If Only You Were Functional

Say hello to my beautiful 1950s movie camera. I believe that I've mentioned it before, but now here it is. I just so happened to stumble upon this lovely camera at a valentine antique show. The man selling it saw that I was taking pictures and pointed it out. Usually I wait for holidays and birthdays to add a new (to me) camera to my collection because they are somewhat expensive. So when I saw that this movie camera was only $20 I got so excited. As I paid the guy, he put the camera into its original camera case. I was so surprised at what a good deal this was. I now use the vintage leather camera case as a purse. It fits everything perfectly and it is quite cute. Maybe I will start showing more of my vintage camera collection. What do you think?
Until next time, Mandy

  1. I didn't know that you collected vintage cameras. There is an antique store nearby that sells them-- I'll be sure to snap some photos next time I go by. Maybe they have something you're interested in. :)

  2. I would like to see more! Too bad it doesn't work, it would be so fun to use. I always like looking at old cameras at thrift stores but have never purchased one myself.

  5. That is super cool! I love it when I find great deals like that. One time I found a Polaroid Land Camera brand new in the box, with a film cartridge for only $5! I almost cried!
