This is me at age 8.
With my braided hair and dress,

 Anne of Green Gables, back then.

I'm only just pruned down and branched

out. The real ME--back here--is just the

same.”

― L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables  

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.
