Before we're are on to raking leaves and such, I thought I would share some last summer photos...
The summer mantel & shelves...
pretty much the same as last year with a few new additions...
I found a box of all white shells at Target this year.

I purchased this wonderful old photo at an antique shop in Maryland
I've decided to use my new/vintage truck year round
(does anyone know where I can find tiny pumpkins...
I've looked at our local Joann's and Michael's with no luck!)
My favorite vintage image...
Last weekend, we picked up the boys to spend a weekend with Papa & Bam (that's us)
We had lots of fun...
helping Papa wash the car
hanging around...
driving
sliding...
waiting...
just having a good time...
It was over too quickly!
We were exhausted but cherish the memories!
This is all that was left on Monday...
Be back soon...

What a pretty summer mantle! Love the image on the clipboard! No wonder it's your favorite!! Clipboards are such an awesome way to display things. Why did it take us so long to think of doing that? I know I never thought of doing it until I saw it done on Pinterest.
A weekend with the grandsons sounds like such fun. Even though we have them all nearby, I'm really looking forward to having the grandkids spend weekend with us...of course, not all at once! :) I see them all at once pretty regularly...I think it would be lovely to have special times with each of them.
I love that you're using the truck year round....I'll keep my eyes open for little pumpkins....golf ball size maybe??
Love that last photo...evidence of fun always make me happy!
Oh, such sweet times:). Precious little ones. Your mantle is so pretty. Do you have a Hobby Lobby? They have lots of pumpkins. Maybe one the size you're wanting. Have a nice weekend! Twyla
Sounds like a whirlwind of a weekend. I'm exhausted from just looking at the pictures. I'm sure they loved every minute of it.
I like the idea of using the truck year round. I will keep an eye out and let you know if I see anything. Another idea would be to have a giant pumpkin (well, giant to the miniature truck) in the back... cause he's hauling it to a competition. :-) Just a thought. Good luck on your search.
What a gorgeous mantle!! It makes me want to be at the beach!! I love all of the design elements!! And what sweet pictures!! The boys are absolutely adorable!! Have a great weekend :)

I was just saying that I am embracing the end of Summer (my favorite season) and will embrace Autumn as it arrives. Your beach vignette is bliss. I didn't set mine out this year as life got in the way. Your banner is beautiful. The little's are uber adorable and memories are so very important...time well spent. Blessings...

Love your seasonal mantels and pictures of those 2 little monkeys!
