My Treasure Chest

I've always been a fan of "Old" things. Vintage, Antique, or just a little worn, I love it all. So as you can imagine, I fell in love with this trunk at first site. 

Isn't it beautiful! The woman who sold it to me said it was her son's toy box for years, filled with He-man and Ninja Turtles. You know this thing has been loved.  lol

I think that's what draws me to things that are a little rough around the edges, they have stories and character, and that's not something you can buy at the mall, trust me I've looked.

I'm so excited to have this beautiful piece home with me. I love all of its scuffs and marks. 

Every detail about it is intriguing and wonderful. 

 I look forward to adding to its stories and character as it will add to mine <3

I collect antiques. Why? Because they're beautiful.

A Touch of Whimsy

I Heart Faces is having their weekly photo contest, and this weeks theme is Whimsical.

I love everything about this photo, the lighting, makeup, and of course it's Whimsy! <3

Fix it Friday

I recently joined an online photo-community, I Heart Faces, and I am super excited about it!
One of the things the do is a weekly "Fix it Friday" where they post a photo and have everyone take a shot at editing it. Its a fun way to share editing techniques, and see how everyone approaches a photo in a different way.

This is the original photo for this week, what a cute little girl!

This is my final edit, I chose to go for a bit of an aged look to the photo, feeling that it fit with the wardrobe as well as my style. 

For any fellow photographers I definitely would recommend checking out I Heart Faces, you have the opportunity to connect with other photographers and take part in fun activities, who doesn't like that!
