Scenes from the Late Summer Baker's Rack

I always get itchy when mid-August rolls around; itchy to start thinking about decorating for Fall. Now, I realize we have at least another month of summertime weather, but toward the end of August the signs of nature start to swing toward Autumn.

So I'm sharing a few more pics of "late-summer" in the Garden Room before it's gone. I changed up the Baker's Rack right after July 4th, and brought out a few summer-y garden themed items, like my Hull Apple Stove set and cookie jar. I've mentioned before that this sat on my grandmother's stove top and counter when I was very little. I think they started making these back in the 30's, so it had been around for awhile by the time I was growing up.

This little Majolica apple canister doesn't have a mark on the bottom, 

but it's not home-made ceramic because I've seen these in multiple.

I did make an effort to straighten up the bottoms shelf.

What is it with me and bottom shelves?

I guess it's where my "inner clutter" lurks.

Or maybe I just don't like to crawl around on the floor.

I'm not sure why the itty bitty plant saucer is there on the bench. (below)

I guess I just didn't check my photos critically.

 Heaven knows I've looked at this photo a million times 

and am just now noticing it has a photo bomb.

The Holiday Cupboard for late-summer.

...there's the saucer again, eeeck.

Like I've said before. edit, edit, edit.

    

      

Hope you'll come by Monday evening.
