Aqua Love ~ Vintage Heaven!


This is the lovely home of a friend of mine. My friend, Pam is a talented painter, designer and collector.  Her home is full of vintage collections, her oil paintings and family photographs in vintage frames. Her love for travel, antiquing, great eye for design and her gift for finding interesting pieces makes her home unique.




 



 Pictures of her trip to Kenya ~ Masai people.
 Shells from Tanzania.














 My friend Pam, and some of her creamer collection.



 Canisters were her mothers when she began housekeeping in the forties.






 Paddle belonged to her father, a high school principal!


Pam's picture in elementary school and some of her toys from childhood. 

Stay tuned to Part 2. Blogger would not load the rest of the pictures. I did not realize there may be a limit to the number of pictures you can post.

Joining these parties: Vintage Inspiration Friday, 2805 Potpourri Friday, and Table Top Tuesday, Seasonal Sunday, and Wow Us Wednesday.
