Forgotten Photos: Beautiful light...

Whilst I'm away for the week with my family (eep) I'll have some scheduled 'forgotten photos' post - I always love going back through my photos for these posts and I'm always surprised of the photos that I haven't shared on here too. Enjoy!

I'm pretty sure I will never get tired of this building...

p.s. Comments are on but I may not get back to everyone until next week, I'll definitely get back to you though don't worry :)

Merry Christmas!!

So I know I'm a little early in wishing a Merry Christmas, but I've been so busy this week that I haven't blogged once, and I can imagine that's going to continue until Friday and then, its celebration time!!

I am so excited about the holidays, I'm going to take a small break from here (and maybe the whole of the internet) for a while and relax, eat, drink and be merry! I'm also going to take a lot of photos. I haven't taken any recently (stupid Winter) and my heart is aching to take some... so hopefully in the new year I'll have something new to share, and also my word for 2013 and probably a recap of 2012 as well... why not :)

Anyway, I hope that you all have an amazing Christmas, full of cheer and merriness and wonderful New Year.

See you in 2013!!

p.s. I shared an early christmas gift here a few days ago so if you missed it, please check it out.

Reetsweet at the Corn Exchange

In October I spent the day with Zoe at the Reetsweet Autumn Fair in the Corn Exchange in Leeds. As we were there all day,I took it as a opportunity to practice populating my photos and to try and document the lovely light and atmosphere that the Reetsweet fairs have.

Tomorrow the Reetsweet Christmas Fair is being held at the Corn Exchange and I'm really looking forward to wandering around and probably buying some christmas gifts too. If you live in Leeds I highly recommend a visit.

Also this weekend our christmas tree is going up and I am EXCITED. I love Christmas, woohoo! Have a great weekend :)

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!!!!
