  Nice one Jill. I love pictures that invite you in; this chair is so inviting that I can almost smell the flowers & hear the bees. Kev

  Thanks so much Kevin, Murry, and Francis! Your comments mean so much!
I see I made a mistake in my description. I use the Daylab for the sx70s not the Vivitar. Oops! They're very similar machines but take different Polaroid films.
