100 days of summer

Hello sweet friends -- have some EVER so epic news today - I'm maybe the last person on earth who is blogger and a photographer to join Instagram! I LOVE IT. Already. I tried with Twitter, I really did, but I just never got Twitter. Great place to hear news about books, but I just couldn't keep up with it. But I adore adore Instagram. And I want to also tell you about my latest photo project - 100 Days of Summer. A picture a day, for 100 days. It'll be a great way to build up my Instagram account. I'm so slow, I had to start a week or so early, to make sure I got everything in before September.

And here's the tricksy part - I'll be spreading it around. Some of my 100 days photos will be here. Some will be on Instagram. And some will be on my Melissa Glynn Photography page on Facebook. It will be like a little scavenger hunt to find my photos, ha ha ha! The first one is already up on Instagram.

Do you like my wee flowers? They're all from my yard! Some are probably weeds, but they looked pretty anyway. I LOVE MY PITCHER. I found it in a local antique store. I went in looking for blankets or quilts, I'm trying to build up a collection for photo sessions, and instead I found this tiny little pitcher or creamer and it was shaped like a little cottage. I COULDN'T LEAVE IT IN THE STORE FOR GOODNESS SAKES. Andrew totally didn't understand that, foolish man.

I got it, put posies in it, and gave it to Julia for May Day. It looks kind of giant in these pix, but it's this tiny little thing, maybe three or 3 and a half inches wide? So adorable.
