Friday Finds Sept 19

Find #1.
My first find this week is that I never could live in Seattle or London and maintain sanity. We've had so much rain lately it's crazy and getting more depressing by the day. We have been in a 4 year drought but since June we've had some very good rains. So the past two weeks have been somewhat unwelcome. The lakes need it, the emotions do not. We saw sun yesterday, hallelujah! Last night it started raining again.
Find #2.
I went to an interior decorator's 'scratch and dent' sale on Monday. I found this 5 foot gorgeous piece for $40. Now to figure out where to hang it. The original tag said $350. Crazy good find.

Find #3.
I went to Barnes and Noble on Thursday to use a coupon for a new magazine and get my ONE pumpkin spice latte for the season. I start a cleanse next week and I'm not supposed to be doing sugar anyway, but I've just cheated so much lately and realize just how addicting it really is. Anyway I found this great looking blogging magazine with a lot of info, like different options, Wordpress, Typepad, Square Space and lots of other information. I've wanted to redo my blog for awhile and this should help. Plus I couldn't leave with out the latest Somerset Digital Studio. !!!

Find #4.
A church just up the road started a Beth Moore bible study this week. It's been awhile since I've done one of hers and they are SO good, so I'm going. Saw a few gals I haven't seen in awhile.

I believe I will doodle in my book too.

Find #5.
A new chalk paint to try and a new brush. I watched the girl paint a piece while I was at her store. She and the brush made it look easier than my last attempt.

Find #6.
My spider lilies are a great subject for a little Hipstamatic art. Salvador 84 Lens and Robusta Film.

All shots but this and the first are Hipstamatic with Yoona Lens and Dixie Film.
Linking up with Kim for Friday Finds!

Hipsta Sunflowers

I found the best field of sunflowers with my Hipstamatic App.

I love using Hipstamatic. I have more lenses and film than I know what to do with. I bought some new packs a couple weeks ago and still haven't figured out all the combinations but I have saved a new favorite. Lowy lens and Robusta film. great color, sharpness and a little grunge.

Dream Canvas is certainly a favorite film. Here I've paired it with the Tejas lens on the next three.

The same flowers with Dream Canvas and the Bettie XL lens.

Ray Mark II lens and the Blanko 일 film.

And back to the first, Lowy and Robusta.

Another shot in the house with Ray MarkII with Blanko 일 film. Notice the texture is going sideways and the photo 2 back is up and down. I'll bet I had my camera turned sideways for one of them. Sometimes the dream canvas will change if you change the orientation of your camera also. Sometimes this works and sometimes I can't get it to.

You can save favorite combinations by… 

going to your Hipsta Gallery, 

double tap on the photo so it will flip and show you the info on the back side. 

Tap the lower center icon (camera),

You can now add it as A New Favorite Setting,

or tap Match Settings to take a photo right now using the same film and lens. I think the match settings is pretty cool. I use that a lot now.

Do you use the Hipstamatic app on your phone?

Linking up with Friday Finds…a little early.
