Ode to Summer

Today I had a minor freak-out that it's the last day of June. 
holy moly, people! where does the time go?
I know...you'd think I was a middle schooler faced with going back to school--- when will I grow out of it? Have you grown out of it?
As a counter balance, I thought I would post about summer. AKA, Operation Summer-Basking. 

A sunny, yellow/white dining room---
about as summery as they come


I love love love these lanterns. My favorite are the teardrop ones, which can be found at Z Gallerie.com:

...for only $9.99!


If the colors aren't summery enough for you, check out the surf-board art!


Yes-Please to everything in this room




Love the summer cabin feel

Moving the party back outside:


Keep an eye out next time you go thrifting!


Places like Ebay are full of vintage fans. 
Just keep them away from your children, I suppose---look how huge the spaces are! 
(Was there no such thing as baby proofing in the 50s?)

Happy Summer! 
With any luck, we still have a good 2 months of heat+pool time+outdoor lounging
Not too shabby!

These are lovely images. I love the beautiful table outside. Such a super way to spend a brunch enjoying the outdoors.

those lanterns are great too! I love Z Gallerie! What an awesome price for them too!

Happy July 1st!!! Enjoy it!
