Piquing My Pinterest Summer Edition


This week's Pinterest challenge I'm getting into the Summer spirit. These are some of my summer pins.

1. Storms over Brisbane. I love storms so much that A-M and I have a twitter hashtag #stormgirls whenever one decides to venture our way. We haven't had as many this summer, which is both fortunate and unfortunate. It means no floods but also we are in a bit of a drought. Plus falling asleep to rain and storms is one of my favourite things.

2. Cold drinks. Don't these drinks just look delicious. I love the effectiveness of the cut lemon, straws and paper lemons. Adorable and so summer!

3. Ice cream at the beach. This takes me back to my childhood days at Bribie Island, having delicious ice creams from the little ice cream shop at the wave beach. So delicious and so summer. I don't think Bribie had sea lice then either.

4. A pool on the beach. Why oh why doesn't the Sunshine or Gold Coast have these (if they do please correct me)? It's one of my favourite things to see in Sydney and I know it reminds my mum of her childhood.

5. Sprinklers. This is the first I'm seeing of one made out of a 2L bottle though. Pure genius! Every summer when I was a kid would involve jumping through sprinklers. Usually naked or in underwear, or at least that's how I remember it. Maybe I did own togs?

I'm joining up with Tina and a bunch of other Pinterest addicted bloggers. Check them out here.

  5. Yes you owned new cossies every year! You just chose to not wear them. The innocence of children .....

  6. Nothing I like better than falling asleep, listening to rain. And I have to agree with Nat X, the ones at Gerroa and Gerrigong are beautiful. There's quite a few like that around the south coast. One of the things I love about living down here :)

  8. Oh, summer was actually my initial theme for my Pinterest post today, but I was distracted by beach/coastal style instead! I also miss the ocean pools from Sydney. There used to be one (slightly different, but the idea was there!) on one of the Ballina beaches. Shelley Beach, I think? I am going to try that bottle sprinkler, great idea! And thanks for visiting my blog. xx
