a well-documented life




yet another glorious day in the realm of thrift.
1. polaroid 330 land camera! $3.97! and i can use fuji 100-C film for it! huzzah huzzuh huzzah! it also came with a really friggin' sweet carrying case that has a sort of cousin-of-paisley blue and green lining. yes on so many levels.
2. this is actually an old thrift find that i just recently remembered- it's a super 8 camera complete with instructions and a carrying case with a safari sticker on top. now i just need to find film for these two fine instruments. . .
3. two new mugs! i'm a total sucker for mugs. they're just so beautiful! i can't stop buying them! i think i'm going to start a 50 states mug collection and try to get a mug from each of america's fine states. . . i haven't started a new collection in a while. i think it's time.

i also bought a vintage coffee pot with gold starbursts on it that i indeed to plant something in. and tomorrow i'm going to back for a red vinyl top kinchette table. sooo beautiful! i would have bought it today but 1. i didn't have the van and 2. i needed to ask my grandpa if i could store it in his basement. i'm going to take it over to their (g-parents) house on wednesday then look for grandma's wedding dress in the basement and make them some homemade cinnamon rolls! twil be glorious indeed!

(sidenote: we were talking about it at dinner last night (flank steak, lima beans, corn on the cob, and cheesey potatoes = divineeee) and how cute would it be if my grandpa and i started a cupcake shop? answer: super cute. because dr. jesse weigel is a gem of a man. also at dinner: my grandma claimed her red nailpolish made her look like a 'tart' and proceeded to say, "i'm a tart-y lady." priceless.)

  1. Wow those cameras are siiiick.

    We found a really really old Polaroid camera at Salvation Army once but couldn't seem to find any Polaroid film that would fit. That or else we're just dumbies. So it could go either way.

  2. i love dr grandpa weigel.... he's a fellow red head.

    also... that polaroid camera... did u say u can use regular film in it??!!

    thirdly... u owning a cupcake shop means u should invest in buying that new coffee shop that used to be fissel thrift store. that would be glorious. and u can have bookshelves everywhere!

  4. I also have a super 8 camera. It's my stepdad's. All his home movies were filmed on it. It's so cool. We couldn't find a place that sold super 8 film though ;(
