Rock Candy Chandelier

Another DYI that's right up my ally.

I have always loved chandeliers. There is something so magical and prestigious about them. And I personally think they can be finagled into any home decor. So when i came across this Rock Candy Chandelier on oncewed.com I thought it was just a brilliant idea!

I'm not sure how long these will last, but they are a very adorable and inexpensive idea for a party.

Cocktail Party 2010

(They look so scholarly)

(I thought he looked like a celeb so I took this pic, but now I'm not so sure:)

Last weekend APM and I went to a cocktail party with a lot of his high school friends. It was definitely a rousing good time. A classic 20 something party, with a few apps, a keg and a guitar guy to cap off the night.

But what I'm most excited about is that we took pictures with my Holga Camera! This little camera is my new favorite hobby. For all of you that think I'm talking nonsense, a Holga is an 1980's plastic toy camera manufactured in China. And for all of you that have seen me whip this bad boy out at parties, I promise I wasn't crazy.

It uses 120mm film, the film we used before 35mm, which is a little more difficult to find let alone develop. (yes I said develop, when I tell people I have to go develop film they think I'm crazy.) The camera lets in a crazy amount of light. Hence the blackish border. But it takes some of the most amazing, interesting pictures. I have to purchase the film in one place and get it developed and printed in another, but these will be some of my most cherished pictures to come.
