Flea Market Treasure

For months Colton and I have been wanting to experience the famed Rose Bowl flea market and yesterday, finally, we found a day to make it happen. We woke up early and stopped for coffee before making the 45 minute drive to Pasedena. We parked between rows of Uhauls and Penske trucks and felt inadequate walking through the entry gates without an oversized grocery cart. For hours we walked the rows upon rows of vintage and antique stuff. And when our feet grew tired and our minds were on trinket overload, we left, satisfied. But not before trying our hand at a barter. We eyed this old viewfinder camera on our first pass through the aisles and as we walked toward the car Colton suggested we pass the camera once more. I'm so glad we did because it happens to be quite charming and rather handsome nestled in the corner of my office. Reminding me of a time when taking pictures was a different ball game entirely.

Happy Monday, Michelle

Living Close to Oregon

Hi from 30,000 feet! (I’ve been dying to write that for months). I’m currently somewhere over the state of California en route to Oregon for a few weddings and portrait sessions. I love that I can leave on the 7am flight out of Orange County and be home with my parents by lunch. I’m excited to spend the next week and half visiting friends, frequenting coffee shops, and maybe even doing a little hiking. I’ll be blogging while I’m home – er, at my home away from home…my second home? Well, technically, my first home. You get the point.

And lastly, I realize this has been around for quite some time but it's amazing, right? That I'm browsing the Internet while flying through space?! Wild!

Happy Wednesday, Michelle
