I've been looking for a brownie camera ever since I heard that my grandma took pictures with one. I'd stumble across one at an antique store or a second hand shop every once in a while, but they were always kind of pricey for me...but one fine day I decided not to get a diet coke & fruit snacks from the vending machine at work & lo & behold, I come across a yard sale (on a friday afternoon at 3:00?!) & the first thing I see is this beauty for the same price as those fruit snacks & diet coke. SUCCESS! & As much as I would love to use it, the guy at West Side Camera pretty much convinced me I'd have an easier time going to Mordoor than to come across 620 film, load it & use it. I think it's do-able, though, I'll keep my eyes open.
Besides the camera, I also got this pink dress & the white belt in the picture above for just 1.5o! & although you can't see it very well, I'm also wearing a pink & blue scarf that I got from a cute old lady's yard sale for .50! yayyy.

Meet Maddie Rupke! Maddie is the winner of Annie Laurie's (the best antique store in Cape Girardeau, if not the world) Top Model contest. She is a total sweetheart--really down to earth & just effortlessly gorgeous. Here are some photos from our photoshoot the other day. 
I've been wanting a pair of rollerskates for the longest time and I finally found a pair at Salvation Army for 2$, hiding under a million helmets and a bowling ball. They were pretty gross before I cleaned them up, but after cleaning them up & putting on some new laces I think they look quite nice! :D I am the most akward, slow skater ever, unfortunately.
