Summer fluffing...

All my patriotic decorations have been packed up at home and I’ve pulled out a few of my favorite summer treasures. 

 A few of them were recent additions from estate sale land, including the sand pail shovel with the mermaid.
The shells were collected from our recent trip to Florida in April. The vintage sailboat teapot was a Goodwill steal. My grandmother had the exact same style teapot and I remember it fondly.
I’ve been picking aquarium figure and castles from estate sales. I just love their onion top shaped roofs.
 I’ve shared this picture in previous blog posts, but the little girl in the sunglasses is me with my Dad probably around 1970. Love those big purple sunglasses.
 I hope you are staying cool. Have a thrifty crafty weekend, friends.

Festivities at the Aframe

I hope everyone had a safe and happy 4th (or 3rd)!  
The annual Hess Lake Ring of Fire and fireworks was another fantastic event and gave me a great excuse to decorate the Aframe.

Like I need any excuses to decorate for a holiday (smile). 
On my previous post, I shared our pink flamingo inflatables found at Five Below.
Of course, I had to go back and get a few more.
We've been enjoying nature's fireworks every morning from the Aframe.  I hope your July has been good to you so far.
