Here is my summertime wreath. I wrapped ivy garland around a grapevine wreath, stuck in some sprigs of pink flowers, gold twirls, three large roses and a bow at the top. I didn't use any hot glue, the bow is tied on with embroidery floss. It's been several weeks and nothing has fallen off yet. ;0)
A bowl of seashells on the coffee table. I tucked in some small shells in the votive holders.
More shells on the mantle...
I made these napkin rings last year. I hot glued one or two shells to some ribbon and then tied them around each rolled up napkin.
Now on to the back patio....
A vintage hankie, bowl of lemons, and tiny fairy make up the table centerpiece. The book is called "My Mother's Garden" and is a wonderful collection of essays where the authors share their childhood gardening memories.
Finally, a wall planter and basket filled the pink impatiens. More seashells on the birdhouse and a sign that says, "Relax." Just the reminder I need for these summer months!
Thank you for looking at my summertime decorations!
It is the month of June,
The month of leaves and roses
When pleasant sights salute the eyes,
And pleasant scents the noses.

Everything is so pretty! I have never really "decorated" much for summer but what fun that could be!! I love the wreath on your front door too, it is beautful!!!
Very nice! I redid the wreath on our front porch, boy did it need it. It really takes a beating from the wind. I especially like your ideas with the shells.
Lots of very nice touches.

I ALWAYS enjoy a visit to your home with new decorations. And my dose of poetry to make me smile. Thank you!
I like the shell ideas also.
How cozy! The bowl of lemons is just so cheery! Blessings!
Very lovely. It inspires me to get my hiney moving. Thanks.
It's all so pretty, Kelli! I new you'd have some lovely things out for the season change. Me, not so much these days. I'm trying to get pared down to sell. ;0)
I love your use of seashells.
I love all of your decorations. I haven't changed out my wreath yet, I'll probably do that for the 4th of July.
We picked up tons of sea shells when we were at the beach. You've given me some great ideas on how to use them.
Have a good week.
You are so good at putting nice little touches here and there!
Everything is beautiful. I love that you decorate for everything.
You always know how to put the nicest touches on things. Really sets the mood for a nice summer day.
Love your blog. You are a very inspiring lady!! I found you through Connie's blog. I homeschool also and enjoy quilting, though I am not near as crafty as you are. Love the summer decorating. Bren

How fresh and lovely! You have some creative ideas for giving your home that noce finishing touch!
Hi Kelli ~ love your summery decorations ~ I have a "thing" for seashells!!
Everything looks so nice!! I love all the seashell touches, esp. the napkin rings. Very cute =)
I especially like your shells!
It's very refreshing looking too--the sort of thing that feeds the soul.
It is all so pretty!! You do such a nice job with decorating.
So beautiful!
Sweet decorations Kelli! Summer is one season I never have any decorations for - I am always out in the garden or in the yard playing with the kids and barely look at the house until the dust is two inches thick! I'll have to get inspired some rainy day and do something - I have lots of extra sea shells from my wreath project .... hmmm...
Oh my gosh! Kelli, I think you and I have the exact same bowl full of shells on our tables! That's just TOO weird, because my bowl came from a rummage sale somewhere. I'm going to have to take a picture and post it on my blog.
Oh Kelli, you are a source of inspiration, the shells decor is so nice! I will do the same here in the Summer!
All of your decorations are so pretty.
