**Vintage Summer Monday's #3**

Hey all, I hope I find you all well and enjoying the good ol' summer time!! Finally it feels like summer around here! I wanted to put up Vintage Summer Monday's a little bit early so if you stumble upon my blog and haven't joined the party yet, please do so! Everyone is welcome! 

****Just a quick note, this is going to be the last Vintage Summer Monday for a few weeks because I am getting my house packed up for our big move at the beginning of July. As soon as I settle in to my new place I will start it up again.  Also, after I announce the winner of my giveaway on Thursday I won't be posting anymore until I move. This is going to kill me, I love blogging and chatting with all of you. You always make my day! So please don't forget about me, I will talk to you all again in July.

Okay, let's get started on Vintage Summer Monday's #3.

 
 Vintage bread cabinet. 
The beautiful peonies my husband got me for my birthday on Thursday. He surprised me and came home to spend my birthday with me. I was so happy!!!


 He also got me this awesome vintage hinged black screen. I think it really makes everything on the dresser pop, especially the peonies.


Vintage ironstone pitcher, vintage books, and vintage linens.

Sorry but that's it for my photos, this is the only pretty corner I have left in my house. The rest of my house is a mess!

***Reminder***


Don't forget that the winner of my giveaway will be announced on Thursday June 10th. If you still haven't entered, please go here~ to my ****giveaway post and enter there. 
   The details are explained there as well! Good luck to you all!!!

Happy vintage Summer Monday!
Sincerely,
~Melinda

    Wow you have gorgeous peonies in the perfect pink! We have had torrential rains and mine are all laying on the ground :-) Hopefully I can salvage some!
