~ Vintage Summer Beach Treasures ~

Hi Everyone, I hope you all, are having a great summer and a great week. I just wanted to share with you all some vintage beach goodies we have in our collection. This pail is from the 20s or early 30s I like the kids trying to catch a starfish with a net in this one.

I decided to join in on the fun over at Colorado lady for Vintage Thinge Thursday And also for Show And Tell Friday over at My Romantic Home.

We also have here this little chalk ware mermaid she is from the 20s or 30s. We used Spanish moss as sea weed to decorate around some of the items in the photos.

Here is a antique postcard of some people enjoying the day on the beach trying too cool off from the heat. Displaying the newest fashions for beach ware.


In this postcard is a group of monkeys having fun at the beach also. They have on their bathing suits also. Raymond, seems to think I look like them when I'm in the pool. I just don't get, where he see's that. LOL

This is a Victorian block puzzle with a little girl and her friend enjoying a day at the beach building sandcastles.


This pail is from the 40s or the 50's. Isn't she cute, eating her melting ice cream, and watch'n her dog play.

And this pail dates from the 70s by the look of what the little girl is wearing and her hair style.
The vintage photo above the pail is from the 20s the young lady has her dog in this photo with on the beach.

I hope you all enjoyed our collection and Thank You for stopping by. Have yourselves a great Summer..........Julian

  6. Oh my that would be such a fun collection. I never thought of collecting old beach items. As if I need to start another collection. The closest I come is with seashells. I really enjoyed this one and thanks for sharing.

  7. I love those old metal pails. Too bad most of them got rusty and bent and were thrown away.

  11. Dear Julian, What an amazing collection of seaside memorabilia and so very redolent of summer. I recall myself as a small girl in the 1950s having a bucket, the sides of which were painted with swashbuckling pirates. More appropriate, on reflection, for a boy but I was very proud of it. Oh to have it still as a start to my own collection - or to add to yours!!
