First I Spy I ever made!

Hi friends! Here’s the first I Spy page I ever made using found objects. These all came from fleas, rummages, thrifts, second hand sales of all kinds, items gifted and hand crafted!

I make I Spy pages out of my trinket collection!

Hi friends! This has become a hobby of mine, to make a lil I Spy pages every couple of months using items from my vastly growing trinket collection. These items are second hand from fleas, thrifts, estate sales, or rummages, passed on to me by loved ones, handmade, or found on the ground. If y’all enjoy them I’ll post more!

EDIT:

Thank you all for suggestions about my photos! I used to do really nice photos with 3 point lighting and my good Cannon, but the photos were seeming a bit too lush and I think people had a hard time relating to them. I was also accused of them being AI, so I deliberately switched to a more rustic and intentionally basic and shitty way of doing my photos. It has accomplished what I hoped it would accomplish - my cake orders are more approachable. I also work a full time job with a 3 hour round trip commute along with trying to run this business that has become so much bigger than I thought it would, and so I’m usually rushing to grab some quick photos before I have to deliver or have someone pickup the cake.
