Vintage wooden hanger, linens and dried roses ~

A freshly spritzed with Lavender water and ironed vintage hand towel . . . a dusted off old vintage hanger (not sure of the age but the phone number only has three numbers so that's antique!) and dried roses from a memorable event, hangs in my home. 

A dried rose, Vintage perfume tearbottle & Ancestor's ~

Memory box and dried roses ~

The dried roses are from mom's memorial service... they sit on top a pretty little box that hold's memories of mom. Both sit on my roll top desk in my home office. I thought it would make a nice photo of the day...

New Camera, dried hydrangea's, rose petals, and Mom ~

I purchased a gently used new Canon Rebel camera, and this is really the first time I used it. I have been playing and attempting to get use to it. The above photo of my beautiful mom, dried rose petals from her service, and hydrangea's I dried from my garden, became my subjects to play with. This camera is going to take some getting use to! Much different from my point and shoot Canon camera, that is for sure.  I must have taken 100 photos before even coming up with a somewhat decent one.

 I wanted to highlight the hydrangea's so that the purple-ish color stood out, but then there would be a glare on mom's photo. I tried the auto setting and with the flash, the hydrangea's looked a dried up brown color. This photo does not do any of the subjects justice...and it's fuzzy looking. I will just keep playing...that is how you learn right!?!
