Hendersonville, the epic jouney part three (the greehouse)

Now I know why people photograph flowers all the time. It's so easy to get a shot that is usable and beautiful. Plus, Macro. Hell yes.
I always have to photograph myself when I do my outfit shots. It's a little bit that I'm a control freak, and a little bit that I don't have anyone else to do it. If I could convince my boyfriend to take them we almost never see each other during daylight. So it was kinda a treat to have my Mom to shoot a couple of shots that my tripod just couldn't get to. All the ones in the little vignettes were shot my her. Yay Mom!


This was so cool that I climbed up into the little enclosure it hung in to get photos. I'm glad none of the staff saw me. I doubt they would have been pleased.

It was a good deal smaller than it looks. No bigger than a clementine orange. I just loved the creepy fingers it had.

Cute little fishsies!
Adorable orange dot.
Look out little black fish! The terrible dwelling doll will such your soul! Seriously though, this was beyond creepy. I don't know why they put it in.
I had a blast taking photos in here. I think we were in there nearly an hour. A big thanks to my Grandpa for being patient even though he was hungry.

I swear these posts are almost over.

a day of glamor (my way)

I am not high maintenance. Never have been, I hope to never develop that disposition. So my idea of glamor is usually a smidge less than oh, everyone elses. In my eyes I had a very decadent day. For starters I waaay over slept. Yep, off to a self-indulgent start. Then i pulled together a few items I needed to return to walmart, got some store credit, and purchased a lovely new tripod.

His name is Steve.

I also purchased 2 pairs of knee high trouser socks that I didn't need. They were so cute though! Then I made my way to the craft store in search of the right color embroidery thread to patch a dress and ended up with the makings of a necklace that I certainly wasn't planning on. My next stop brought me to Chic-Fil-a where I bought lunch with the inclusion of an ice cream dessert (you don't realise how indulgent that really is. I'm lactose intolerant. LOL!). After lunch Steve and I photographed my outfit.yep.

Then I settled indoors for the remainder of this hot day. I watched Breakfast At Tiffany's (which I'm ashamed to admit I had never seen before. It was everything i had hoped for. Audrey really is incredible.) Then to keep with the Audrey theme I switched from Hepburn to Tataou and watched Amalie (one of my all time faves) All the while working on my wholesale line of earrings. I'm nearly finished and I can't wait to debut them!

As a final Glamorous act I finished reading all the archived posts of the Glamourai.
She is amazing. I want to grow up to be her. Cept I'm older. ~sigh~
My tunes of choice had to meet a certain level of glam standards so I tuned into Brian Eno, T-rex, and the Emperor of glamorous music and poise David Bowie.

All in all a splendid day If I do say so myself.
Hope yours was splendid too.
luv,
Vanessa*
