Retro Camera App

On my phone, I have an application called Retro Camera. It has about 5 different  old cameras on it including The Bärbl (1951), Little Orange Box (1976), Xolaroid (1972), Pinhole Camera (very vintage), and FudgeCan (1961). Its really a fun App. Here are some sample pictures I took of some roses (and my dog Benny) in my yard. Quite beautiful if I do say so myself...

MY FAVORITE! It looks like a heart in the middle!

MY OTHER FAVORITE!

Vintage Barbies

I so soooo excited when my grandmother told be she had a big bin full of all her toys when she was a kid. So for the first "Grandma's Toys" post, here are her Barbies. When Barbie was truly a modest young lady.

Cleaning and Finding!

My grandma is organizing her sewing room and finding some awesome things. She comes down the stair constantly with an assortment of vintage treasures either she had or my great grandmother. I took pictures of some of the things. She used to use the Grist button hole machine all the time. Enjoy the pictures. Soon, I will be posting pictures of another 1950s dress I made for Christmas last year. Also, I'm so excited!! My new patterns came. I'm just having trouble deciding which one I should make first. Until next post!

Grandma's Antiques

From Buttons to jewelry, to memories, grandma shares it all!

Cute engraved locket my grandmother got from her father

Beatles photo album necklace. I found this in her jewelry box and thought it was SO cute! She said she wore it everyday in junior high and showed everybody! It has pictures on both sides of the fold out. There are group pictures and an individual picture of all the Beatles.

My grandmother's Holly Hobby watch. It's so cute. I've researched them and can only find one other on ebay like it.

Grandma's fancy buttons

COMING SOON: vintage buttons, old Greist sewing machine attachments, and some gloves I thrifted

1950 Easter Dress Finished!

My mom braided my hair and stuck in the pearl bobby pins I made.

Cool retro effect on photoshop... interesting, I thought...

I got sooooooo many compliments on my dress, hair, and gloves at church today. Some were weird like "You like like your from the Jetsons TV show and others about how gorgeous it was. Most couldn't believe I sewed it. Happy Easter!
