i fear i may be tempting fate,
after all it is only day two of sunshine
but it is a risk i am willing to take.
the most peachiest of retro tablecloths made from terry towelling
now brings a kitschy granny goodness to our kitchen knook...
unfortunately i have noted little olive eyeing her up.
and trust me, little olive may be only inches off the ground
but she came with invisible springs attached to her legs.
the back doors have been flung open
and a few paper lanterns, sprightly scraps and birdies are
happily 'dancing a dance' from my recycled, recycled 'gleeful' christmas tree
i shall continue to tempt fate every day by adding something new to
my little branch of summer happy in the hope of making Mr Summer so delighted
he stays put for a while...

This garden is so nice !!!
excellent plan...excellent....

this looks like heaven !
Please continue to so beautifully tempt fate Tif, I think its working!
Superb blog, hope you are feeling better:-)
Can we be friends? That is your back yard - and you have an airstream. Perfection! And maybe a chicken coop as well. Slightly jealous but completely wonderful post!
Happy Summer, Tif!
Enjoy the thrifting. It always makes me feel so much better even if I haven't spent a cent. Cherrie
I love the idea of your Summer Branch. You are so delightful !!!!!
Mr Summer has indeed arrived here too - don't know what to do with myself - it's been 3 years since the last really hot one!
Sounds like a nice plan...Your kitchen nook is delightful!
Out here in the blogosphere we adore dogs, so cannot get enough of the piccies of little olive. Today's is more than satisfactory. We have sunshine here too (and tennis) and so we are eating outside at every opportunity. How else are we to mark the seasons?
I'm still waiting for summer to come...
happy summer to you lovely Tiff !
the last few days have been lovely! I live in Portland, Oregon and I thought I might have to buy a row boat there for a while! so much rain! but love it! makes me appreciate the sunshine all the more! I actually have every window in my little treetop home OPEN!
I love your blog Tif! it makes me smile to read and inspires me with all the lovely pictures! thank you!
How inviting! Mr. Summer is sure to linger when he spies those vintage tablecloths and pretty lanterns. Stop by my blog if you're looking for easy art projects to while away an afternoon ;) http://theteacupincident.typepad.com
what a lovely, summery patio you have! I think summer is here to stay.
Your blog is a great inspiration! Where DO you find your fabrics? I'm in Orlando, FL and have such trouble finding Granny-esque florals and retro prints!

well thank you my dearies, Mr Summer is still here this morning and now i am thinking how i add flowers to the yard with my pesky chickens... for they get everywhere!
as for fabrics, you can always try etsy or ebay, i often have luck there :)
How wonderful, I can imagine spending many an hour sitting under those gorgeous little birdies sipping chilled white wine. Your chickens look very happy too, we have had to lock ours away after a terrible lettuce incident I reported on my blog recently :-(
Found you somehow via ninainvorm... love your blog so far...just read "about me" and at first I thought you were joking and were then going to say..."well, I wish that was my life" and then I saw the beautiful trailer in the garden and realised that you were telling the truth...oh, lucky you!! Will be reading more. Best wishes from Berlin, Cesca (Brit abroad)
Ohmygod. Is that seriously your backyard?
I'm speechless.
I might make this picture my desktop background so I can visit it.
Your outdoor table is so lovely. Is that a tablecloth? Or is fabric attached to the table top.
Sorry if that question is ridiculous.
christina, it is oilcoth that i staple gunned to the table... it has been out for over a year and never faded, i am so super impressed by it! and everything always looks jolly even if it is rainning :)
Forget going to the beach.... I want to spend my summer vacation in your backyard! *swoon*
BRILLIANT!
Tif, I have some serious caravan envy, What a beauty!
