Jackpot!!!

So tonight I made a chance visit to good old Value Village (said with a faux French accent), not sure what treasures i would find. Would i find a designer purse in the midst of all the tacky plastic ones or maybe a nice little outfit for my dear nephew? Well, tonight apparently, i must have come at the right time cause i found lots of interesting stuff.... I started with a game of Connect Four - and a copy of Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants, followed by this interesting teaspoon - don't ask me why i bought a teaspoon since that seems like an old ladyish thing to do - but it has this cute little frustrated dutch man on it - i have once again forgotten how to use the manual focus on my camera - poor Lauren and Rachel have tried to teach me many times but unfortunately, the specifics of this task are too much for an old antiquitated brain to remember.
Then some nice curtains for over my sink - improvisedly hung up but nevertheless, Dutch-like.
And the coup-de-gras... i've been looking for black high heeled shoes for a while - and these little pretties were on the shelf in the right size, in black and the good style - so Danielle was a happy one!
Okay, that's your weekly(once off) Value Village update..

Oh, your shoes are SO cute!! What a nice find!
Love Rachel

p.s.
Make sure your camera isn't set on the "Auto" function, press the MF button twice to get that little square in the middle of the screen and use the < and > buttons to adjust the distance depending on how far away the object is that you're focusing on....and click :) I hope that helps :)

Thanks you, my dearest... i have figured it out once again thanks to your help (oh ever patient one!) and it's working! I just have to remember not to use the normal "focuser" button...

I noticed that teaspoon on your bedside table (an odd place to keep such a thing!) and wondered about it.
