Technically,
summer starts tomorrow
but for the past few days,
it has been
beating on the door
with doubled fists!
If this is any indication,
it seems we are in for
some very hot weather
in the coming months...
...but
the hot days do end
with a beautiful sky and
it is pure pleasure
to take in the view
from the front porch
each evening.
The red, white and blue of summer
carries over
into the dining room and
I have a few
small touches
to share with you.
My favorite nursery/boutique in town
has an annual
antiques show and sale
on their grounds.
I was able to find
this great small galvanized tub
there this past weekend.
It is a perfect fit for
a gallon pot of coreopsis and
a few flags
on the dining room table.
The Captain
drilled some holes
in a piece of an old fence post
and made the sweetest standard
for my old flags.
Even though
Bitty Morsel is
strictly a Halloween kind of girl,
she still likes to
stick around and
take advantage
of all the other holidays.
A statement
that stays up
all year long.
Come on through
to the kitchen...
Goatzie
has given
Raggedy Ann and Andy
a ride to
the market...
...where they picked up
a little
afternoon delight.
Please
stop by again.
I'm sure
there will always be
something else
to see...
...after all,
summer is
just
getting
started.
...Judy...

Every thing looks so warm and inviting. Decorated so nice.
ReplyDeleteI feel summer here is gonna be the hottest for some reason.
God Bless America for sure . I like how it's framed and hung over the door.
Hi Judy, I absolutely love your home and all your Patriotic decorations. In fact, you are making me want to get some more out. Hope you are melting away in the heat, like much of northern Ca. is. In our old town it is in the low 100's-something that didn't happen very often. We might get to the high 90's this week. Stay cool.

Everything looks wonderful. I love how you incorporate a Patriotic theme. The kitchen is so charming and well put together - Bravo!
ReplyDeleteIt is hot, hot, here too and I absolutely hate it. I would like to find something about the heat to enjoy but it is difficult and makes working and enjoying the garden very hard to do.
Take care and stay cool.
Love your home,especially your amazing kitchen,so lovely!Happy Summer to you!Hugs.
ReplyDeleteJudy, I loved all your flowers/containers with little flag tucked in them. Your home is beautiful. I loved seeing all your decorations. It's going to be a pretty summer there. Sky photos are some of my favorite shots. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
ReplyDeleteLove all your american decor Judy. So sweet. The antique bucket with flowers and flags for your centerpiece is gorgeous. Love that so much. Have a wonderful start to summer.

Oh Judy, everything is perfectly put together. Looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI certainly hope that we do not have another HOT summer like last year. I'll be working in the garden in the dark.
Love your kitchen - it's great!
Stay cool and rest when it's super HOT.
Hugs,
Mary
Judy,
ReplyDeleteO MY!! I loved this post!! I so enjoyed seeing the inside of your beautiful cottage. I love the color of your rooms and all the charming items that you have on display!! Everything looks just perfect! Thanks so much for sharing your lovely home with us!!
Hugs,
Debbie
It's all wonderful! so fun looking at every little thing! I have the same exact apron as you do hanging in your kitchen on the door! It's the one with chicken on it and the red plaid ruffle around the bottom.. mine hangs in my kitchen too! How funny is that? What a great idea for the table leg (or spindle?) with the holes drilled in it for the flags. Love that. Hotter than heck here too in central Oregon.. seems awfully early for it and I'm not a lover of this heat. Am holed up in the house today! xoxo Marilyn
ReplyDeleteThanks, Marilyn. Funny thing about that apron. I have never worn it!. I have a black one, that I picked up in Alaska years ago, and it feels so comfortable that I just wear it. Doesn't look as pretty though..Have a wonderful week..xxoJudy
DeleteLOVE your style. That post for the flags is just fabulous but my favorite picture is of the yarn ball wreath. I have a bowl full of those and never pictured them made into a wreath. Just unique and fun. Great post!
