Oh.my.goodness.

It is the 1st of July! That means only 3 more days until 4th of July celebrations! Naturally, I would be excited about the fabulous events that accompany this day, but frankly, I feel like doing nothing, going nowhere and only maybe *watching* the fireworks from my tv. Sad, yes I know, but I am completely miserable. However, I will be having family come on the fourth, equipped with a cache of fireworks to blow up in my very own backyard. I can't help but get just a little excited over this. After all, who doesn't like to blow things up, in the name of the patriotism? Exactly. Then, I thought, "I have to come up with a list (love those things) of some 4th of July must-haves for my people. I was also seeing a lot of inspirational 4th-inspired items that just set me into consumer mode

how about these ah-mazing earrings from nanouke. oh yes!
