    I love decorating with all parts of old croquet sets for summer. The wreath is fab! I love how you freshened the mallets up without taking away from the vintage appeal.

    The garage area is just too too cute! Love it all!

    Thank you so much for celebrating summer with us!

      Thanks for your sweet compliments, Amber;) I’ve always loved the different varieties and designs of these old games, and this project really celebrates them! Guess I just can’t let these bits of history end up in a landfill! It would make a pretty cute magazine cover, wouldn’t it?? #goals

      Thanks, Shelley! I am enjoying my summer, but am ready for a relief from the heat! Fall is definitely more my groove;)

  16. If I could bottle that imagination of yours no telling what else we could come up with. Love how all the colors mingle together on the wreath. So perfect for summer!

    1. Lora Bloomquist says:

      Thanks, Michelle! Yes, if I could just bottle it up and make my millions, wouldn’t that be nice? Guess I’m more of a starving artist:( But I’m having fun creating, and hopefully inspiring others to do the same!
