In an effort to use up some gift cards (and let's be honest - to put off grocery shopping a bit longer), we decided to have a progressive dinner of sorts, using only our random gift cards. It didn't lead to the most nutritious meal, but I think it could be the start of a fun little tradition.
*Shot using our new(ish) 85mm f/1.2 lens!
*Shout out to that talented husband of mine for the new blog design! :)
i recognize that lasagna casserole from tim hortons anywhere...so delicious!
ReplyDeleteIt was my first time having it! Quite tasty!!
Deletethat's a fun idea... I like it. and your knit hat.
ReplyDeletelove your idea! sounds like such a fun outing. and the new design is so cute.
ReplyDeletethat is a mega compliment coming from you! thanks!!
DeleteI am doing the same with my sweet today.
ReplyDeleteNot as creative endeavour but as necessity! Involves Tim's, Starbucks and Boston Pizza...
These photos look like film...I love them. Eek! Pricy lens but worth the results and a business must have {and write off too I guess...}
everything looks delicious! how fun! you should make it a monthly date or something of the sort. great photos :))

yes! we just need to keep getting gift cards...
DeleteI love the focus on all of those photos! I'm so jealous of your new lens.
ReplyDeleteyou are so sweet together!
ReplyDeletesuch a great idea! I always seem to find gift cards that I've forgotten about
ReplyDeleteI recently found a $20 gift certificate to Sunshine Records from 1998! It could almost be considered vintage
i wonder if they'd still honour it? while going through my gift cards, i realized that i've lost half of my gift card to a mall in the city because it's been over a year since i got it (after a year they start taking off 2.50/month). how is that even allowed??
Deleteyay, free dinner!
ReplyDeletei love your toque.
also i've been eyeing that lens for a while ... keep posting gorgeous photos like these and i'll be tempted to drop some big bucks in the near future ;)
i think you could do some beautiful things with this lens!!
Delete1. Love the new design
ReplyDelete2. I adore what you've done with this lens. These photos are gorgeous.

ReplyDeleteTim's! DQ! and Starbucks. This is pretty funny and great.

Diggin' the new blog design! How amazing is it to have a talented hubby to design things, eh? I like these photos, your progressive dinner looked pretty darn tasty, even if it wasn't the healthiest.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I noticed my site is listed under your "favorites", that pretty much made my night, thanks sweet lady! :-)

Deletethat little ice cream cone looks so delicious!
ReplyDeleteLOVE that lens and love the new design!
