Meet my new baby, Olympus Ecru film camera. I've been wanting this loveliness since a friend of mine introduced it to me a few years ago. The last two photos were taken by
her with her Ecru. They're limited edition cameras from 1991—that's considered vintage, right? So, this weekend I'll be fidgeting around with it. Do you have any fun plans for Easter?
Other happy finds :
+ Let's start drawing everyday via
Show & Tell.
+ Daydreaming about this home via
Chairsmith.
+ Beautiful photos of a florist from
A Happy Day.
Alright, have a fantastic weekend, my vintage vultures!

ReplyDelete@ Cassie Haha...we sure will. Thank you!
@ Angie I'm not sure where that egg dish is from. I'll have to ask my friend Cindy.
@ Crystal I think it'll be a fun exercise. I miss drawing. I think you should totally do it! Plus, we can blog about it too!
@ Anonymous Oh, you're welcome. Thanks for stopping by. See ya around!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful camera, i'll keep an eye out on ebay!
ReplyDeleteYes it would be good to have something automatic to blog about... I'm thinking very favorably toward it.
ReplyDeleteAlso that camera? Too cool for school. LOVE it!
Oh so cute! Good lord, '91 was 20 years ago...so I suppose that counts! :) Looking forward to the results. My parents 30th is Monday, so they're out of town, so I'm going to have Easter dinner with my BFFs family and hopefully get some decent photos of them while I'm there. :)
ReplyDeleteThat house you've been daydreaming about is for sale ..... come on, move to England!!

@ Katie Yea, keep an eye out for them! The ones on there right now are ridiculously priced, but a good one will pop up from time to time. Good luck!
ReplyDelete@ Crystal Too cool indeed!
@ Trude I can't believe it either, the 90s seems just like yesterday. Wow, 30th! That's amazing. Congratulations to both of them! Have a fab Easter dinner!
@ Chairsmith Oh, snap! I need to hurry and make an offer then! I really do wanna come to England though. All my favorite bloggers are concentrated on your side of the pond.
@ Jennifer It's so sexy, I'm thinking I should wear it around at all times. It's my new accessories. My friend Cindy pretty does the same too. It's a camera necklace. Have a beautiful weekend with your lovelies. I can't wait to see you soon!
Great new find! Love the color. I hope you find more treasures this weekend. All I got so far are books...but one of them is the Jackie Onassis Sotheby's catalog (it's big!). Sometimes I wonder who the heck gets rid of all this cool stuff!?! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteHow can you get all those beautiful and unusual (to me it is unusual) cameras? How can you find it!?
ReplyDeleteReally envy you. Sigh~
gosh, how gorgeous is that camera? love it. for this weekend, i rented the canon 35mm/1.4, so i'll definitely be playing around with that. happy friday!
ReplyDelete@ Allan I often wonder about that too and I think that's one of the reasons why I love thrifting so much, is to conjure up stories of their past. Happy thrifty easter earth day weekend to you!
ReplyDelete@ Esther To be honest, they kinda find me. Thrifting is great for finding things you've never ever seen before. Thanks for stopping by and happy weekend to you!
@ Jacqueline Oh, let me know how that goes. i'm shopping for a new lens. Have fun!
beautiful camera, beautiful shots!
ReplyDelete@ MundoCaco Thank you! I just took this camera out for a spin so I hope the photos turn out alright. I'll show them tomorrow. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
ReplyDeletei'm so envious of your camera thrifting luck/skill. good to know these babies are finding a good home <3
ReplyDelete@ Nicole I'm waiting for that day when I pop open a bag in a thrift store and find myself a sweet Leica. Sighs, that would be the ultimate find. I hope all is well with you! How you doing and what you been up to?
ReplyDeleteAh! Thanks for the shout out :) I can't wait to see who participates in the 30 day drawing challenge!
