Memories of a Summer Cabinet

Summers with my grandmother at the lake cabin is where I spent weeks on end as a child.  Her cabinets would be full of all of the goodies that she knew that my sister and brother, and I loved.  To this day I still love the look of an old clapboard cupboard as it reminds me of that cabinet at the lake from my childhood filled with special treats, favorite mugs, pink lemonade in long forgotten vintage bottles and beautiful tiny details utilized to pull it all together.  This cabinet captures all that my summers at the lake with my grandmother meant to me. If I could have my grandmother over for tea in my miniature world, this is where we would find the mugs...

This post is dedicated to my late grandmother and to all of the grandmothers out there who make a day or a summer in the life a child so very special... 

A Perfect Summer Afternoon

A collection of items that could be found waiting on an old farmhouse table after spending a perfect afternoon in the warm summer sun...

Summer Cabinet

This week I worked on a cabinet inspired by all of the wonderful things that summer brings.  As always, the cabinet was based on something that my grandmother would have had in her summer kitchen, right down to the colander filled with fresh vegetables from her garden and eggs gathered each morning from the hen house.   Have a great weekend everyone.

 

The colander is by Susi at MiniEdenTienda, and the strawberry pie was made by Karen at MerciaMiniatures

Inspired By Summer

On the weekend I was inspired to create a few things that might be seen on a kitchen counter in the lovely days of summer. The collection is called "Inspired by Summer".  I hope that you like it.
