rack's wry charm, we resolved to each get one to commemorate our weekend together. Unaware of the irresistible creative powers these small vests held, we tried them on that evening...

Arts & crafts.

My label maker came in today. I ordered a manual, old-fashioned label maker through Countywide Office Supply on the Square. I've wanted one for months to use in my art & crafts. I like trying to find things secondhand first, just to avoid the unnecessary use of new resources. I bid on a couple label makers on Ebay, asked for one on Freecycle, and browsed the local thrift store multiple times, all to no avail. So, my next choice, after secondhand, is to support local business. Countywide didn't have any in stock, but they were happy to order it for me.

On the same trip to go pick it up, I got Keith a little memo pad that he had mentioned wanting to get. When I got home I promptly opened my new label maker & decorated the new memo pad.









My next order of business was to add the text to this drawing I had made of Keith.













I've found these two wood art gems at thrift stores. The one to the left has the definition of faith and has been a huge encouragement to me as I wait in faith.

I like the counsel in this one on the right to be still & listen.
