JUNE 7TH'S ANTIQUE MALL FINDS

OLYMPUS TRIP 35 - introduced in 1967 and named after its intended use for picture takers and photographers alike who wanted something compact and functional for holidays. this retro 35mm camera is solar powered! that way, you could go on a cross-'Merica road trip and not have to worry about the battery dying on you mid shoot. no way!

turned this battered up peanut butter jar into a planter. also, have you ever thought about planting a cactus? ya, well I didn't either until today... you should try it sometime! ;)

 I plan to flip this 10 pound (legittt) flower holder and utilize it as a picture holder!

thanks strathcona antique mall! you served me well.

much love,

emily

in black + white

out of all the things you can do to alter a photograph, making them black + white is my true love and most prefered. desaturating can add mystery; forces you to imagine what it would look like in real life. the monochromatic colour palette adds simplicity and undeniable beauty to whatever may be in the frame, making it feel timeless.

i thought tarzan was nice. but i guess i thought wrong.

that’s a Kodak Brownie Hawkeye and flash holder, folks. from who knows when.   

i don’t drink rye but if i did, i’d drink it out of this exquisite bottle.

would i ever pass the salt and pepper if they were in these adorable things.

although such antique malls can be overwhelming, i thoroughly delighted in spending a couple of hours in this one.

love,

emily
