I spent the better part of the weekend at my Grandmother's house. My mother is also in town from Washington State for my upcoming graduation, so it was a meeting of three generations. We celebrated Mother's Day and my Grandmother cooked some of my favorite meals.
These pictures I snapped in her basement. She collects vintage Coca Cola memorabilia. It's really a magnificent basement to wander around in.

Welcome to my little blog that blends a bit of nature, fashion, wanderings, and books in this dusty corner of the Internet. I hope you find it a moment of quiet in the wild today.
So cool. I have one vintage coca cola piece...I adore it and I'll buy more pieces! Haha!

ReplyDeletewhat a magical basement. i would have been trilled if i as a child could go around in a basement like that. i have that ruche bag my self, and i love it! but, do not put a lot of heavy books in it, then it will be damaged... just so you know:)

Also, congratulations on being about to graduate as well!! I'm having a hard enough time believing that I'm halfway there (Well, in a day).
Ooh! LOVE the Coca-cola memorabilia! And what a perfect way to celebrate Mother's Day! I too, was lucky this year to celebrate it with my grandmother (who lives in the same city as I), and mom (who lives on the opposite side of the globe).

ReplyDeleteWonderful shots as always. I especially like the ones in the gazebo.
Wow! I love both outfits and that collection is super. Have you ever read The House of Mirth by Edith Wharton? I ask because you remind me of the heroine because of a) your beauty and b) your taste for surroundings that suit you - your 1st outfit is very vintage Coca-Cola-y, if that makes any sense!
ReplyDeleteThat basement is amazing. I'm a coke fan!
ReplyDeleteI love the black and white star print dress and those cherry red sunglasses.
ReplyDeletelove the coca cola pics! you look soo adorable! and congrats on graduating!

ReplyDeleteI want to play with dolls in that room, hiding them amongst the vintage memorabilia, waiting for them to spring up from behind a green glass bottle, like a little Coca-cola faerie--though you play that part nicely enough for me!

ReplyDeleteoopsie, it's a polka-star-dot dress!!! even more amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteYou officially have the coolest grandmother. My grandparents collect things, but they don't have amazing themed basements. What a perfect spot for pictures.
ReplyDeleteI love the 2nd set of pictures, too. The picture with the book is just stunning. I need to read more Jack London.

Where your grandmother collects coca cola memorabilia, mine collects chicken legs... (they were on offer, she tells me, yet that doesn't explain why there were 24 in the freezer!)
ReplyDeleteAMAZING!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThese pictures made me happy--your grandma sounds so cool! And that would be an awesome basement to wander on through. Love the pictures, as always!
ReplyDeleteWHOA! That's quite a vintage Coke collection!
ReplyDeleteGreat house, great pics, and sounds like a spectacular Mother's Day with your Mom and Grandmother!
Fun post, looking forward to browsing through more. :)
Cheers!

ReplyDeleteI'm in love with your dress :)
ReplyDeleteYour garments are beautiful. I love the spots pattern
ReplyDeleteI have this fascination for anything coca cola. Despite me being acidic. Haha
ReplyDeleteWow, that green dress is amazing. I love going to grandparents' houses. For some reason, my grandparents' house brings back more nostalgia for me than my parents'. Probably because I don't go there as often. Love the Coke stuff!
ReplyDeleteThe second outfit is my favorite, I love the polka dots. My dad has an old coca-cola radio, lol.
ReplyDeletethese coca-cola ice boxes are so cute !
ReplyDeletei like coca-cola.
