Great gifts from the best husband in the world

The Hubs and I had our 7th anniversary on Tuesday!

He got me two gifts. One, you will be seeing the results of on the blog.  It’s a flash bounce for the camera!  (A device that deflects the flash upwards instead of AT the subject, which never turns out pretty.)

Of course, I played with it right away.  Here is the major difference it makes:

The second gift is amazing:

Scale model camera and lenses

It probably wasn’t quite as expensive as it looks.  That might have something to do with the fact that the camera is under an inch wide.

This is now the coolest miniature I own.  And I am really looking forward to adding a little photography corner to the dollhouse!

Thank you again, Hubs!  You are the best.

SUCCESS!

    Congrats to you both! Wedding or dating anniversary (like it matters, both are equally amazing)?

    Really cool mini camera, I was first searching where is the light bounce in that camera but then actually read the text 🙂 I have a light bounce too, it is superb, but our dark ceilings take some egde from it 🙁

      Thanks Sarah. I got him a book of gadgets/desktop toys that he can DIY, just for fun and a gift card for a date night at the book store.

Ugly photo time! We're doing the $100 Room Challen Ugly photo time! We're doing the $100 Room Challenge on our dining room (that you guys haven't even seen the "before" of yet). It's a super fun challenge to stay within $100 and makeover a room in a month. We're behind schedule, but there has actually been progress. I'll try to remember to share here, but there's more on the blog! LittleVictorian.com
