Holga!

This is too cute! I want one!! If anyone wants to buy me a gift... (Vid from abeautifulmess.typepad.com)

I've been messing around with my sisters' diana mini, and although only 4 pictures from my roll came out, I WON'T GIVE UP! No no.. It's such a spontaneous fun toy camera, and I always feel so hipster using it. Turns out I may have messed some settings up.. But the ones that did come out are gorgeous. It's just so much fun using film. The suspense, the excitement, the pure joy of opening up the folder with your photos. My sisters and I want to buy some equipment to develop our own negatives. That would be FUN!

Another day another dollar

Today was really getting me down... I was tired and bored and annoyed with life.. So when my mom asked me to pop off to the shop to buy some lavazza coffee and pasta for tomorrow's lunch, I was really happy for an opportunity to get out of the house and get some fresh air... Not to mention drop off my Diana mini roll at the lab (yay! ! ! )

So mil tags along, and notices, as only a keen eyed photographer does, that the sky is just amazing! So we run inside, grab all the cameras we can find, and run out to get some pics... (Some convincing was necessary on Mil's part, because I have to admit, I initially wasn't loving the idea.) But in the end, we had loads of fun, got some rad pics, and ended up going out a second time, because dim was feeling left out since she was catching up on latin homework when we went the first time...

Anyways, in the end, I think the photos are cool and we had loads of fun!
I hope you like them too!

Our blog needs a makeover!

I really think it's time we changed things up around here. I'd like our site to return to it's original web site-ness and away from blog-ness... I know that it's main function is a blog, and we obviously have to be realistic about that, but I think some changes would be fun!

We also apologize for the lack of posting, and how boring we've become, but life has been really very normal of late, and I, especially, find splashing mundane every day life all over the web a waste of time, quite frankly!

Today, right now actually, I'm going to sew/moleskine/tidy up/ paint my nails, so later on there should be something happening around these parts! Keep your eyes peeled!

happy birthday!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIANLUCA!
Today our oldest brother Gianluca turns 23 today. Hope you had a really nice day and that this year ahead is really special for you!

we made him lemon sponge cupcakes with lemon curd and miringue but unfortunately the curd failed.

and these were just vanilla cupcakes with sprinkles.

Happy easter!

Happy easter everyone! I hope your day was filled with lots of chocolate but if you don't do that then I just hope your day was great.
Our holiday ends in 2 days and those will be filled with last minute school work cramming. It makes me feel a bit sick knowing that Ale is staying in a beatiful Holiday Inn right on top of the sea in Naples having a great time and snapping pictures, (although she's there for a conference, and those are never really fun.)
Anyway that's all I really had to say. To brighten up this dull post here are some nice, colourful photos!

 

Roadtrip and Diana mini

So Ale has just left to Naples for the weekend, packed with our Diana mini! We're really excited to see her results when she gets back, but for now we thought we'd share a few photos from our first and only diana mini roll. Our brother borrowed it a year ago and only finished the roll yesterday... At the time we were disappointed with the results. But everyone has a bad first roll right?
