…polaroids. a funny thing happened. well, its not so much funny for me as it is tragic and sad and i must do something about it. but here we are. when i heard that polaroid were ceasing production of both their films and cameras, i immediately got onto amazon and ebay and stocked up on a lot of film. i felt very smug, and although i was now short of money, i was happy. then i ventured out for my best friend’s birthday later that week and somehow managed to leave my polaroid camera in the black taxi (meaning no way of contacting them). i was devastated and upset and the only thing that could console me was immediately getting onto ebay and buying a new one. however, when this new one arrived, it didnt work. i have now lost my enthusiasm, and havent even bothered to send the broken one back to the ebay seller (who i mailed and she said she would accept it back). this will be resolved soon. i promise.

in the meantime, i love to check nectar and light, where i can see how polaroids should be used…

jen’s work is inspiring, beautiful and makes me sad that polaroids are going to be no more.

have a lovely weekend…

i think that over the next week or so i will focus on revealing my favourite blogs – ones that i look forward to checking every day, and to begin with…

i’ve been avidly reading a blog by a girl called sarah known as saipua, who creates the most beautiful floral sculptures in her shop in new york.

reading her blog inspires me to buy flowers more often. i used to work in a florists and it was the most enjoyable part time job ive had… being able to play around with so many different shapes and colours of flowers and greenery was so enjoyable, and although i look forward to checking her blog and finding a new post, i also know that every new creation she posts breaks part of my heart…

i wonder if i can just abandon the career path i’m on, study floristry and open a little flower shop in a small seaside town … and live happily ever after ?

probably not, but until i can spend my days playing with unlimited buds and blooms, i’ll settle for buying the odd little plant or stem, and trying to capture how happy it makes me in a couple of snapshots…

i promise not to let this little plant die.
