WAH-WAH-Wednesday: Patriotism

So, this can sorta be seen as a Patriotic outfit. We've got the red, the white and the blues.

Again, back to my "I NEED A KAMERA" post, I had to experiment with the lighting and setting, because my camera is not the best.

And now close-ups of one of my favorite treasures. A shop in Murray, KY custom made these types of wooden-purses. This was my grandmother's purse.

 It has my Mom and Aunt's name on it:

 So cute!

 Happy belated 4th.

WAH-WAH-Wednesday: "I Need a Kamera"

A better camera is something I need quite badly to get better photos. But until then... I will leave you with this one outfit post pic:

"I need a camera to my eye

To my eye, reminding

Which lies I have been hiding

which echoes belong

I've counted out days

to see how far

I've driven in the dark

with echoes in my heart"

In a related note, here's a great 30 Rock quote:
