My neighbor was setting up for a moving sale yesterday, so we walked over to see what was going on. I didn’t know they were moving, and that is because they don’t plan to move till January. They are just starting to get things cleaned out before their big move. First, I spotted these awesome vintage suitcases. I have a few friends who like to take pictures, so I grabbed a few. I couldn’t pass up 2 cases for $9. Even if they don’t want them, I’ll figure out something to do with them.

She asked if there was anything else I needed. I said, “Yah, do you have a Polaroid camera?” See, I have this idea for a few baby showers I’m giving in the next couple months, and a Polaroid camera would be awesome to have. So, I threw it out there. She replies, “Yes, I do. It’s in the house.” and came walking out with a camera. I asked how much she wanted, and the answer was $5. I was all over that.

Then, playing around with it, I ended up taking a picture of the trees behind me. We had no idea there was film in the camera. So we tested to see how many were in there. The result was one more picture of Ella.

I came home and showed Kevin my new treasure. He loves it. He loves that the picture of Ella looks like it was taken 20 years ago. The color of the picture, it’s slightly out of focus, the house in the background (which is from like 50 years ago), and our neighbor girl (she is one of the front yard ninjas). How excited are we! Only problem, finding film. I have found a few sources, but does anyone have a secret place they order their polaroid film from? Or know what other film will work. I was researching last night, and the outlook is expensive. Not as bad as I would think, since other companies are now making film for the out of production polaroids, but I’m still wondering if there is anything cheaper. If you find something, let me know.
