Things on digital and not my heirloom!

So when I can't get a good film picture or I'm just terribly impatient I get a quick fix from the digital camera I have laying around (thanks Derek!)  anyway, I've been meaning to post about a few neat things!

First, Skoticus sent me a link regarding a teleidoscope and the cool things you can do with it and a digital camera. I had no idea where to find a teleidoscope but about 2 months later, I found one at old navy for .75 cents!! YES PLEASE! here are the results!

Pretty neat huh? Just like any other cheap toy though I lost it somewhere in the vicinity of my room...

For my birthday we made freezer paper shirts and I made one for my Andrew and one for Rob!


Robs death star! I was crafty and carefully splattered white paint to make it look like little lights.

 Andrew's cool cassette tape! It's really cool in real life 'cause it's 2 different colors.

Now for the SWEET FIND~

Today while running an errand for our secretary at work I found out that one of my precious clients likes yard sales! So we stopped so we could look around and I found these vintage platters for 2 bucks...

Anyone who knows me knows that I like OLD things and the older the better!

Hand painted wood platters from Hawaii made around the mid 1950's? Maybe 60's

My weakness's are little note cards, kisses from Andrew, and old platters. SERIOUSLY!

These platters came with a story too, heirloom to another family these were precious to a wife whose husband had served in Hawaii, her daughter (now in late 50's) said she used them all the time. They were always filled with crackers or little candies, I'll try to do this stranger's mother a favor and continue on with the tradition. They are lovely aren't they?  I'm sad she felt they were only worth 2 dollars, and even then I paid 1.75, I was a quarter short.
