It’s still technically spring, and we’re still having spring like weather here in Portland, Oregon.
Yesterday was nice, but today it’s rainy again.
Regardless, I started adding some summer-y changes around the house the minute Memorial Day weekend arrived!
{Old hymnal pages were crafted into a sweet and simple s-u-m-m-e-r banner
and hang from a vintage drying rack along with some vintage linens.
This hangs over an antique trunk and my mama’s old suitcase, quilt and photo.}
{This old drying rack, turned photo gallery with the addition of some chicken wire, gets changed frequently. For summer some beach themed photos and décor seemed fitting.}
{The mantel was given some beach-y touches too.}
{The driftwood boats and shell topped bottle were made by me last summer.}
I love summer!
Have you made any summer-y changes at your place?
Friday’s comin’, friends!
I hope yours is a happy one
and
may your weekend be blessed too!

I love everything beachy! The driftwood boats are wonderful! Did you show how you made them? I'll have to look around a bit more!
ReplyDeleteJust came over from Stuff and Nonsense, and I love your blog! I am now following you!!
ReplyDeleteI love the driftwood boats! Those would look amazing in our beach house!!
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful display! And gotta love our Bi-Polar weather here!
I just read your comment on my blog, I am at City Harvest Church, Pastor Bob MacGregor! I met your daughter & son-in-law at our Summer Youth Camp with Pastor Cody Williams, I was his assistant at the time! I have been very blessed by this blog! I thank you for your obedience to our Father!
ReplyDeleteIt is very funny that we have met this way! Well I am excited to meet you at some point! I am sure it will be soon since we are in the same circles! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI keep forgetting to ask if you've ever watched Portlandia and if you think it is a comedy or a documentary. You know I love your style. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Elizabeth! I love all of your summery touches! Maybe decorating for summer will help it to come more quickly! Those little driftwood boats are adorable! You made them? They look like antique folk art! So, when am I going to finally meet you face to face? I am planning on having a booth at the Vintage Street Faire in Camas in August. I hope you'll come by and say hello! Have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteBest Wishes and Blessings,
Amanda
Love all of your summer touches, specially the vintage suitcase in the corner, sweet.
ReplyDeleteI notice the sails on the boats are burlap, nice!!

So pretty! love the 'summer' bunting...great recycle project...now i need to find an old hymnal!
ReplyDeleteLove your beach touches. I'm trying to add some here too. It's a happy look to me. The way you used the old drying rack is perfect, and I love the sail looking banner.
ReplyDeletelove the gentleness here....and the beautiful pics....Spring for us jumped right into summer. Weather's been hot, muggy and wet. Still....the flowers are out in full bloom and everything is rich with life and hope
