Summer burns my blues away (Peetee's Palace)

Oh beautiful summer thank you so much for lingering a little longer. This week in Portland is promising more heat and clear blue skies. Its strange for this native born California girl to get distracted by sunshine but I do, it just makes me want to play.

I finally had a chance to wear this vintage Hawaiian dress bought at Vintage by the Pound for all of $5. It's a nice thick cotton and as you can see fits just right. Cristi is wearing a sweet 50's dress!

With so many recent scores at the thrift shops Chris and I packed up 7 bags of clothes to donate.

Look I have wings :)

Here is a quick glimpse of a quilted lounging dress I found.

and another cotton Kimono.

All the Halloween stock is out at thrift stores and that means plenty of choice stuff for me:) I also found these needlepoint creations to add to our entryway.

I added a bit of color to the old frames.

I also scored this insane jumper after drooling over Shelley's!

ADORABLE!

I found this patchwork cookie jar!

Peetee has been enjoying himself, both inside

and outside.

My sister sent me this photo, it's most of our Dad's animal collection, she made a beautiful colorful tribute to him at her house. I really love it, especially because I know this is the most colorful spot in her home:)

I managed to get my primer coat down this weekend and today I will apply the nice bright white paint so I can get onto the fun part, painting flowers and hearts on it!

Last night we had pizza

I ate 3 pieces plus had a nice tall cold one and finished it off with two scoops of ice cream, after that I came home crawled into bed and fell into a food induced slumber of epic proportions.
