My vintage love..

I have a very large spot in my heart for antique shopping.  I adore vintage things and seem to get in trouble when I go antique shopping because I want one of everything!  lol.  Today I took my fiance and my brother to our local antique mall for two reasons.  For one, I wanted to get some vintage props for photoshoots.  For two, I'm getting married in 29 days and I wanted to see what they had in terms of decor for my wedding.  Can you guess the theme for my wedding?  Yup! Vintage!  =)
So we walked around and of course the boys were instantly attracted to all the war knives and helmets and things like that but I kept walking and came across the cameras.  There were about 6 in the glass case I was looking in but only one of them really stood out to me so I purchased that one.  I also spotted a beautiful vintage Remington typewriter that I had to have!  I'm guessing it's probably from the 30's or 40's but it's still in great condition for an antique and is still types!  So, I bought that too!
After doing some damage on my credit card in that store, we went into another store and I ended up finding a few more cameras.  There was one that I saw and instantly knew I had to purchase this one as well.  It was used in the 1940's and is one of those cameras with the pop top viewfinder.  I bought that one and after that, I told myself that I was done.  I was soo happy leaving there because I had found 2 amazing cameras and a beautiful typewriter!  I can't wait to use them for my photoshoots and my wedding!

The 3 new loves of my life:
