Going to Florida was quite an event in itself. It was my boyfriend's first time flying, and first time leaving the three upper states of New England (bless his heart). I think I must be one of the only crazy people who doesn't like Florida all that much. It's too hot and sticky for me, even at the beginning of September. It was a crazy emotional three days, from seeing my only blood sibling marry the love of his life, to meeting my paternal grandfather for the first time in my life (seriously). I brought my camera with me but I was so all over the place that I didn't get to take any pictures except one of our hotel room.
Also, I'm super duper unbelievably thrilled about my new photography job. This finally gives me some professional experience and I'm the luckiest girl that I got my first choice. I hadn't applied to a single other place before I had an interview and then a job offer a few days later! Portraits have always been my weak spot, I always preferred inanimate subjects, with the exception of my cat but he's pretty close to inanimate too. Strengthening my skills in that area is going to be such a challenge but I've already learned so much in the past two training days.
I haven't had hardly any time for creative endeavors this much, but I've managed to do a few things that I love.
I found the most beautiful little grouping of thistles next to the highway at work that just made me so happy. Thistles have been a recurring theme this year, Thistle is the name of one of my favorite online magazines, and the thistle is featured on my favorite Scottish ginger beer, so when I found these beauties I decided it must be a good omen for me :)
And last but not least I have put my first hand made item in my Etsy shop!
I call this the picnic day top. The blue checks remind me of a picnic blanket on a warm but breezy summer day, check it out HERE.
Alright, now the world is caught up on how my September has gone. Prepare for loads of Halloween madness next month because it is my absolute favorite holiday and I can't wait!
