Yup I did it. I got caught up in this scissor love that our lovely Kim introduced us to. I guess I am just like a kid, if she has it then I gotta have it. So I first went searching on Amazon, my go-to place for just about anything from books, bird-feeders and boots. They seemed to be a might expensive for a "prop". So my blogging buddy, Kelly (you might want to hop over to her blog to see her heroic decision for Kids with Cancer campaign) guided me to ETSY. Oh yes, there they were and for only $7.99 plus a little shipping. I also found another one that is a little fancier but with lots of character...unfortunately I am still waiting for it to arrive. Looks like it is coming from China, you know the saying "a slow boat to China". Anyhoo....who knew you could have a love affair with a pair of scissors.
Joining Kim's Texture Tuesday today. I used Kim's KK_99 on both images.
Until next time.....
you made me smile. :)
ReplyDeletewonderful and the texture you have chosen is perfect!
ReplyDeleteGreetings Esther
What a pretty shot!
ReplyDeleteOh, those are lovely scissors! I love props too - it's gotten to the point where my family will point to a mug or a bowl in a store and ask if I "need" it :)
ReplyDeleteLove those scissors! I succumbed, too, and have some but I've yet to use them, something that needs to be changed.
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid the daffs stole the show from the scissors for me! Great setting-the-mood photos.
ReplyDeleteI love the daffodils! The texture you chose is beautiful - love processing.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful images.
ReplyDeleteThe scissors are so charming! Who knew? The yellow flowers are so striking. Great set, Deanna!
ReplyDeleteThe daffodils are so sweet, and I love the pink handled scissors Kim had the other day!
ReplyDeletescissors and twine are all the rage and they photograph so beautifully. I'm feeling like you - she's got it and suddenly I need it. Etsy you say .... hummmm!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures.
Well, those really are a special pair of scissors! Love the little daffy's, too. Very sweet. xo Karen
ReplyDeleteI relate to your scissors envy! Love the scissors and the twine. And the little daffodils. It's too early for them here, but I'm anticipating them soon!
ReplyDeleteI loved reading your story with your new scissors, I also bought myself one pair just for my shootings, and I love so much your picture from above with the tiny daffodils... lovely focus on the flowers and lovely d-o-f, gorgeous texture work... a wonderful printed card for spring's arrival...
ReplyDeleteHa Ha I too succumbed and now have some in fact they came in a pack of three !!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty and so elegant, Deanna. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd the DOF and bokeh are just perfect!
I suffer from 'prop envy' often. :) Your images are wonderful. The scissors looks great, they were worth the wait.
ReplyDeleteLeave it to Kelly to have the answer. Lovely scissors.
ReplyDeleteThe second photo is wonderful. Love the focus and the bright yellow.
ReplyDeleteI can see why you wanted them!!! Beautiful photos my friend!
ReplyDeleteHugs~
Oh yeah ... gotta have those scissors! I love the daffodils and your processing - beauty!
ReplyDeleteLove your shot Deanna and what fun with scissors! Who would have "thunk it'. I am still tempted to join in kim's second edition of this class!s Looks like so much fun
ReplyDeleteHmmmm now you've got me thinking about scissors. Loved the shot with the daffodils.
ReplyDeleteHi Deanna, thank you for stopping by on my Blog and commenting my TT image. Me too, I love these vintage scissors, but didn't find it here in Switzerland. I saw some on ETSY but I'm curious about the shipping costs from China? I'm sure, one day I alsowill have one :) Greetings Esther
