These are two of seven barrels I have plants in around the yard.
I've added this red Volkswagen to my collection I have in my home office.
These are new and vintage postcards all have a common theme of being at the beach.
I found this brown and white Fire King mug with flowers at the secondhand store the other day. I've added it to my collection I now have the two above in this pattern.
I was walking out of the secondhand store and just happened to look back in the window and saw I had missed this paperweight so back in I went.
I found this 1976 Eaton's Spring Summer catalogue at a garage sale. It was fun to browse through it.
I'm guessing this picture was taken in Sechelt, British Columbia but don't hold me to it I could be totally wrong.
Hot Fun In The Summer Time
End of the spring and here she comes back
Hi, hi, hi, hi, there
Them summer days, those summer days
That's when I had most of my fun back
High, high, high, high here
Them summer days, those summer days
I 'Cloud nine' when I want to
Out of school, yeah
County fair in the country sun
And everything, it's true, ooh, yeah, yeah
Hot fun in the summertime
Hot fun in the summertime
Hot fun in the summertime
Hot fun in the summertime
First of the fall and then she goes back
Bye, bye, bye, bye there
Them summer days, those summer days
'Boop - boop - ba- boop - boop' when I want to
Out of school
County fair in the country sun
And everything, it's cool, ooh,yeah
Hot fun in the summertime
Hot fun in the summertime
Hot fun in the summertime
This post made me think of this song which was recorded by Sly And The Family Stone.

Nice post love old pictures by the way your Canada Day post was right on. 1967 was special to me went to world scout jamboree in Idaho and I was 16...
ReplyDeleteFun post!! Love the little bug!!
ReplyDeleteI have that catalogue, I don't often see them but when I do, it seems to be this very one!
Oh, my gosh - I love your finds! The barrel planters are fabulous - but it's the mugs & those lovely square dishes in your header that nearly bring a tear to my eye. My grammy had dishes like that and I have no idea why I didn't save them. But seeing yours brought back so,e wonderful memories - thanks for sharing!
