I turned the
Big Three Seven a few days ago and scored this 'surprise' film camera from my hubby. He spotted it on eBay, thought it looked retro-cool and would make a nice little 'compact' for my handbag. How sweet is that! Only problem: broken lens mechanism. Never one to shy away from a tinkering challenge, he spent several nights fixing it while Lily and I were visiting my parents. Now I'm the proud owner of an Olympus LT 105 in perfect working order.
We're not big, expensive gift givers in our house. In fact, I've always been more of a card girl. Depending on the giver and the sentiment, I'll keep them for years. But as gifts go, it's hard to top something handmade or restored. Like a beautifully written card, it has been carefully considered and comes straight from the heart.
