I’ve been working on gradually updating my Etsy shop. Here are a few recent additions that I am excited about. I can’t wait to share more treasures with you soon!
Vintage Scale
This vintage family scale was given to me by a friend when we still lived in Colorado, but unfortunately, has had a home in my cupboard almost ever since. My house has very little counter space, and I haven’t had a place to display it. The scale was manufactured sometime around the turn of the twentieth century and is full of history. Best of all, like so many well-made vintage items, it still works!
"Away We Go" Scrapbook Appliques
I had so much fun making these “Away We Go” scrapbook appliques! I made one first for myself (as personal inspiration and motivation to get started on a long-overdue scrapbook), and since I had so much extra leftover, I made a few for the shop as well.
Vintage SX-70 Rainbow Camera
Last but not least, another vintage SX-70 rainbow camera that I found at my new-favorite thrift store. I received my order of Share the Love film yesterday (yay!), and I have an ND filter on its way so I can test this camera out. It looks to be in even better condition than the last one (with the manual, case, & everything!), so I am really excited about it. Can’t wait!

I just received an email from Polapremium that their Share the Love promotion is back! Prices are a bit higher this time due to a change in the exchange rate, but not by much. Last time I didn’t order any film and regretted it since it is so hard to come by now, so this time I splurged and ordered two packs (one for the month of August, and one for the month of September).The film is 779 film and works just like 600 film. I haven’t tried it, but you should also be able to use it in SX-70 cameras with an ND filter.
If you’d like to be added to the mailing list for Polapremium, email me (dee dot wilcox at mac dot com), and I’ll add you! Then if you decide to order anything from their shop, we both get a discount.

1 CommentSummer Garden Update
I spent this morning (before coffee!) in the garden, watering, taking pictures, and throwing the big purple ball for Annie. Time for a little update! This is my original herb garden. I have onion chives in the back, sage in the front, and Provence lavender in the front right. I’m planning to add the rosemary...

No CommentsGreen Beans!
Today has been a chill day at home. I skipped breakfast in favor of coffee and finishing a friend’s blog and then went all out for lunch. We made lemon pepper chicken with brown rice, roasted home-grown green beans, and crostini made with sungold tomatoes, homemade wheat French bread, fresh parsley, olive oil, and feta...

6 CommentsThe Julie/Julia Project
I’m on vacation this week and selected a book I’ve been meaning to read for quite some time as my “beach read.” I picked up Julie & Julia by Julie Powell on Friday night and finished it by Monday night, it was that good. One of the most authentic and open-hearted memoir-style books I’ve read...

No CommentsNow on Etsy!
I love shopping for vintage books and treasures, looking for that perfect collectible find, but I often come home with more than my home can hold, or I am constantly shifting out old items with new treasures. For example, I found not one, but TWO vintage typewriters that I “had to have,” but I only...

No CommentsQuiet
This weekend Chris and I are photographing our friends Aaron and Lane for their wedding weekend. Or I should say, Chris is photographing, and I am gear-watching and errand-running. We’re at Mount Magazine, and it is absolutely beautiful here. I woke up before the sunrise, when typically Annie and Sydney would wake me up. They’re...

No CommentsHere We Go Again
Annie is nesting a lot in our office closet. She did this about a year ago – maybe a little longer, and it was a false pregnancy. This time, if we buy her little stuffed animal “babies,” I think Sydney will chew them up. What to do? Problem Numero Dos: The office closet now has...

No CommentsSeeing Color
For the last great while, everything I’ve designed or decorated or made at home has had a very neutral theme. I’ve painted my living room six times, but they were all shades of brown, gray, or beige. I am really happy with the current buttercream color. Even though it’s stilly technically a shade of beige,...
