Where has the Time gone??

a Grand 4th
(Tablecloth by Moda Design, Moda Fabric. They nail reproduction items every time.)
As perfect a vase as I've seen.
A-maz-ing, inviting retro grass green patio set perched on my mom & dad's porch.
Repurposing done well, "all" in a day's work.
Love how she paired the vintage pop bottle crates with the cart. Love.

Retro drinks to quench our thirsts...
found nestled in ice inside a repurposed washtub.
This way for fun on the fourth...a over the top cool table mom picked up at Farm Chicks!
My mom's school girl holding two 48 state flags; the big one from Pink, the little from a friend.
An old watering rescued watering tub, all decked out for the fourth.
We wrote our names in sparklers...in the heat of the day. It's still fun.
After a long day of sun and play, we headed home with cupcakes sent by Oma in my lap.
We arrived home at dusk, all ready for a marshmallow roast with our neighbors. The essentials...huge and medium marshmallows in my vintage Pyrex bowl; skewers (not sticks this year, though we had plenty in the yard to draw from) and waving flags displayed in one of my many prized old Ball jars.
Our toasting sticks at attention, ready for the little (and big) toasters...
My "Economy" purple hued canning jar has been used for a flower vase and now this-how versatile are these?!? Can you tell I've renewed my love affair with old jars...

Pink.
154 Madison (1 block west of the Old Spaghetti Factory in downtown Spokane, WA)
Wed.-Sat. 10 a.m. - 4 p.m.
I want to go back. Now.
Hope you enjoyed the tour...there is so much more to see, around every corner...the second time I went back with my sister, I found things I hadn't seen the first time...enjoy taking it all in for yourself!! PS...does Finn need an F bigger than he is? Yes, I think he might...
My mom got there early; I got there later than I was supposed to. But here is her incredible find. The cart and the basket are making their way to her kitchen. Even cooler, the cart was in a Flea Market Style photo shoot. I personally love the vintage linoleum piece under the cart!
Beautiful pink peonies at the checkout; love Celeste's idea of the funnel to hold the flowers in the Ball jar.
Oh the choices!!
These were the particular stamps I purchased, my mom went home with several more...stilll kind of wishing I'd bought the ICED and the 8for1 and the Sara Lee...
I simply had to take this home with me! I found out it was Celeste's, who had originally bought it from Nancy of Forget Me Not in Coeur d' Alene. I always end up with either of their amazing items, one way or another!
I know! I love it! I'm going to keep the boys crayon boxes on it in the living room for easy access for coloring...and display some of my vintage crayon box collection too. The back of the display has a chart for proper display on each shelf. Love it.
