i dropped my beloved camera in the lake as i got out of our boat last night. i was holding gracie and the camera and only one of those made it to the dock. it was in a camera bag and i snatched it out so fast (like mr. incredible, really) that the camera hardly got wet at all but still… there were a few drops. so, since the camera is like the backbone of this blog and my life, it might be all over for me now (don’t know yet, haven’t turned it on. too scared to face the potential reality). i can’t eat, i can’t sleep, i can’t go to the bathroom… bear with me.
some exaggeration there…
in other news, this girl had a birthday. happy birthday to her!!! she’s lovely and i miss her.
and now, a question… i want a vintagey looking white dress (maybe one that can be belted) for some family pictures we’re doing. not ivory, definitely white white… i’ve looked all over the place and can’t find one. anyone have any suggestions i haven’t thought of? or a white dress they just wanna send me? you do? i knew it.
…sending very, {very} hopeful thoughts your way regarding the camera.
oh man, I am so sorry about the camera. 🙁
eBay had an awesome Louis Verdad WHITE vintage looking dress about 5 days ago that I almost bought — it was fab!
i will pray for your camera. i really know that sick feeling.
and i really like this dress:

although i'm not sure how vintagey you want (because it' not actually vintage).
crap. that sucks. in better news i'm going to buy my ticket out there tonight…hopefully.
missed you on my bday, but it was very uneventful. the wedding is where you were missed most.
So sorry about your camera! For the vintage white dress, maybe head on over to the Cherry Closet- her link is on my blog. She has a vintage shop.
how about these:

happy shopping!
I don't have any dress tips, but I do have a soggy electronic tip!
Stick the camera in a bag of dry rice and seal it up for a day or so. I dropped my phone in a bucket of water once, put it in a bag of rice and my phone worked perfectly. Hopefully you get the same result with your camera. 🙂
my camera is alive everybody! HALLELUJAH. thanks to my lightning-speed hands.
now, as for the dresses… THANK you all for your tips! kim–esp you! i should pay you for your help!
keep the suggestions comin!
goodness, my camera isn't just a backbone to my blog, it's a backbone to my part of my happiness! I would…cry so much if mine died.
But hal-lay-loo-yer to the fact that's it's alive!
Doh! That is terrible. But if you could only *save one*, you made a good choice 🙂
oh. my. gosh. if something like this ever happened to my camera… i would probably die.
not really, but i would totally freak out. i totally empathize with you right now! i hope, and pray that your camera is fine and perfect and good as new! i'm crossing my fingers, and sending good wishes.
Noooo! Not the camera! Hope its ok. the dress you are looking for sounds beautiful. Sadly I do not have one to send you, however your idea is so specific that I'm sure you will come across one very soon…
What do you think about these:

I guess you've probably already checked it out…but Shop Ruche always has cute vintag-y dresses. Not sure what kinda exactly you're looking for, but I just checked and there's a couple of nice white ones, and lots of very light coloured and cream ones :o)
sonja… i had never even seen shop ruche – they have some of the cutest dresses!! thank you!
