Free Download for Subscribers

April 10, 2015 by Barb 13 Comments

I can’t believe it’s time for Friday Finds already, and today I have a free download for subscribers!

Goodness the days fly by …

I found a couple new-to-me stores here in Arizona. First, Home Goods which is much like our Home Sense in Canada, and then a Marshall’s right beside it.

Oh my … the hubs is a saint taking me to all these places … I found so much loveliness … I never buy anything too expensive, just a lot of little things which add up … we talked about that at The Open Studio last night. It seems to be a problem with all of us lovers of “still life”, but I think we beat ourselves up a bit too much. I don’t spend money on much else … I certainly have no vices (insert smile) … anyway, I found some sweet little garden-themed props to go with my hyacinth print. I’m including a link to the full resolution file of this print with my next newsletter (going out today).

I also found three hyacinth bulbs which I scooped up, brought home, and proceeded to plant into their own separate little containers. I think I’m trying to satisfy my gardening bug whilst in Arizona … in a condo.

I love what the “chocolate” preset did to the following image … and do not those scissors look like they are sitting right there?

Tip: if you need a prop, perhaps a photo of a prop will do :)

Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend (perhaps I’ll see you on Sunday for Sunday Sundries.)

    Oh Barb, here in the US and my city, I’m addicted to those stores and even my husband loves going there. Any more I don’t feel guilty about what I find to buy, as it is always priced right, pretty, usable, etc. I really love this image, and look forward to the email with it to play with!! I’m kind of in a photo funk right now with my own creativity, so yours will be fun to play with. Thank you!!

    Your image with the print within your shot is gorgeous. What a great idea. Love all the dirt too. :) I usually find props at flea markets, most of the time it is cheaper than the regular stores. But Marshals does have good deals now and then…

    Thank you so much Barb for the so lovely picture you allow us to print… I need te re-fill my printer with inks first and then I’ll print it and try to play with it…
    I think we don’t have so many stores in France as you have in the US (or Canada too) but I love to stroll on flea markets when their season begins in May and look for unusual or antique small and cheap objects which will become props… Sometimes I borrow an object I find beautiful to a friend and give it back once I’ve played with it.
    This is always so inspiring to look at your lovely pictures Barb and I never get tired at contemplating the props, the details, the light, the setting…

    Thank you for the beautiful printable, Barb – Your news letters brighten my day each time :-)
    I agree with you – the small finds (often times from a flee market) to Still Life Photography shouldn’t burden us too much … They’re going to re-use anyway, the day we will not be using them anymore – so let’s just delight in these finds!
