This weekend was my favorite kind of weekend. Sleep in Saturday morning, wake up bleary eyed and warm under my blankets, throw on some clothes and head to my nearby bar for a leisurely brunch. The fire is crackling and the burning wood is a welcome scent in the morning. Then we’re off on a mission to find a vintage camera strap for my new camera. I tried some of the local Old City boutiques but no luck at any of those (although I did walk out of one with a cozy new sweater with suede elbow patches). We stopped at a couple thrift and antique stores in the South Street/Bella Vista area before making our way back to Old City for the night – the photos below are from Anastacia’s Antiques, a pretty cool spot on Bainbridge between 6th and 7th, and we also stopped at Retrospect on South Street, which usually has some great vintage finds. The holidays have really taken over the city and I find myself craving a heavy snow fall… I love it when the streets are blanketed in white drifts of silence.
If any of you have any tips on where to find that elusive vintage camera strap… holler!
id try etsy for the camera strap they have everything on there!

Where is the mason jar photo from? and where are your favorite shops in the south street/bella vista area?
i really like the filters you put on these photos. I’d be interested in fp doing a photoshop tutorial for one of your posts as you consistently post nicely edited photos.
kira lilly is right about etsy! here is one you may like that’s affordable… http://www.etsy.com/listing/61092613/vintage-camera-strap-charlie-70s-vintage?ref=sr_gallery_2&ga_search_submit=&ga_search_query=vintage+camera+strap&ga_order=most_relevant&ga_ship_to=US&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_type=handmade&ga_facet=handmade
I bought one made out of a seatbelt strap from an old T-bird. It was dyed teal and he loves it :) I bought it on photojojo.com
it’s not vintage, but the new one Tanner Goods just came out with will wear gorgeously, i’ll bet! wwww.tannergoods.com
