We just love this time of year...The days are getting longer and warmer...And best of all is seeing the flowers in bloom!! My hollyhocks and delphiniums are popping up all over. I've finally got the cottage garden I've always wanted! There's nothing like sitting in my adirondack chair, sipping a cool beverage, reading a book, and enjoying my garden. In addition to enjoying the garden, it's that time of year for eating outside, planning vacations, and gearing up for fun holiday celebrations!

With the 4th of July quickly approaching, you'll want to check out our new arrival of fun "Stars & Stripes" decorations for the table. (Also perfect for those who love Americana.) Get the complete look for a great price, and you can't beat $5.00 flat shipping!!

The smaller picture to the right is the reverse side of the table runner, thus allowing a lot of decorating versatility!

We've been so busy lately we've not gotten a chance to take a moment to post on our blog! We'll try to do better at letting you know what we've been up to and what's new in our store, OnTheCornerVintage.com.

We hope all you moms out there had a great Mother's Day! I sure did...My mom and I enjoyed a beautiful day with my son at Big Trees State Park in Northern California to see the Giant Sequoias. No matter how many times I've been there, I'm always in awe of these enormous trees. We also had a great time exploring Mercer Cavern, which is very close to the Big Trees State Park. My son loved this part of our trip. We walked 16 stories down into this very damp but beautiful cave with an amazingly knowledgeable guide who truly made the experience fun. This is a picture of my son with his grandma!

We couldn't resist showing you one more picture of a squirrel family! It's kind of a small picture so it may be hard to see, but there were three small squirrels all cuddling together on one of the giant trees.

Thank you for reading about quick little post about our Mother's Day adventure! Be sure to keep reading to see what's new in our online store and about any new sales!
