Falling for Fur

All is officially here in North Carolina and this drop in temperature has me thinking about new prop ideas for the cold weather months.

My entire life, I've sworn I was born in the wrong decade. I've always longed for the glamour days of black and white cinema, ruby red lipstick, and FUR... yes, fur!!! (Faux of course, PETA, take me off your list) Isn't it just the epitome of sex appeal or sweet appeal (for the babies)??

I'll definitely be incorporating it into the prop closet this year. Here are some of my favorite finds so far (for inside the bedroom and beyond)

And finally, the piece de resistance

By a Show of Hands

I was going through at photographs today on Pinterest, as I often do, and found that I was particularly inspired by close up images of hands. And so my Snap Shot Saturday blog post was born. As I searched the web for hand images, I began to realize how important our hands actually are, but sadly we take them for granted. Just think of the things we do everyday with out a second thought... all made possible by the use of our hands. AMAZING. I am often guilty of cropping out hands from my photographs, and like so many other photographers, I concentrate on faces, eyes, and smiles. But all of the images I saw today tell just as much of a story. I just had to share some of my favorites. I hope you are inspired as well.
