Summer Kitchen Girls Sizzlin' Hot Shop!

While visiting my BFF Kitty in 

northern Ohio we took a trip 

to Helena Ohio to visit a favorite place of ours 

The Summer Kitchen Girls! 

The owners, two sisters, Karrie & Karla 

are the most personable sweetest gals 

you'd ever hope to meet. 

You're instantly treated with this quaint 

setting when you park in back of their shop. 

The front porch is a scene of lemonade 

waiting for guests. 

How cute is this idea they shared on 

their blog, tie a vintage hankie around your 

glass to identify your beverage and help 

with condensation drips. 

Take an old Mason Jar and give it a 

Collar of Vintage Lace and fill with whatever's 

blooming in your garden. 

These solar balls are so cool at night in 

the garden. 

And then as the angels played their harps 

we opened the front door and gazed upon 

this heavenly vision... 

can you hear them??

The colors of summer? 

The call of the sea?

Gorgeous sea glass vases & sea shell dishes.

The perfect signs for the beach house 
or cottage at the lake. 

Toile... be still my heart!

They give a great tutorial on their 
blog for how to make this Chandy 
and it's even cooler in person. 

Then of course there's the Coconut Lime 
Candles they sell. 
You've got to go on this post and 
listen to "You Put the Lime in the Coconut"! 

Great vignettes. 

So wish I would have gotten 
one of these cool cloches! 

Sassy Aprons!

This Sinatra CD was playing while we 
were shopping and Oh how I love his 
music in my "almost" golden years. 

Pretty dishes. LOTS! 
Loved them all.

There was wonderful things everywhere... 
oh to be wealthy in such a shop as theirs!

I'm in love with things that have 
numbers on them... 
yes that's right, another wish I'd bought! 

Herb stamped silverware. 

Fabulous Herb Markers. 

Now look how adorable this vintage table 
is with the chalkboard painted top. 

The most adorable little trinket boxes. 
Je t'aime... sigh. 

These little charms at the checkout were 

so wonderful and all so apropos for 

my loves & inner thoughts.  

And my favorite... 

but did I get it... no! 

Wish I had!!

I did purchase a few special finds... 

an adorable little Paris dish, 
Ooh-la-la...  

a sewing machine drawer 
already in use holding spools of ribbon... 

and some darling herb signs I 
couldn't resist. 
(Don't look at my herbs - eesh!)

Tied to my bag was a pretty lime ribbon 
and the charm that I was going to purchase,
as their gift to me! 
How sweet is that?!

I wanted it because the reverse 
side has a lock to go with a very 
special key I made a necklace out of. 

We had a grand time!
