SuzAnna's w/camera on a hot Summer day....

It's fun to have a kid with a camera when browsing around my favorite local antiques/vintage shop, SuzAnna's. Having one with a creative eye who knows how to do fun things such as color accent and videos is even better. Taking pictures of oneself in mirrors is a great idea!

Jasmin and I displayed our rings on this hand.

I was pleased she remembered to look up for this shot............there are fun things always dangling from the ceiling.

I bet in all honesty she would rather have been here, but as we did visit the beach last week while in Maine, and will soon be preparing to head West to the Pacific, a hour or so browsing and chatting with friends here in the blistering sun was also fun.........until we just had to run for shade and a cool drink.

I did get my camera away from her now and then. Here is my picture of STARS, love that blue......................and it was cooling...........


...........and here are the pair of cute little concrete chickens I brought home from SuzAnna's. Now on the dining room table but I'm planning to move them into the fresh air on the porch for the Summer.
Jasmin captured over a hundred images during our visit to the shop! Do you encourage young kids to use a camera? Do you think photography enables kids to see life in a new perspective through a lens.......possibly unlocking their creativity?

  1. Jasmin certainly does have a creative eye! Love the "self portrait"! I also adore the chickens!

    I agree that kids with cameras can certainly produce some surprisingly thoughtful (and silly, of course) photos!

  5. Love those old chairs! I don't think hubby would let me get them though since we have so many "sitting areas"! Of course I say it is so you can enjoy different parts of the yard through the day!! That blue pail is really pretty too, and I think that the chickens are just sooo cute!!

  9. Yes I think all children should have and learn to use a camera early. I have had a camera since I was 18. We could not afford one before that. At 18 I had a job and bought my own. My own children, however, have always had cameras and some of my grands do too. Lovely post of some lovely things. Jasmin and you are having a great time. Blessings
