    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?

      I have just loved this summer of fun, so I'm not ready for fall yet...but I do see the apples on my trees telling me it's coming soon!

      I'm pretty good about keeping Summer minded right now. Then I get on Pinterest. And I start pinning Fall things like a madwoman.

      Love the sailboat!

      With our recent acquisition of our lake house, I'm totally not wanting summer to end...EVER! Kinda hard to avoid and I need Chris back to school so we can afford the a-frame cottage. I loved your sailboat last year and I'm really loving it even more this year. Now, I need a bouquet of sunflowers.

      What a pretty tablescape you've created, Pam! And yes, it feels more like September than the beginning of August, so I'm thinking fall already. I love the sailboat, and your thermos lamp looks adorable on your little cupboard!

      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!

      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. 😀
