A Saturday in the Life of One Girl

I love when Bleubird Vintage does her "a photo an hour" posts so I thought I would try to capture my day last Saturday. It was a very productive day!

Wednesday Diptych #31: Bijou!

Here we are again...another Wednesday! Another diptych! Man, I feel like the weeks are a blur sometimes. This week's diptych project is "bijou" which means a small, delicately worked piece. The first picture is of a crochet lace design by my great grandmother. I never had the chance to meet her. She passed away before i was born. I've only seen pictures of her. I absolutely love this lace piece. Because it is beautiful and it is my roots. I inherited it when my grandmother, her daughter, passed away. I love using this at Christmas time in the middle of a large table...it looks like a delicate snowflake. I, personally, have no idea how to crochet. And yes! I have tried it and got extremely frustrated while my friend picked it up immediately sat there and crocheted like 5 million scarves in no time. Not cool. Anyway, I believe the time it took my great grandmother to do this and the talent she had very much qualifies this as "bijou" in my book. I desperately wish I had tons more of her things that were left behind and forgotten. The second photo includes another lace piece of hers with a little bit of me and my pretty little pink flower ring. I adore that little ring.

Check out the blog where Kellee gets detailed on the diptych project!

Next week's diptych will be: "Gizmo: a mechanical device or part whose name is forgotten or unknown"

Have a great Wednesday everyone. Feel free to follow me on Bloglovin' or Google friend. To the right →→

Diptych #30: Vespertine

Happy diptych Wednesday! This week's diptych is "Vespertine" which means of, pertaining to, or occurring in the evening.
I like the way the arrows of light coming from the lamp echo the arc in our holding hands. I wanted to capture what you might feel while taking a late evening stroll with your sweetie.
The creator of this little project is taking a break next week. Next up will be "Bijou", something small, delicate, and exquisitely wrought, on August 12th.

Wednesday Diptych #26: Summer

I'm joining the band wagon on a photography project that I found on Miss Grace's blog (quite a cool blog I must add). The explanation about what a diptych is can be found here on the blog where it all started. Basically its having fun with photography. Each week there is a new word. The two photos below are diptych's of summer.
