Photos, Photos, Photos

My 222 photos arrived yesterday morning! It's so much better than just seeing them on a computer screen, I love it. I spent quite a lot of the day writing on the back of them and then putting them in photo albums and then going to the charity shop to buy 2 more photo albums because I ran out of spaces.
Now I need to get the disposable that's been floating around forever developed, and finish a film that's in my old camera and get that developed, and use my new SLR's and get them developed.
So many photos!

Looking forward to a day of drawing and then seeing mum and dad for the first time since their holiday. It'll be nice after a tiring long weekend at work to actually do some art and see all the photos that mum and dad took in Cyprus.
Excited!

p.s. if you like alien ant farm or philosophy I'm making funds by selling some bits I don't want on eBay. I have a pile of stuff but going through it gradually so as to not get overloaded with eBay things to sort out.

Postcards, Posters and Oh Comely!

Yesterday morning I received two postcards from Mum and Dad. I love getting post. I'm amazed the postcards arrived before they got home, even if it was the same day.

Last night I finally hung the Quilts poster Will got me at the V&A.
It's so pretty!

This is also pretty:

The first issue of Oh Comely! magazine.
I love love love it.
It's almost perfect. (I don't listen to the sort of music that things like this do but the interviews and photos are still good to browse and there's plenty of non music stuff in there anyway)
They give everything it's own space, it's beautifully laid out and full of such pretty things.
Love.

Also, I put some more things on my Etsy yesterday and added new photos to the screenprinted tote bags so go have a look :)

An Adventure to Norfolk

It was Will's Grandad's 60th birthday on Sunday and so we went to Norfolk for the weekend.
On the Saturday we got our trains to Norwich and there was a massive dinner with about 36 people which was really good. I didn't know who most of them were but it went quite well considering I'm socially inept around people I don't know. I even spoke to someone about wildlife photography and printers, imagine that.
When we got back to his Nan and Grandad's house I ended up with 2, yes 2, 35mm SLR cameras!! One donated from Will's Nan (a Praktica MTL5B) and one from his Uncle (a Minolta Dynax 500si). Both were going to be thrown away/given to a charity shop. I'm amazed by them. Gloria even gave me a roll of film so all I need is to find the right battery. I'm so excited to try them out.
Then on Sunday there was a massive BBQ and then we came home in the evening.
I only took 3 photos which is shameful but nevermind.

Before the BBQ Will took me and Holly (his Mum's dog) for a walk round the site (they live/work on a chicken farm).
That is when I took my 3 photos.

(This is Holly, she's lovely and every now and then she runs like a crazy. It's awesome.)

This is at the bottom of their land. It was a bit dry on Sunday but there were Coots living on it anyway.
I'm always amazed and jealous by how much space they have.
