Christmas List Check-off Help :: The Artsy Photographer.

Attention Shoppers...Cartwheels In My Mind encourages all of you to take the virtual tour through the magical World Wide Web where we will be stopping at some of the coolest places that carry the exact gifts you need for each person on your list. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Because my name is Cheryl, and I'll be your tour guide today. 

Today's virtual shopping trip will be all about finding that perfect gift for the artsy photographer friend. I decided on this theme for today because I feel like anyone that is reading this blog either is or knows someone that fits the bill perfectly. So let's surprise them with the best gift ever this year!

First up...How adorable are these little Camera Zipper Pulls from fredflare.com?

And then there is this super cute Camera Photo Album from Anthropologie.

 
Speaking of Anthropologie, how AMAZING are these Well Read Pinhole Cameras made out of old books? 

 
Ok, (This is fun, right!? I'm LOVING shopping for everyone else. My dream job is to be a personal shopper, by the way. Anyone want to hire me? ;D) next let's talk about camera cases. To find a couple that I felt were totally fun and unique I went into Etsy and started scouring all the shops. And here's what I found:

1. I am LOVING this little green crocheted purse...and even though it was made with the intention of being a clutch, I think it would be perfect for holding one of my smaller cameras when we are headed to the zoo or something and don't want to bother with the big camera. And it looks like it might fit in the diaper bag, so double bonus! :)

2. But as much as I loved the above bag, I NEED this Red Vintage Luggage Bag from GetReadySetGO on Etsy to use as my camera case. need. So so loving it. Can you imagine opening this on Christmas day? I'd just die of excitement.

Check out the rest of her shop as well...super cool stuff all the way through! She adds little decals to old luggage and the end result is just amazing.

Alrighty, speaking of bags, what do you think of this Crocheted Camera Cell Phone Case from skymagenta on Etsy?? Oh my gosh, PERFECTION is what I think! 

Now I just HAVE to share a camera strap. Because even though I know that almost everyone else on the planet has one, I do not. So that means there should be a few stragglers out there that are like me and could use one too. :)

This Psychedelic Seventies Camera Strap from Howard Avenue is super retro and fun: 

But just in case you are looking for a wristband strap instead of the full sized ones, check out Studio ALX on etsy...They have a bunch of funky patterned ones, including this one made from my favorite fabric EVER!

   
And finally, no gift sharing post would be complete without a little bit of jewelry right? Well, I have just the photos you need to be drawn in:

First up, a Polaroid Necklace from AngelMonsterr on Etsy:

And another Camera Necklace from BabyLovesPink on Etsy:

And then this Camera Ring from CreativeAccidents on Etsy (only $7.25!!):

and finally, one last Polaroid Necklace...only this time it's wooden (From Seattle on Etsy.)

Ok, so remember how I insinuated that the jewelry were the last ones to share? Well I implied wrong. Because I found a couple more things that I just HAD to bring to you. Extra Inspiration is always good, right? :)

Hopefully you agree, because I found the coolest little Camera Gift-Card Holder (I would totally use it to hold my credit cards once the gift cards were used up if I received one.) from One Late Night on etsy.

And wouldn't this Fake Tattoo Sleeve from Fredflare.com (yes, I'm, obsessed with fred!) make the coolest prop in an engagement photoshoot where the subjects were artsy?

Speaking of cool props...here's a photo of some really cool Mustache Photo Props by HerFlyingHorses on Etsy. And every photographer needs props, right?

And this time, I really am going to stop. I'd love to keep going (this has turned out to be one of my favorite types of posts since opening Cartwheels...I may just have to figure out a way to incorporate it into the site year-round.) but I'll be back very soon with more to share for other people you are shopping for. :)
Which reminds me...I got one request for organizational stuff, a couple for home decor and one other one for unique jewelry...and I just wanted to say first thanks for the feedback, and second...I'm on them all! It's so great to hear back from you and know you are excited about a feature on Cartwheels. I'm always open to suggestions so don't hesitate! :)

Happy Friday everyone!

P.S. Be sure to check the site frequently next week...I'm going to be doing some fun give-aways for Christmas! :)
