This may look familiar to you if you caught my post on making charm bracelets earlier this week, there sister beads! Well sort of, they're some beads Catherine and I bought when she was visiting last week and we did some beading.

VSCO Cam Freebies

Several weeks ago I wrote about using and loving the VSCO app, and I thought I'd give a little heads up about a limited edition preset pack (which sounds like something Uncle Rico from Napoleon Dynamite would try to sell you--it's not) VSCO created in conjunction with the menswear designer Street Etiquette. The price? Why, it's free. You can download the SE preset pack from VSCO Cam's in-app store.

If the look of the app's presets has gotten you all intrigued about what Street Etiquette is all about, there's a nice feature on the VSCO Journal about SE founders Joshua Kissi and Travis Gumbs. You can also visit the Street Etiquette website or follow Joshua and Travis on Instagram @streetetiquette.

While we're talking free, VSCO is currently offering a free Levi's Commuter preset pack available for download through their in-app store. And, in general, their presets are quite reasonably priced...like 99 cents. Here are a couple Mt. Rainier pics I edited using the two free apps. Have fun!

As the summer winds down, we've been filling up on day trips and mini adventures. This young tiger is Berani (I think) from the Point Defiance Zoo in Tacoma. Mom and I took an afternoon to wander around and were lucky enough to see the teenage tiger boys, Dumai and Berani, frolicking in their pen, playing in the water, and jumping into the bamboo. They were a hoot, like really giant kittens...
