barcelona trip

Eli and her man are off to Barcelona! We are leaving early tomorrow morning and are staying two nights in this hostel. Eli is just so incredibly exicted about this little trip - she has never been to Spain before, and has been told that it is just packed full of culture! Excitement!

vintage photo envelopes

Eli and Toggle admit that we have a bit of an affection for vintage cameras and vintage camera manuals. But vintage photo envelopes as well?

Eli and Toggle have just discovered the joys of the retro graphic designs on old paper envelopes which are used for developed photos and negatives. It seems like a bit of a specific thing to get excited about...but just have a look at these!

fonts fonts fonts

Eli and Toggle are font and typography obsessed! We thought we would share a new font that we've discovered, which we love.


We found the cutest little internet page, which determines which type you are (via Frankie). Eli did the questionaire and was found to be Archer Hairline. She loves it!

camera collection

Eli is becoming really fond of her little camera collection. She loves to put them all together on her bookshelf - they look so lovely together. She also loves picking a camera to take out for the day, to see what wonderful things she might snap. Eli decided to put together a little collage of her camera collection, accompanied by a little personal history of each. Enjoy!

1. Kodak Brownie (1952 - 1967) : This was Eli's first camera of her collection, and quite possibly the most cute and aesthetic. Eli's mum passed it down her, which makes it really special. The black plastic body and rope cord are part of this Brownie's charm.

2. Polaroid EE33 (1976 - 1977) : This is Eli's favourite polaroid. She picked up this boxey brown camera for only 5 euros at a market in Milan.

3. Diana Mini (original Dianas 1960s - diana mini 2010) : This is the analog film camera that Eli uses the most, and has had the most fun and rewarding photographs. It travels everywhere, everyday with Eli. Bought on a whim in Milan.

4. ISO Rapid I (1965) : This is Eli's second favourite looking camera. It's just so square and its black riveted body is quite classy. Eli bought this cutie for 5 euros at the same market in Milan.

5. Polaroid Impulse (1988) : Eli's first polaroid! It just looks so eighties - especially with the red stripe. Eli bought this polaroid at a thrift store for 15 euros.

6. Polaroid Colorpack 80 (1971 - 1976) : This polaroid preceedes the EE33, which is why they look quite similar. This polaroid was generously passed onto to Eli as a gift from her boyfriend's father. It was his camera during his youth.

Each camera has a story to tell, and
each camera is special to Eli, in its own way.
