:: Finders Keepers Markets ::

A little while ago Gracie and I went to the Finders Keepers Markets together. This was my second time at these markets and I loved them every bit as much as I did last time! I love the vintage-y, eclectic feel of these markets. There was so much amazing stuff on display!

Gracie and I had our photos taken at the photobooth! We had two photos - one with chalkboard caption speech bubbles and one with props. I took home the speech caption photo and Gracie took home the props photo - you can see those photos here.

The photographer also took a bunch of digital photos to put on their facebook page. This is one of the facebook photos (I look a little cross-eyed, haha!)

Gracie and I took a bunch of photos outside the museum, where they had a fabulous wall of amazing coloured flowers.

And of course, I couldn't resist buying some stationery.

What is your favourite thing to do at markets? It would seem that my favourite thing to do is spend money!!

I also took some cute photos of Gracie, but that's for another post!

:: Happy Mail Project - My Life in Lists ::

I love snail mail. I love blog swaps. I love lists. And I also love Micaela and her adorable blog. So, when I was paired up with Micaela for a 'My Life in Lists' swap I was super excited.

I filled out the pages of a journal with my lists! Here are a few of the things I put in the journal.

My favourite quotes.

My stationery must-haves.

My favourite sweet recipes.

My Summer 'To Do' list.

Things I Hope to Achieve in the Next Five Years.

Celebrity crushes!

And here's what Micaela sent me!

A playlist of her life. A lot of my favourite artists are on this CD. I'm looking forward to discovering some new favourite artists too!

Cute lists on the back of cute postcards!

Favourite books written on a book page. So creative!

A cute magnetic list pad which now sits on my fridge!

Micaela spoiled me with such an adorable package. I read each list and the letter she wrote about a hundred times! Thank you so much, Micaela!

In other news, I've been trying out a lens Mr LG gave me a little while ago. The photos of Micaela's package were taken with it. What do you think? I love the way my candelabra shimmers in the background of those photos!

:: Look Book - Bookfest ::

A little while ago Gracie and I went to the Lifeline Bookfest together. We both adore books, so soon our arms and bags were laden with pre-loved books of all shapes and sizes!

Gracie so graciously (see what I did there?) agreed to be my first Look Book model! I love Look Books, but since I prefer to be behind the camera I have decided to use my ridiculously good looking friend as models :)

:: Cardigan: Miss Shop / Dress/Top: Singapore (gift from sister-in-law) / Tights: Target / Earrings: Accessorize (gift from friend) / Necklace: Etsy (gift from me!) ::

I love the china plate pattern of her dress and the extra-long grandpa cardi! A perfect outfit to wear while searching for additions to your library!

:: Wedding Photography ::

Last month I was given the opportunity to be the second photographer for a wedding. I love weddings! I adore the love, warmth and emotions surrounding the day. I had such a great time capturing all those emotions. I'm really starting to think photography is where my heart lies.

I've been trying to learn how to use PhotoShop so I can make the most of my photos. My next step is to learn how to use Lightroom so I can edit my raw images.

Do any of you use PhotoShop or Lightroom? I only know the basics at the moment!
