Polaroids from the weekend...

First, I have to say that it was an absolute delight having Zoe from Ladybird Likes visit us for the weekend and even more fun helping her out with her stall on Saturday. I love it when you meet a blogger in real life and they are even nicer and lovelier in person. Also she took me for a Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate in Starbucks straight away which totally won me over :)

Knowing that I had 13 films to develop from Whitby, I originally didn't plan to take any cameras on Saturday with me (gasp) but I realised I still had half a film in my Yashica Samurai, so I had to take that (obviously) and then I remembered that I still had film for my 340 Polaroid camera too (hurray), so in the end I had a lot of fun taking photos.

Unfortunately, and really it pains me to say it, I still haven't had much luck with this Fuji FP-100C film. I did a bit of research today and I think that despite leaving it for 5 minutes that I needed to leave it for much longer, so next time, I'll just have to be really patient. If I can. I ended up editing these to make them brighter.

But how amazing does Zoe's stand look. You should check out her shop. Seriously, her items are perfect and so well made, I saw at least 10 I wanted and I know that when Zoe announces her new range very soon (I got a sneak peak, its amazing) you will all love it!

p.s. I'm getting the 14 films developed today and although my purse is crying (just a little) my heart is very happy, I can't wait to see the results, woohoo!!!!

The first photoswap photos...

Sometimes I doubt why I put the photoswap together each year - I'm not the most organised person and on top of that, every year someone gets disappointed by either the mail or their partner and waiting for the films to be sent often the most tense part for me... but then the photos start to appear in the Flickr group and my heart skips a little beat and I remember exactly why I put the swap on.

So here are some photos from the swap so far that make my heart skip and remind me of the excitement and joy of film.

Eep, that face! Photo taken by Clio and sent to Amy.

I love these colours! Photo taken by Michelle and sent to Kelly Ann

The light is so pretty! Photo taken by Jazzy and sent to Nadine

So simple and stunning! Photo taken by Kelly Ann and sent to Michelle

There are many more photos in the Flickr group and I've loved looking through them all, I think that I get just as excited when they start to appear as the swappers involved :)

Reetsweet at the Corn Exchange!

If you're in Leeds tomorrow come and say hi to both Zoe and I (I'll be around with my camera(s) I'm sure) and treat yourself to some amazing crafts!!

Have a great weekend x

Hello Autumn...

As I walked down the hill to work today, I finally started to see evidence that it was Autumn, the air was crisp, the sun was low and glowing across the fields... and as I walked along my own photos started to flash in my head. I can't think of any times this has happened before, but once I started to think about it, the more I wanted to see more of my Autumn photos, so here are some of my favourites from the past few years.

I guess thats probably enough photos... I should really get those films developed so I have something new to share soon :)
