Old friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days.

An old day passes, a new day arrives.

The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend – or a meaningful day.

Project 365 Photo a day: 365/106

While on holiday I was constantly looking for props for my photo shoots. My photo of the day for today is one off the props I brought back home…

We went to a Farmers market on the first Saturday of our holiday. The whole time I was looking for something to use in my photo shoots.  I saw quite a few things but I had to keep in mind that I have a budget and space in the car was minimal. So whatever I buy must be small enough to fit in my bag or at my feet. I found these four hearts with Love, Hope, Peace and Joy in the last row of little stalls. I asked hubby if he can have a look at it. I wanted to know if I would be able to take the four hearts apart and use the separately.

I spotted some similar hearts made out of metal and wire at a few other tables too. The big difference was the other hearts was single and they cost around R40 per heart and it was approximately the size of the Hope heart. I wanted Afrikaans and English ones so it started working out a bit expensive. I  still had my whole holiday left and did not want to spend all my money at a Farmers market on the first day.

I used two of these metal hearts in my photo shoots over the weekend…

Love, Hope, Peace and Joy
