Summer fun is having lunch with your dear friends...
being graced with little
homemade gifts
like this sweet apple cozy made for me by Lori...
this darling fabric covered tin full of adorable fat eighths
and trims... from Nanette...
a pinwheel pincushion with homemade pins... from me to them...
and a pile of vintage aprons to share from
our cute friend... Barbara from Texas...
Summertime is also a perfect time for
ice cream...
and stopping off at your favorite antique store...
where you find treasures like this picnic basket
that reminds you of the one that your grandmother used
on those special picnics you had with her growing up.
I even found a thermos or two that was like the one that my dad
carried to work with him each day.
I totally love the old tins...
and vintage magazines...
not to mention... linen towels with beautiful stitchery...
which ended up going home with me!
How about the newly painted vintage furniture...
that just happens to be that perfecr color of blue...
It was hard for me not to take this home with me!!!
Then... there is the birdcage that beckons you to
"take me home"...
or... the sweet
little rocker that tries to tie itself to your heartstrings.
These are the items that made their way into Lori's heart
and then her car. Sweet!
No day would be complete without stopping off
at one of our favorite quilt shops...
"Material Girls"...
where I spied all of these "Darling" pillows!
Nadine always has the place decorated so cute with projects galore!
Hope you have enjoyed being with me for "A Little Summertime Fun"!
Until next time ~

Sounds like the perfect day! What fun photos you had to share, too!
Hello Rae Ann, I enjoyed your post....loved them all...gorgeous gifties you all received...hugs lyn
Great fun Rae Ann! Thanks for taking us along.
Nanette told me the three of you were going out to lunch yesterday. I sent happy thoughts your way!! It makes me so happy to visulize my girler friends doing fun things together.
Hmm, that little pink chest would have had to come home with me and I have spied the lovely cream tray table behind it. Oh dear! Choice. What a dilemma that would have been. Thank you for the lovely day out.
Oh, what beautiful things! Please tell me how you make homemade pins......they look so nice!
I'm sick about having to leave early. That shop looks so incredibly cute. I feel awful. I've got to make a trip there. Thanks again for my pincushion. My kids can't keep their hands off it! Star Valley here I come (soon).
Loved your day and thanks for sharing. I especially loved the pin cushion with homemade pins. Is there a pattern (for the pin cushion AND the pins!)? I love that tea cup at the end and the pillows! Thanks again for sharing all the lovely things!
Love all your presents. Love the pin cushion you gave your friends. Would love to make one like it. It is darling.
Looks like a great day with friends. Love the pins...how did you do them? Glad that you like the aprons, I had to share with someone that would appreciate them.
Enjoy the rest of summer....school starts here today for the teachers, sure am glad that I retired and I get to have funtime with the grandkiddos instead!
Hugs, B
