Fave items this month are: the bendy guitar doll that hangs out in my studio, the red maple leaf tray, the tulip glass, the tins are fantastic, the 4 flowery mugs, and the odd tea towel that looks like it suggests corned beef and brains is one of my favorites from my collection! Plus see that map thing on the left, you can scroll through and one side gives you the state and the other side the capital! What a smart learning tool, so simple too!

How awesome is this sign...I want one.

Yummy, delicious fresh blueberries!

Such a fun and festive table! my vintage shop, www.vintagegoodies.etsy.com is loaded up with most of these items with more pink on the way soon! And you can snag an artgoodies pie stuffie right now, but you'll have to wait about a week to get your hands on the new pie tea towel! The first batch sold out already!!! See my artgoodies shop and pre-order yours today!

My favorite pieces include the adorable pink play sink! The odd meat tray from the 50s, the vintage cupcake tea towel, the bird clothespin and all the fab vintage glassware of course! Check out my vintage shop for some of these fab pink finds!

A few blueberries made themselves known at the family cottage garden. They were quickly devoured! I can't wait to go blueberry picking soon! One of my favorite summertime activities and treats! Stay tuned for a blog post about that!

This little bundle of wonderfulness came from my garden at home, picked fresh in the drizzling rain. When I left for the weekend they were just tiny little guys and voila now they are lunch!

Wild black raspberries! YUM! My parents have them up and down the driveway at their house, but these beauties are from the cottage. I have fond memories of going out with my little pink cup, or a lavendar melmac cup and harvesting as many as I could find. Then grandma would sprinkle a little sugar on them and they were pure heaven!

A few radishes from the cottage garden! This is just one side of mom's gorgeous garden at the family cottage! I bet you can't wait to see what comes out of here next!

Freshly inked and ready to print! I love custom mixing color and watching the block come alive!

After transferring the pattern to the block I've begun the long process of carving away. I was thinking about the crochet and lace process as I carved. Both take a lot of time and I wondered if I was crocheting a doily if it would be done at the same time or close. After not carving a block for a couple few months I was reminded how much sheer muscle and control you have to have. I love the process and power of printmaking!

This time most of the color of the month comes straight from my personal collection. The phone is available in my vintage shop but the squirrel planters are mine all mine! A great blend of old and new ceramic pieces, plus a bit of melmac of course! My favorites are some of the many McCoy planters I have, the faux bois long planter on top, the small bamboo one and the large planter to the right. Check out the bear and squirrel wedding cake toppper by Melabo! You can pick up your own custom creation in her great shop and the trio of gnomes were made by my brother and fiance, check the link below! Plus you can never go wrong with a doily!
