I've missed you ladies!!!!
I'll do a blogpost on my long weekend, but it was overall amazing, except for the little boy on the train that looked almost exactly like my vision of my LO ![]()
Speaking of which, this is the necklace that I got for Mother's Day! DH let me pick out a necklace in memorial of Gabriel, so here it is!! It's two hearts that are interconnected, and without the little heart, the big heart (mine) is no longer complete!

Also, we were in a small little mountain-made store (we were in the Smokies) and they had a basement with a tiny antique room, and I found these, which are officially my birthday presents!!! ![]()
This is a 1958 Voigtlander Vito BR 35mm, one of only 11,000 made! I got a few pictures from the Blue Ridge Highway after I bought some film!!
And this is a 1937 Voigtlander Brillant V6 (the kind you look down into the top to see the view - the bottom left image is what you see when you look down). It had a roll of film in it, and they couldn't tell if it had been exposed or not, so my local shop is developing it for me!! I SO hope it's a camera with a story!!!!

That necklace is so beautiful- I love the symbolism behind it. Great choice.
My grandma had a camera like the bottom one floating around when I was a kid. It didn't work anymore and we just used to like playing with it. Sadly, it was lost in a flood. Brings back great memories though.
