Vintage Inspiration Friday #15 Cream and Sugar with that Tree?

I'm a collector of sugars and creamers.

All kinds; but I really love the silver sets this time of year,

and part of my collection is adorning

my living room Christmas tree.

A few years ago I had out my big tree and used more of them,

but this year I've selected a few to give

my smaller tree in the Living Room

 a definite "shine"!

I like the combination of the silver, creams, and golds

 with the burlap,

embossed vintage Shiny Brites and some glitter snowflakes.

And look who has the place of honor

A sweet little angel that I received

from my very sweet friend Dorthe.

She creates the most amazing dolls,

driftwood angels and magical fairies!

Please Help; I Need Your Advice!

Obviously this is not a picture of me...

although I would like to be blond for a day.

No, I need some help from all you peeps out there in blogland

that have Digital SLR Cameras.

Santa has me at the top of his "good list"

and a camera upgrade is what I want.

Right now I have a great Kodak "bridge" camera;

a point and shoot that's top of the line.

But I'm really wanting some of that photo magic

that you can only get with a better camera and a macro lens.

So...Please let me know what kind of camera you are using

 to get these great shots

with so much clarity and detail.

Canon?

Nikon?

What model?

I'm leaning toward a Canon Rebel T2i with a macro lens,

but I can't tell Santa to place the order until I know what you all love.

PLEASE HELP!!!

(actually, this does look more like me)

Oh, and I must confess, I'm not a techy...

Matter of fact,

I need something "user friendly"

if you know what I mean.

OK, I'm counting on you for some good advice.

Thanks in advance!

(Please tell me the pros and cons of your camera)

love ya,

Debra
