I asked for this camera here and here, and I whined about it too many times to link, so let’s just put all my collective camera bee-atching here .
Last week, I was on Twitter. Oh yeah. I’m cool like dat. I can tweet with the best of ’em, so feel free to follow me. And Kasey from Lola B’s tweeted that she was selling her Canon Rebel XT, with Lens mind you, for an insanely reasonable price. I dare not tell you what said insanely reasonable price was because all of you will hate me. And although I am actually quite accustomed to people hating me, I’m just not up for the drama right now. Where were we? Oh yes, Kasey tweeted, and I think instead of Gwyneth….at that moment I was looking something like this…
I know that all you can think of right now is the tacky leg lamp from “A Christmas Story”, but trust me, these lamp shades are chic and adorable and look nothing like a leg. Go check them out.
Uh, Beth, congrats on the camera and all, but I thought this was a decorating blog???
Don’t worry friends. I’m busy painting and spray painting, so I should have something pretty and transformed to show you soon! In the meantime, I invite you to bask in my glow. Can you bask in someone else’s glow? Does it work that way? Ah well, you’re invited to anyway.

Amy says
I'd be glowing too. That is, if I were YOU!!!!!! But since I'm me, I will continue taking pictures with our point and shoot digital, which happens to have avocado smeared on the lens at this very moment courtesy of my toddler. That's what I get for trying to stand close up when I took a close- up!
Jennifer says

Beth@The Stories of A to Z says
LOL Anonymous! No. My thyroid is good to go. You should see my entire family. When we look off to the side we just have Betty Davis eyes…which sounds so much better than thyroid issue….or bug eyes…which I've also heard. Here's a pic of my great grandma. http://www.diseaseaday.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/graveseyes.jpg
Kidding, kidding :).
AnNicole@Our Suburban Cottage says
That is awesome!!! I totally understand the desire for a good camera. I have to hold my breath (literally) when I take a photo with my little point and shoot camera or else it comes out blurry. I'm going to save up my little pennies and be on the lookout for something new.

I am so excited for you Beth! Yay!!!

A new camera is always a boost, I renewed my interest in blogging because of my new Lumix last year.

Mandi @ Finding Home says
Rock on sister friend! So glad that you were the lucky one! I'm hoping some of that heaven-parting-ness comes my way as my birthday is in a couple weeks and all I want is a new camera. I too am tired of my yellow-too-dark-crapola photos.
Carmen says
Nice camera!! Love economista's lampshades too…how creative! Very impressive!

Congrats on your new camera, Annie (Lebowitz)! I'm excited to see your new photos and might even get a bit jealous. I never thought I was "into" photography, but I love perusing blogs and looking at people's great photos.
Amanda @ Serenity Now says
