Thanks for all the Birthday wishes. I got through the day without too many breakdowns. Now it’s on to the 2nd half of my life. People generally live to be 100 years old nowadays, don’t they?
I ended up buying myself a birthday present at the antique mall.
A Kodak Brownie Flash Six-20 (manufactured from 1946 to 1955).
Yes, I know I have a few vintage cameras, but I thought this would be a cute addition to my collection.
It’s sitting on my dining room table right now, but it will eventually sit with my other cameras on the shelf in my office.
Linking with Marty at A Stroll Thru Life for her Tabletop Tuesday.
Monogrammed chicken wire hanger from Erin’s Etsy shop – Peony Wire Works.

Pam – My Mom had that same camera and took all our childhood pictures with it. It had the two spools that rolled the film in it. What fun…and what a great gift to yourself! xo Diana

Hi Pam,
Sorry I’m late on the birthday wishes!!! Happy Birthday to you!! I hope you had a wonderful day! I know what you mean about still feeling like 35…..I hope I still feel 35 when I’m 90!
Great camera find!! I love vintage cameras!

That little camera is adorable! Man, if we had a record of all the old kooky pictures it has taken in its lifetime! Andrea @ townandprairie

I have decided that I need to buy just one of those cameras. Maybe I will buy one for my upcoming birthday.

Happy Belated Birthday! Like your camera, want to see the whole collection again. I have not been posting or visiting much. School started and is kicking my rear! The 50’s aren’t bad, you’ll shine!

Glad you made it through your birthday! I love vintage cameras, but have sold all of the older ones. I have my grandma’s and father in law’s that I will not part with ever!
Love those old brownies!
My mom took her senior year photos with one!

Happy birthday, Pam. Just found your wonderful blog and am following. I, too, am a thrifter, gardner and camera collector. Hope you’ll check out a sampling of my vintage camera collection at Moonbeams & Fireflies.

Your tablescape is lovely. That brownie camera is fabulous. I wish we hadn’t gotten rid of my grandparents closet of cameras during their estate sale.

Happy belated birthday. Too bad we don’t live closer…I’d take you to Stuckey’s for a pecan log.
Thanks for dropping by.
Debbie
P.S. In answer to your question on your previous post…I don’t know about 90, but at “gasp” 60, you still feel 35 on the inside…problem is that’s the speed you drive at as well.

Happy Belated Birthday!
I just love old cameras! We used to have an old Brownie camera in the toybox that we played with as kids! Isn’t that terrible?? LOL!

Oh, she is a beauty! These old cameras bring back so many good childhood memories.
