I’m sitting here on an unusually quiet afternoon. The sun shining bright outside and the warm breeze streaming through the windows. It’s late summer and I’m feeling a little nostalgic of yet another season about to leave us. I’m thinking of all the little unchecked items in our summer bucket list and feeling a little guilty for not being able to accomplish everything the kiddies wanted to do this summer. But hubby reminded that we are a family, and though summer ends and the routine captures us once again, we have a lifetime to check the items in our list.
Just as the seasons change so will the mantel, so I wanted to share some photos I took before I change it up again…:)
You might recall some of these photos from the Canadian Blogger Home Tours
I wanted to show you how simple it is to make a serene vignette by simply adding a few items from around your home.
Old books a few cloche and some fresh flowers from the garden.
I simply placed some of the beautiful French script I picked up from Scott Antique Market inside this old window frame.
I have been collecting old clocks from thrift stores and I love displaying various items under the glass cloche.
I’m going to miss these when they’re gone,
so why not capture them on photos while I can right?
I will miss summer, but I’m looking forward to sharing more often with you.
Thank you so much for sticking around.
much love,

I am bitter sweet about the passing of summer…. Summer means more relaxed days, meals, life. My boys are sadly young men how and the house remains basically the same. Missing the sound of kids scampering about. Our Bella came over quite a bit this summer and I was happy for it.
But I am looking forward to cooler climes here in North Central Florida… and cozy décor 🙂
Hugs, Gee

Your mantel is just so lovely!! I have an old window and I’ve been toying with taking the glass out off it. (makes me feel safer) Now that I see your pretty, empty frame I think I’m going to go for it!
