ENJOY

This is a BOLS Ballerina Music Box Bottle. It's still sealed with the original liquor & has gold flakes floating around inside. It still works too. My mother found and bought it for my sister. If you do a search on eBay, It's probably worth around $65 or more. She dances around while the gold flakes float around inside. A performance to enjoy!

I almost forgot again! 

Actually had been thinking about taking my shot all day, and when I really think about it, it's even harder to pick one thing to take a photo of. So, tonight after rushing around to do all the things that this manic mommy had to do for her family, it was me time. I squeezed just about every minute out of my night. — Dinner for me & my husband, Dinner for the 4YO, Cleaned up dishes, Classwork (my son's), and a bit of folding laundry. 8pm rolled around and that brings the Biggest Loser, which in my home means it's time to workout (cardio) and then #tworkout with Shrinking Jeans on twitter, Sitting down for about 45 minutes, then it's time to prep for the next day's coffee, prepping lunch and finally the end being a shower at 11:30pm. I finally sat down to go to sleep and realized that I had not taken my photo yet. So, tonight's photo is really late - and taken at 12:13am - Wednesday. OOPS!! I'm still saying it's Tuesday's photo, by default (cause I hadn't gone to sleep yet) 


This photo of my new kicks was taken with my iPhone using the Retro Camera app. It's The Little Orange Box camera and using the Black & White setting. I am really enjoying the different options that it has in this app, but really wish that the photos would carry the settings. I get confused which camera does what after I have taken the photo. (the app has all the info before you take the photo - not after)

Got $1000.00?

A Saturday in Dover is not complete without a stop into Spence's Bazaar.  

The main building has changed a lot since the years I lived in Dover, but it's still a great place to visit if you have time to wander around, if you are looking for some antiques, looking for fresh veggies, or even looking for some cheap finds. 

We stopped in for a bit and I had a blast snapping shots. The first two are some bargain buys (kidding). If you have a Grand (if you search online, I think that's a bit steep) burning a hole in your pocket and you're a fan of Howdy Doody, you'll be wanting this cookie jar! 

The second shot you have to look carefully in the background. Yes, It's a Yellow Submarine Cookie Jar.

The guy said he had no idea what it would sell for, but it was also signed. Hmm, any takers? - I think you'd have to take this or this to him, cause it's fairly new according to what I can find. Thinking he doesn't know too much about what he is selling, or he needs to be more educated on what he has.

After the rain stopped, we just played outside with the neighbors. Look at the blue eye on this cutie pie!

And since it is race weekend in Dover, we HAD to find a race car that my son could check out. Especially when he saw the drivers being interviewed with Dover International Speedway signs behind him and told me "Mom, we have to go see them!" 

The best we could do was try the mall to see a Kyle Bush car #18. It's a car that my son has in his hot wheel collection. He was really excited. As we drove to the mall, sitting in traffic passing the race track, they must have been cleaning up from the crash at the end. It was super quiet. Not normal! Look at the last shot. We walked out the mall doors to the back and he got his first taste of the sound of the race cars!

I feel like I need to explain more about this photo. It was post-processed with the Pretty Presets - Pretty Girl Lightroom action and nothing else. I feel like there are some photographers that prefer adding in texture later, but I did not use any layering for this photograph.
