my purple collection


This post and photos were inspired by
 
Random Color Prompt from the blog Daisy Yellow Art.
My mom made this purse.
My mom made the necklace,
and she made the blue blanket too.


Summer is going from
one air conditioned place to another.

My purple nail polishes


Summer is  usually when we go on trips.
My thrifted purple suede boots

Summer is
  when we see lots of live bands outside.
My friend made this purse.

 Summer is mosquitoes I loathe.
My mom made these earrings.

Summer is unbearable sweat.
My thrifted purse

Summer is heat induced headaches.
Earrings on top made by my cousin.

The triangle earrings were my grandmother's.



Summer is
 maybe going to the pool,
 or water slide.

My purple collection of tights/leggings


Summer is when my family has time off of school.


These little girls are complete strangers.
I took their photos because

they looked cute.
They were dancing to the band,
 at the outdoor concert.


My collection of purple books.

...Seb Hunter:Guitar & vocals. Can play bar chords. Can sing high harmonies. Speaks like a child. Short hair, but almost over eyes. Prone to wetting pants if things are getting too overwrought... by Seb Hunter
...I hung up and reluctantly turned my mind to ever Heavy Metal fan's ultimate weapon of choice- our sonic call to-arms, our horizontal phallic light saber-the electric guitar....by Seb Hunter


My art journal pages 
Summer is lots of art journaling classes.

Summer is blankets on grass,
bare feet, tank tops, sandals, shorts,
sprinklers, outdoor gathering, and heat.

  3. My summers keep changing. This is definitely the summer of cooking, blog bravery, and playing cello. I don't go to concert anymore because HH can't deal with crowds or loud noises, but I sure am enjoying your photos of them!

  8. I wasn't really into purple, but then I ended up wearing it to prom. It's actually a pretty awesome color. I especially love purple lipstick. My goodness, those purple suede boots of yours are insane in the best way possible.

    May the force be with you.

  14. Your puple boots are fabulous! It's strange that I "came here" yesterday, and didn't see this post, and now it's here since the 6th! Don't know what happened!

  17. I love that purse your friend made. I have a brightly printed cotton version my sister brought me back from Africa. I use it as a lunch bag, not because I don't value it but because I get to see and use it every day (and it's easy to wash!)
