    A Happy Little Sunflower Vignette

    Published by Pam Kessler | 207 words. · About 2 minutes to read this article. -

    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?

      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!

      It surely has been veering to fall! Been looking on Pinterest for inspiration. Hot as Hades here.

      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.

      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!
