mid august vintage finds

finally a chance to post. i have to admit i've been trying to take it a little bit more slowly this summer, wanting and needing to enjoy the outdoors and escape from the house and yes ..the computer!
as the summer's end draws closer i'm feeling the light chill in the air-- loving the cooler mornings and evenings, watching the garden change, with blooms coming and going.. and now i'm anticipating the warmth of autumn's textures and light. one of my favorite tones of the season is sepia-- always making me feel nostalgic and comforted, and reminding me of the turning of leaves and stems from green to brown, and of the light that falls through windows at dusk ... so here are some antique finds that speak of that sense of change, of objects softly weathered and mellowed with age... top left to right:

best wishes-- i hope you enjoy a wonderful week ahead!

  1. Those tassels are incredible, Kathi. I love sepia, too, and I'm always thrilled to discover when you have something new in your shops!
