Summer Cool

Husband and I wanted to do some retail therapy over the weekend.  We are looking for some items for the living room.  They seem hard to find at a decent price.  And wouldn't you know it, shopping for one thing led to some other interesting finds!  At a local home accessories store, we saw some fun, retro and vintage inspired items we'd love to own ourselves!




Love this retro style cooler for the deck.  Its simple design is perfect for that weekend BBQ.  The storage rack and built-in bottle opener and lid disposal container are such sensible ideas.  I love that there are 2 openings and that it's on legs.  No more painful bending down to see what's cool to drink.  The bright blue is so cheery too!


 

Here is the cooler again with a different colour scheme and cute embellishment.  Its affordable price makes it possible to have more than one in one family!



 

At the same store, I saw these beauties.  I just love the graphic quality of the Union Jack on household items.  These garbage bins are stylish on their own, but painted like this made me want to take one home right away.


We then ventured into a rather dusty little antique store nearby, tucked away on an industrial street.  Here I found an old/new friend.  What time is it?  It's always Elvis time!

JACK OF ALL TRADES

Union Flag with red bars in diagonals to one side of the white diagonals, such that there is a thicker white border on one side. The red bars are all off-centre as if they had been pushed in an anticlockwise direction.

We are looking forward to a trip to the U.K. next month.  We haven't been across the pond in a long time.  I've always loved the graphic appeal of the Union Jack flag.  It's simple yet dynamic.  I especially love it on clothing and household items.  Not all flags can translate this well into everyday items.  Ginger Spice wore it well when she was with the girl band.  Have a look at how this iconic flag has made its presence known in the vintage and retro world:
