Hello my sweet friends – thank you for stopping by.
This weekend, we took a mini trip to our family cottage for a couple of days. Even though it’s located only an hour and a half away from our house, it always feels like we are far away vacationing.
The kiddies love swimming in the pool and going fishing with their dad, while I catch up on my reading or just sit back and relax by the pool or beach. This particular weekend however, we also got a chance to visit a community garage sale.
Hubby found several beautiful jars for me for only 25 cents each!! I love the old rusty lids and the beautiful blue glass with its old petina. These flowers are in full bloom right now and they look perfect in the jars. Do any of you know what are they called?
I also found this vintageThe PoP Shoppe bottle and this old flour sifter…
Not sure of the value these old bottles may have, if any, but their imperfections make them so beautiful in my eyes.
Even though I love my finds, a garage sale is not the funnest thing for little ones and so it was their turn to have some summer time fun.
But here’s a little secret….
…this Mama loves the beach too.
Probably more than they do…
(3 of the many sand sculptures
we have done over the years)
A new week is upon us and I have some exciting news to share with you in the next couple of days, so please make sure you come back to visit so we can celebrate together!
I look forward to seeing you….:)
Have a great day!
much love,
Lucy
Beautiful beautiful beautiful!!
super 🙂
What a beautifully photographed post! I used to be fun at the beach, but not this much fun!!! Very creative sand sculptures. Love it!
looks like a ton of fun…and I am not much of a beach girl…maybe if I could make sculputes like yours I would change my mind about the sand!!
The flowers might be Queen Anne’s Lace. I’m not sure though. Looks like a wonderful time at the beach.
The flowers are Queen Anne’s Lace – growing prolifically along roadsides and in fields everywhere this time of year. Gorgeous pictures.
WONDERFUL!!
Looks like you had a great weekend.
Queen Anne’s Lace. It’s blooming here. You can press them for wintertime snowflakes.
Fantastic sand sculptures!
The PoP Shoppe – I remember that place when I was a kid…I have some very fond memories of those pops. What an awesome find!!
Yes, Queen Anne’s Lace! I just found it on my property for the first time in 18 yrs. yesterday. Yeah! And, it dries beautifully but needs a little help to stay open w/o being flat. I too collect and love blue jars and have a few of the old flour sifters. I’m a new subscriber and this is my first post to anyone, ever! I think I’m in the right place. Thanks for you gorgeousish photos too.
I was totally baffled when it wanted a profile—duh—so now, hopefull, I won’t be “anonymous” anymore.
Looks like your having a great summer! great pics 🙂
Queens Anne’s Lace like everyone said. When we were little we used to put them in water colored with food coloring and they changed the flowers those colors. It was a fun little project, might be good to do with the kids.
Queen Anne’s Lace! I asked my dad to stop the car at a stop sign while we were on vacation in Pennsylvania so I could pick some off the side of the road!
Love the flowers and lovely sand creations! May I ask what type of flowers are those and where did you purchase the vase? Thanks!
beautiful photos, as always!
Lol, when I was growing up my Mom told us those flowers were called skunk weed! They really don’t have a nice smell, but they sure are pretty.
And that Pop Shoppe bottle! How cool is that! I haven’t seen one of those in YEARS! Great find!
You should have seen my face when I saw that The Pop Shoppe bottle. I remember going to one when I was 3 and 4 years old. Then it just disappeared from my area.
I just got a case of Pop Shoppe bottles in an original Pop Shoppe crate at an auction. If anyone is interested in buying them email me. Jengosnell@hotmail.com
Have a nice day!
