My fun finds on Ebay!

Like I said before, I'm heading to the west coast to see my BFF next week! I'm so excited! Neither of us have much money, but together we got the money to buy my plane ticket to see her. She's getting married next year and I will be the Maid of Honor! This trip we are just going to spend time together planning aspects of her wedding and also designing her invitations. I can't wait to see what we come up with :)

In an attempt to gather some money for us to be able to do some fun things, I've listed some of my estate sale finds on here on Ebay!

I have my first piece of vintage luggage for sale along with lots of vintage linens!! Don't forget to check out the old postcards!!

I'm pretty proud of the Samsonite Luggage! I found this at estate sale years ago and I've been waiting to do something with it. I found some authentic vintage luggage stickers on ebay and adorned this beauty with them!!

and fun vintage crochet, lace and doilies!

Clicking on the images will take you right to the auction for that item :)

EEEE! My photo was featured in a blog?!

I'm so excited!! Kimberly over at Kimberose Photography & Along A Road Less Traveled featured one of my photos in her Treasury Tuesday post and Etsy Treasury!

This is the first time I've been featured anywhere, and I'm pretty pumped! I haven't sold any of my photos yet, but I'm keeping the faith. :)

I will be heading to the west coast next week and will be on a mission to take as many beautiful photos as I can. Stay tuned to see that west coast beauty!!

Fruity Photography

For as long as I can remember I've loved to take photographs. Around age 7 or 8, I got my first 110 camera. I would use my allowance every week to buy more film and have prints made at our local grocery store. I went on to take several traditional photography classes while going to school for my Associates Degree in Graphic Design. I loved everything about it! I loved learning about aperture, shutter speeds, light and shadow, film speed, everything! Understanding how the film is used to photograph, then developed to create negatives and then printed into positive was a magical process for me! :)

I've since moved on to digital photography and shoot with a Canon Xti. I sincerely believe my training in traditional photography has benefited me greatly! I urge anyone getting into photography to learn the traditional basics. Learn to know what you are doing, and why you are doing it will put you above the rest!

I've done a few weddings and a some senior pictures. I actually have senior photos and a wedding to shoot next weekend! :) I never really thought about selling my nature and landscape photos online until I saw some awesome photographers on etsy. I thought, "Hey, I can do that!".

So for my first shot at this, I listed these 5 pictures from my recent walks through the apple orchard. You can find them here on etsy!

What do you think? ;)

I love the Sunday Snapshot @ Ni Hao Y'all!! Check out her lovely blog here!
