I Still love Owls
On my trip to Home Goods this week I was hunting for Valentine's decor. I came up empty on that end, but I did find something I'm in love with. I got this totally adorable owl necklace tree. It's so cute on my dresser. Don't you love? The owl trend is alive and strong at the Loop house.

New Camera (Drooling Permitted)
I haven't been able to post any of my own projects this week because my camera totally died over the weekend. It was very poor timing because I wasn't ready to pick out a new one and I wasn't sureif I was ready for a DSLR. Plus, one of my good friends is getting married this weekend and I HAD to have a camera.
I spend way more than I ever anticipated, but I really think I got the absolute best camera I could ever get, and I won't have to replace it for a long long time. I hope it really improves the quality of my blog, as well.

Here she is! What should I name her????
Sony alpha NEX-5 Compact Interchangeable Lens Digital Camera w/18-55mm Zoom Lens
It is the latest in camera technology. It has the performance of a DSLR, in about half the size and weight. I got an interchangeable lens and it takes full HD movies. One of ythe best parts for me is it takes great low-light pictures since I am usually a night time crafter. It has continuous shooting up to 7 fps so no more blurry Rolly pics!
And it takes 3-D pictures viewable on a 3-D television. I didn't even know that was possible! Im headed out to buy a memory card tonight (because the one I got doens't fit) and I'll put up some pics for you to see!
Target Shopping Trip (DEALS!)
I am not a couponer although I totally envy people who are awesome at it. I am much more a bargain hunter. Today I went to target on my lunch and got some amazing deals. My work is in a pretty economically depressed neighborhoood so there is always tons of clearance. I headed over to get a card for a wedding I am heading to this weekend and boy am I glad I did!

This lamp was originally $40 and I got it for $9.98. We are in so desperate need of lamps, but I couldn't bring myself to spend this much. I got two of them!
I got two of these shade to go with it for only $4.98 each.
Altogether this would have cost over $120, but I got everything for $30. I can't believe it. I also got tons of picture frames I'll be posting later once I take some pics. What sales have you found lately?
Help Me Pick a Camera (Please)
Ok all my camera ladies, I need your help. My camera broke and I need to get a new one ASAP. I am trying to read views online, but I am totally overwhelmed. I'm not a great photo taker, but I would like a decent camera as I try to improve my skills. I am on the fence on if I should spring for the DSLR or if I should get a nicer point and shoot.
What do you think? I'm seriously open to suggestions. The main things I care about are optical zoom because it hard to get those little details of my crafts and home improvement ideas and I want it to not be ridiculously delayed when I try to take the picture. Here are a few I am considering. Any comments are greatly appreciated!
The Meg Look is Back!
I have a really hard time finding clothes. The fact that no piece of clothing has ever been made to fit a real person is the least of my problems. I feel like I have a very specific look. I really know what I like and it makes it tough. If I don't love something I won't wear it. It literally will effect my whole day if I am wearing something I don't love. I can't help it. Thanksfully, I finally found a few things that scream Meg to me!
What are some of your favorite things that make you dread the day they wear out?

These lovely items are all from NY and Company using this great coupon:
Shabby Apple
I ordered my first dress ever from Shabby Apple! I'm so excited. I have a super tough time with dresses because I'm short, but with a large chest. So when I buy petite I pretty much can't breath and when I buy average it falls off of my small shoulders. Luckily, my awesome friend Debbie has been altering my clothes for me so I decided to go ahead and take the plunge.
True story: I went to church with the founders of Shabby Apple way back when I was first married. And I know a lot of the models. Yes, they are that gorgeous in real life. And most of them have had multiple babies. Darn those amazing genes!
Have you made any awesome purchases lately?

Jo and the Amazing Technicolor Handbag
I am not a purse girl. That may be some type of violation of the girl code, but it's mostly because I am SUPER picky when it comes to purses. I mean you're carrying it around all the time so I think it should be a great example of your style and personality.
My current purse is starting to fall apart and I'm not really going for the message of, "I am a raggedy mess and am falling apart." So the search has begun. I am having a super tough time. I know I want a bright color like teal, green, or yellow. I also want ruffles or a rosette of some type. And the purse must zip closed at the top. I live near DC and I will totally get robbed with some giant bag hanging all open for the world to see.
Right now I am obsessing with this camera bag from Jo Totes. I know it's for cameras, but it meets all of my qualifications. And this inside is houndstooth! I LOVE me some houndstooth. The real problem? Jo hasn't had it in stock in like a month! I keep checking back and the expected date keeps getting further and further away. C'mon Jo! Help a sister out! Do you have a dream item you are having trouble getting a hold of?
