Oh Summer, summer nights

Now this is what I call "real" mood lighting for a backyard summer party!
I just love summer evenings like this one! Love looking out my back windows and backyard to the glowing, flaxen, straw colored hills.
Makes me want to paint this scene!
These hills are "home" to me. Oh how I love them.

oh summer, summer nights

My girlie and I have been saving these tin cans for a few weeks now, and we spent an afternoon last week, covering them with fun fabric scraps! Little fabric slip covers over the tin cans make for perfect posy holders......and we recycled both the fabric, and the cans!

Wow, are you ever clever! I love that idea, how wonderful to reuse tin cans this way! They look so pretty all decked with different fabrics. Your photos alll make it so special and those hills are gorgeous.

Those posy holders are lovely - they're going to look wonderful. As for that view, I love it when the evening light deepens ever shadow. Beautiful!
