A big thank you to Ciara Sames for featuring me in her latest "Home/Closet/Tool" post on her beautiful blog, Glass & Sable. As part of the series, each participant submits an item from his or her home and closet, plus a meaningful tool. My choice for the latter? The Polaroid camera pictured below.
I've had it since college, and I have hundreds (hundreds!) of photos stored away from that time. I love it so much; it's been such a trusty sidekick. (You can see the rest of my post on Glass & Sable, here.)
What are you up to this weekend? I'm going to a BBQ, bidding a fond farewell to a friend who's moving to China, and celebrating my niece's fourth birthday (I'm excited for the cupcakes).
Whatever your plans, have a great one!

ReplyDeleteI love your polaroid cam! I wish i had one, i would snap away at everything
ReplyDeleteIt must be lots of memories in those photos and must be a treasure! Love polaroid cameras and how they turn out. I'll visit her blog to check out your post after this! xo akiko

I looove polaroids. I recently began coveting this really awesome digital polaroid camera that lets you edit the image and save it electronically as well as print it out. I think I'd do a lot of decorating with them if I had one. :)
ReplyDeleteIt was so wonderful getting to see a little peek into your life, Shoko! Thanks for sharing! And stay in touch, girl! ♥
ReplyDeleteI love Polaroids (and I have an old Polaroid camera) but I can't find the film for a decent price! Where do you buy your film?
ReplyDeletexoxo,

ReplyDeleteYaaaay, congrats on the guest post!! You picked the coolest things - the Polaroids are fantastic & so special!
ReplyDeleteHopefully I can make my way to BKLYN Larder to pick up their amazing almond butter this weekend. I also have some babysitting, a BBQ & (fingers crossed) some light shopping on the schedule! Have a great weekend Sho!!
I love Polaroid photos! Maybe it's all in my head, but I think they capture candidness in a way that no other kind of photo can. Also, great feature on you at Glass & Sable! I LOVE that ring of yours. It was lovely to get a peek into your life :-) Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI love polaroids! I had one with me when I met my boyfriend and he still carries around the pic he took of me and my friends! Have a fantastic weekend!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, everyone!
ReplyDeleteHauna, of course you're in there! You're in so many of my very favorites!
Ciara, my pleasure! Thank YOU - and yes, let's stay in touch!
Amy, I get mine at the Impossible Project - though I have to admit, I don't buy nearly as much as I used to - it's expensive!
Kathy, thank you! So glad you liked it :)
Angela, that is so sweet!
Shoko, I loved this feature! Thanks for giving us a glimpse into your life! I'd love to have a polaroid camera - I'd be taking pictures all.the.time!
ReplyDeleteWe just got back from a birthday celebration and on Sunday we're leaving for a road trip. Have a wonderful weekend and enjoy your niece's birthday (and the cupcakes, of course ;)
For me, the most truthful and creative photographs are from polaroid cameras. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend. :)
I agree that the impossible proj is expensivvee, I wish we could get the student discount in the US!
ReplyDeleteYour film came out so good!
My pictures are always overexposed and I get that leak in the top, since I have to press down my polaroid camera as the film rolls out..oh well!
btw you are so KAWAIIII!
