Snap Happy

Last week I ordered a little red Canon Ixus 125 camera from Amazon as I was fed up with missing opportunities where I could have taken some lovely photos.  DSLRs are great but mine is ridiculously heavy and it wasn't ideal to be lugging it around with me everywhere.  The Ixus is teeny weeny which is perfect for my small hands but it can be a bit fiddly sometimes!  Now I can take photographs whenever and wherever I want so I've got quite a few to share on my blog today :)


My Dad was 50 on Friday and we had a little family get-together that involved loads of cakes as he has a sweet tooth.  There's still loads of food left and even though I wanted to be good and healthy I'm pretty much like this at every meal.

On Saturday I went carbooting again (anyone else use that word or is it just my family?) but came home empty handed.  I found a gorgeous vintage planter shaped like a tree stump (complete with whimsical deer and bunnies) but the seller wanted £6 for it and I turned it down.  I kind of regret it now but it just seemed expensive for a car boot item.  I've found that prices are a lot higher nowadays and it's harder to get genuine bargains :(

Today the weather was A-MAZ-ING and I pulled some of my Spring/Summer clothes out of the suitcases they've been hiding in and took the dogs for a walk.  I saw plenty of photos online of people eating ice cream, having BBQs and sunbathing and now I'm all geared up for brighter mornings and wearing all my cute shorts!  I hope all you guys had a lovely Sunday too!

    1. Yeah I'm SO glad the weather has improved! It's stayed pretty sunny here in the East of England but it's still a bit too windy for my liking :')

  4. I'm thinking of buying a new little camera to carry around with me. Did you go to the late one again? I find that the people who clearly do stalls as a business never have bargains. The best stall are the ones run by people having a clear out :)

    1. I 100% recommend getting a little compact as they're so easy to tuck away in my bag and take amazing photos! I don't know how I coped without mine before :D

      Yep I went to the late one again :) There were so many businesses there last Saturday which sucked! I did find one awesome stall run by an old couple and they had soooo many adorable animal figurines. Hopefully they'll be there this Saturday!
