Summer 2012

Summer 2012Summer is carefree.

It’s filled with days spent at the beach or by the pool,and capped off with fresh drinks, salads and grilled nourishments.Summer’s colors, smells and tastes are fresh, bright & beautiful.It’s no wonder that vintage favorites like Fiesta and Pyrex utilize these punchy and fun hues in their collections - so that you can keep

summer around all year long.

Some days, we wish that summer would never end.

Cheers & Enjoy,

Emma & Bailey

I remember collecting sea-glassas though we could change the world

we could take each smoothpale piece & hold it up to the sun

add beauty to beautylike makeup

on the faces of sunbathers

I still have the blue onethat you gave me on that Summer

our dreams drowned in the Atlantic like the punctured gill

of a once mighty fish

I’ve abandoned thoughts of changing the world

selfish as it soundsI’d rather keep my sea-glass to myself & think of you

My favorite thing about summer is a the perfect fruity cocktail and a meal outside with friends and family.

Bailey Amon | Antiquaria

My favorite thing about summer is how incredibly delicious the produce is! Going to pick berries and peaches is one of the best ways to spend a warm summer afternoon. And of course...grilling outdoors can’t be beat!

Emma James | Antiquaria

What I love most about summer are the days thatseem to go on forever. Nothing beats a long afternoon spent in the hammock with a good book.
