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.

Canada Day 2012

Today is Canada Day and I can honestly say I'm proud to be a third generation born Canadian.  This post is on things to do with Canada or the red and white colors in our flag.

The white bowl set with red dots and the white mug with red lines are Fire King the rest of the dishes are Pyrex.

This red brooch would be perfect to wear to a red and white party on Canada Day.

These beautiful old postcards are all scenes of Banff, Alberta.
1st Postcard
Mt. Rundle, Altitude 9665 Ft., Banff National Park.
2nd Postcard
Banff Springs Hotel, Banff National Park.
3rd Postcard
Peyto Lake beside the Banff / Jasper Highway.

I want to wish my neighbours to the South a Happy 4th Of July I thought this red, white and blue brooch seemed like the perfect fit to go with this wish.
