Seaside S*U*M*M*E*R Vignette in progress...
I like to create small vignettes in the entryway of our home, for each upcoming Holiday/Season ~ using mostly VINTAGE FINDS... Now that the Red-White-Blue of 4th of July is over and S*U*M*M*E*R is in "Full~Swing" ~ I find myself inspired by ViNtaGe Seaside Collectibles...
"Working On"
August's Seaside Summer Vignette...
I can't believe I "Almost" brought this FaB
ChiPPy-White Lantern to the Door County Show!!!
Sooooo glad I came to my senses!*!*! An Over-The-Top ViNtaGe F*I*N*D ~ netted a few years back in New Hampshire...
