Did I ever tell you that I love books? It is actually more like an obsession than love. Almost to the point I think I may need rehabilitation in the future. There is something about the written word that makes my day; letting the imagination run wild. I'm still debating into buying an eReader. I love to read, but I also love holding the book, turning the pages (I know....geek!) So, I'm not sure of making the move yet. Although it would allow me to have more books without taking over our entire apartment.
That's how I got into thrifts stores and flea markets. You can find good books very cheap and in good condition. Somebody's trash is another's treasure, they say. During my travels looking for more books, I found this:
Yeap, that is an authentic Dooney & Burke, ( I checked all the marks, it is legit). The price?...$3...No typo, only $3, as in Three! I'm not into brand handbags, but when I saw it and knew I had to grab it. When I got the cashier, I shrunk a little. waiting for her to tell me that the price was a mistake or something. I walked out of the nice store with a Dooney & Burke wrist bag, and two books: Eat, Pray, Love and 1984; all for $3.60. Jackpot!
In other news, New site is up! Still working on the Art area and the mobile version but I'm pretty excited about it. I did it using ShowIt, a great tool for photographers and artists in general out there! Check them out!
I'm the same way - I've actually been reading books on my iPhone lately. I'm half way through The Alchemist - it's a great book if you've never read it! Thinking of getting an iPad so that I can read on there instead of my tiny, slow iPhone haha. I've read Eat, Pray, Love and loved it - such a great read. It made for great entertainment on a flight I took once upon a time. Congratulations on your new site as well! I LOVE SHOWIT. Oh those people are doing everything right, for real. Just love their service and their product and I just love them. Great choice!
ReplyDeleteHi Alexandra!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the blog!
I've been toying with the idea of getting an iPad too. Not only for eReading but also to have access to ideas and examples when I'm shooting on location! And ShowIt is the result of photographers doing stuff FOR photographers...you just know what you need!
