Summer is the time for vacations, parties, and of course "summer love". If you are planning a beach party here is a perfect retro invitation from my Reprise Vintage shop.

Pause & Refresh
My heart, which is so full to overflowing, has often been solaced and refreshed by music when sick and weary.
Martin Luther (1483 - 1546)
True silence is the rest of the mind; it is to the spirit what sleep is to the body, nourishment and refreshment.
William Penn (1644 - 1718)
To look backward for a while is to refresh the eye, to restore it, and to render it the more fit for its prime function of looking forward.
Margaret Fairless Barber
To sit in the shade on a fine day, and look upon verdure is the most perfect refreshment.
Jane Austen (1775 - 1817)
You find yourself refreshed by the presence of cheerful people. Why not make an honest effort to confer that pleasure on others? Half the battle is gained if you never allow yourself to say anything gloomy.
Lydia M. Child
I love vintage signs! Here is a design I created for my Reprise Vintage shop using a photograph I took of a vintage soft drink sign.
How do you refresh and renew yourself?

1950's Kitchen
I adore vintage ads and 1950's retro style. My kitchen and dining room are filled with decorative items that were probably used every day when my mom was a young wife. My favorite color theme is red and white, so I decorate with a lot of vintage red and white enamelware. To celebrate the 1950's kitchen I've created designs for my Reprise Vintage shop. Here is one example featuring my 1950's Rooster design. I think he is perfect for a retro style kitchen.
What is your favorite kitchen & dining room style?

50's Love with a Twist
I grew up in the 50's, 60's and early 70's so I have a special place in my heart for those eras. As I tell my children, I'm not old, I'm 'vintage'. I love that I grew up in the era of hot rods, pin-up girls and rock 'n' roll. In my world all of those things are still 'king'. When I create a new design for my Reprise Vintage shop I am greatly influenced by the eras I grew up in. As you can see by this card I added a little twist to celebrate our current era.
