Summer's Here!

It's been hot but I'm not complaining! I love the change in seasons.

I had to keep this vintage chippy duck planter and this patio set. I have been enjoying them sitting outside drinking my coffee.

On the Fourth of July I decorated mason jars with some burlap and vintage trim to hold patriotic flowers. It was a perfect addition to our sun room.

Even though it's hot out doesn't mean I don't have Christmas on my mind. Here's some pictures of recent treasures....

These are two more finds that I added to my collection. My cow creamer collection seems to be growing rather quickly. 

And just today I added this pitcher to my collection.

I found it in a basement covered in dirt and filled with hardened dirt. I absolutely love shopping for treasures in a dirty house. I always find the best stuff! All it took was a little soap and water and it cleaned up perfectly. It now sits on a shelf in my living room with my ironstone pitchers.

Last week I found a hysterical book, A Thousand Ways to Please a Husband with Bettinas Best Recipes. It was pretty faded and worn but it was definitely something I couldn't pass up. 

Last Sunday was my first time on the #vintagedecortour @vintagedecortour on Instagram. It was super fun and I met lots of talented people. It will run on Sundays and I'm going to be participating again this Sunday.  Here's last week's photo....

Here's another photo I shared to Instagram this week. I'm really loving vintage floral paintings.

There are still lots of garage and estate sales out there. Just grab your mask/hand sanitizer and go! As of now the Elkhorn Flea Market is still scheduled for August 9 and 3 French Hens is still scheduled for August 8. Make sure to check their websites for any changes.

Happy treasure hunting!
