Diana Mini!

Saturday morning was so exciting - I love waiting for post to arrive. Before I hit 'Buy Now' on ebay (oops) I read a few reviews of the Diani mini saying that it a bit flimsy and the book was a waste of money but I thought it was a really solid, beautiful little camera and the packaging and the book are wonderful - I love flicking through all the photos - the page is above is my absolute favourite!

Unfortunately I haven't taken any photos with Dee Dee yet
(what do you think... Dee Dee and Helga has a nice ring right?)
instead we took Helga out to play so I could finish the last roll
from Wales in time for the photo swap!

My collection of cameras on top of the mantlepiece is now my favourite place in the house, yeay!

A few random things...

I hate thinking up good post titles...

I hope I never get bored of taking photos of our feet...

The kitten down the road snuck into our house yesterday...

We put it back outside after it fully explored our front room and got stuck behind the sofa (hehe)

We then watched it learning how to jump and climb outside....

We might have eaten half a tub of Ben and Jerry's Half Baked icecream in one sitting, oops.

I might have kicked leaves along the path on our mini adventure yesterday...

Boyfriend looked at me disapprovingly... before joining in, haha.

oh and...

The lovely* Cassie from Hydrangeas and White Daisies is having a giveaway to celebrate her wonderful* new etsy shop.

The photo swap is now closed and I am currently in the process of pairing people together! Wooo!

*and I love positive adjectives...

Autumn letters...

( So I've been trying to resist doing a little letters post but I think now is the time!)

Dear yellow leaves,

You are my favourite, I'll try not to take too many photos of you but I can't promise anything.

Dear polaroid cameras,

I think I'm am going to have to buy one of you soon, I'm not sure how much longer I can wait.

Dear little kitten down the road,

I'm so sorry the children you live with are mean - we both wish we could look after you.

Dear Glee,

Where was Emma this week? I still love you though don't worry...

Dear Wordpress and Etsy,

I will figure you out and we will be friends.
