Mid-Summer Roost in the Cupboard

The end of July signals a change in the atmosphere for me. I'm one of those people that while I enjoy summer, I don't enjoy the heat and I have always looked forward to the slow slide to early fall. Don't get me wrong, summer has beautiful memories and moments, but the promise of more moderate temps of autumn pull me along. 

Floral and Ticking Summer Tablescape

My favorite print for all things summer is indigo ticking. I've said it before, dark blue ticking is like a "neutral", because it pairs with almost everything. 

You love florals? ...ticking pairs up. 

Paisley? ... ticking pairs up.

Plaids are your thing? ... ticking pairs up.

Vintage Baskets for Every Season

Hello friends, Welcome to our bimonthly gathering of vintage loving décor peeps. This is where we share how we use vintage pieces and collectibles in our home decorating.
