Summer Is Here

Summer and the heat has arrived here in British Columbia the two don't always go hand in hand in July.  I thought I would post things to do with summer.

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.

A Step Back In Time

Yesterday I felt like I had stepped back in time I was heading into Fort Langley, British Columbia and I was following some vintage cars down the tree lined main street they were heading for a car show.  It was a great way to begin a morning it brought good memories of my dad to mind he was always into cars and belonged to a vintage car club.

This is the only kind of vintage car I have is in my toy collection I just added this one.  My dad would have loved one only in the real type he could have driven.

I had to also add this chip and dip bowl set to my collection I had none till now in this style.

These turquoise highball glasses couldn't get in my basket fast enough after I spotted them.

This paperweight I also had to add to one of my many collections it was made in Edinburgh, Scotland.

I found this coffee jar and the small metal scoop on the same day I found this mug a couple of days later.

These flowers are part of one of my barrels.

I believe this picture was taken at a I believe this picture was taken at a fairground.  I choose to share it as all the local fairs will soon be starting.
