Camera Collection Part II: Polaroid cameras

February 16, 2011 Rhianne

Way back in October 2009 I wrote my first letter to polaroid cameras, determined that I would buy one... and now I have 7, haha!!

Polaroid Land Camera 340 Automatic

(sent to me by the lovely Adeline. I could happily look at this camera all day!)

Polaroid Land Colorpack 80

Polaroid Land Colour Swinger

Polaroid 600 Extreme Cameras

Polaroid 636 & 635 Supercolor

The Supercolor was/is my parents polaroid camera and the only one I've actually tried film in but I was disappointed with my impossible project film results (they look nothing like that now!) so I don't think I'll be trying the others out anytime soon which is a shame...

Camera Collection Part I: Kodak Cameras...

February 15, 2011 Rhianne

I'll admit... I have a soft spot for Kodak cameras.

My first digital was a Kodak thinking about it... and so was my first vintage camera. I can't pinpoint why exactly... they just look so lovely, so classic, like they haven't aged at all.

I have more kodak cameras than any other and I fully intend on getting more, specifically one (or all) of these! (gosh aren't they pretty?!)

Six-20 Box Brownie Junior

Brownie Cresta II

Brownie 127

Kodak Autosnap Camera

Kodak Colorsnap Camera

Kodak Instamatics

None of my cameras are in perfect condition which honestly, I'm perfectly happy with. I love thinking about who may have used them, what caused the slight mark on the front, or where it was dropped to take a chunk out of it... I don't collect them seriously, I enjoy finding them in charity shops or for a great price on ebay and I have them where I can see them and enjoy them.

For Thomas...

As I mentioned before, Thomas and I don't really do anything for valentines day... so this is my little gift for him - he doesnt really look on my blog or ever at Etsy, so he probably won't see it but I think it's a pretty perfect selection for him :)

I was inspired by Diana's treasury For Him... and it was probably the fastest treasury that I've put together yet. Maybe Thomas isn't so difficult to buy for...

Can you guess some of his favourite things from this? I tried to include lots...though I'm pretty sure he'd prefer a real cat to a print.

Happy Valentines weekend lovelies, I hope you all do something amazing with someone (anyone) that you love, even if it is just making homemade pizza!!

p.s. you've seen the giveaway right? It ends soon!
