I have many mirrors in my home and it seems that wherever I stand I always somehow end up in the shot.

I learn new stuff all the time – might as well share it and save someone else a little trouble. :-) I finally found a little point and shoot that I just love and it has some different settings and cool features. I experiment with that a pretty good and it takes some pretty good pics.

I took a few classes but everything else was trial and error. And to me, there is no right or wrong way...just pick what you like.<br /><br />I've been fortunate that I've been able to find pieces that are inexpensive. These little goblets were $2.00 at a yard sale. They looked awful but cleaned up nicely. I've never paid more than $20 and that is for the large pieces or for a set of 8 forks, spoons, etc. I always look for the worst looking pieces and then try to bargain for them when I think it's appropriate! Hopefully you will find some soon. I love the sparkly...LOL.

I am learning how to use my big girl camera and there is a lot of trial and error. I too adore silver, but don't own any. I always look at yard sales and thrift stores, but I haven't yet found even one piece that is less than a hundred dollars and I am not looking to spend that much. I just want a sparkly trinket or two!Kim https://www.blogger.com/profile/15445291034631735026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-758780567770747669.post-65995174113310018732015-04-17T17:17:18.550-05:002015-04-17T17:17:18.550-05:00Thank you!
