    A Happy Little Sunflower Vignette

    Published by Pam Kessler | 207 words. · About 2 minutes to read this article. - 19 Comments

    Don't you just love summer!

    Sunflowers . . . Sunshine . . . Suntans

    The three S's.

    This summer has been so mild (knock on a vintage wooden bread board) that it has me thinking of fall earlier than usual though.

    Screech.

    No, I'm not going to get all cornstalks, cider and pumpkins on you. Yet.

    But I did have to force myself to not put a bowl of apples and a mum on my kitchen table.

    For right now, I'll try to savor the last bit of summer.

    The sailboat in the photos is the one I made from tree branches and some vintage ticking fabric a few years ago.

    And I also have a tutorial on how to make the equally easy thermos lamp.

    And just about anything else you see in this photo can be found here on my blog somewhere. It's almost all thrifted stuff except for my mom's kitchen table and the black chairs.

    I just didn't feel like bombarding you with links to every last thing I own 🙂

    Has your mind started wandering to fall yet? Or are you fully immersed in summer?

      Fall can take its time. We get such a late start on our Summers here in the mountains that I soak up every little bit I can plus my garden is so gorgeous right now that I can't bear the thought of the barrenness of Winter (which Fall reminds me that Winter is coming). My veggies just started to ripen and I am enjoying all the fresh bounty. So no, no Fall hankerings here. 😀

      That sailboat is adorable Pam! I have the perfect spot in my store for a Fall display but I must resist for a few more weeks! I keep telling myself just enjoy Summer, it will be gone before we know it!
