Thrifting+Me=Happiness & Joy!!! Check out the sweet new Kodak Brownie Starflash {the superheroe of old cameras~!} I also picked up an old German SLR, in the original brown leather case. For peanuts. :)
I'm wiggling and skipping and jumping for JOY because two of my favourite acts have new albums (can I still say album or does that make me old? don't answer that) Bat for Lashes and Coconut Records. If you ever hitch a ride and I pick you up you will be forced to listen to this, okay? Natasha Khan is my style hero and I just LOVE her voice. Listen and watch. Isn't that AWESOME?
My beloved sister in law (the perfect health nut) inspired me to eat clean. So now I am eating flavourful spicy food that is as close to it's natural state as possible. I'm addicted to this. I'm a kitchen whiz! And now my kids are off the frozen pizzas so I'm happy. It requires organization in the kitchen, and planning, but it is all worth it. Go see.
Love? Well love is...allowing your husband to joke about the breakout you are suffering due to the self-inflicted detoxing...
Julian: "Hey, uh, what's up with your face?" (sporting a grin)
Me: "Oh, I'm breaking out because of the eating clean thing." (slightly embarassed, looking away sheepishly)
Julian: "Did you watch the You Tube video of the lady from Britain? She sings really well. Susan..."
Me: (tossing a towel at him) "Shut up you *ss. You know it's Boyle."
So there you have it. If he wasn't so funny, he'd be dead.
Enjoy your weekend kids~! xo

Bonus material; For a follow up while I was applying my makeup. Julian: "Gimme a G." (goiner)
Then, just before the giant hook came out and yanked him off stage....Julian: "NASA called babe. They are short a planet."
Oh gosh you make me giggle! Or should I say your hubby made me giggle.
I love your thrifty finds so cool, i am a big fan of the hunt, no better way to spend an afternoon.
This singer reminds me of Kate Bush, now I'm dating my self. Have a great Friday.

Nothing like a man with a sense of humour! :) I am a fan of Bat for Lashes too. And hooray for you eating healthily and for your cool thrifty finds! I love old cameras, almost as much as old typewriters. But I am resisting buying the old ones, as I am seriously short of space. But if I see a really cool old camera here, I'll get it for you! Bonne weekend, dear Gill! xoxox

I had a starflash... in black, of course, since I was a 7 year old professional. I can still hear those flashbulbs tink and sizzle.
LOL @ Julian. I WILL try the veal...

Wow, you hit the jackpot with that one, Gill. I'd love to have that kind of wit around me on a regular basis!
Love the idea of eating "clean". Very intriqued.

Wow detox-eating, I'd like to try that. Perhaps I should take photos of my face to see what I looked like before hahaha
Speaking of photos, yours are unbelievable lately. Love them!
