I have been wanting to share some photos of our trip to New England over Memorial Day weekend. A change of scenery is always a great way to start the Summer.
Water, a rocky coastline and boats, I could look at this view all day.
The rosa rugosa were in bloom and so colorful.
The boats and water definitely influenced my weekend finds. I was in the mood for some rustic cabin decorating and couldn't resist these vintage galvanized bait buckets. The larger one has beautiful red graphics and I love the oval shape of the smaller wade bucket. They will be great additions to my son's nautical/americana themed room.
When my husband saw that the larger bucket still had it's original insulated liner,
he ran out to buy some live eels and took it fishing.
I have a photo of the eels in my pretty bucket,
but it is too slimy to post.
The striped bass he caught is a little easier on the eyes and tasted yummy.
And best of all, my husband thinks that my new find is a keeper.
Looks like a fantastic weekend. Your bait buckets are awesome. My husband has a room full of vintage fishing/hunting decor. I have fantasies of someday filling a cottage/cabin with his collection. Happy summer!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful view, and the buckets are great!
ReplyDeleteI love those minnow buckets. My family had a Bait & Tackle Shop for many years and my dad had several of those buckets. I think I still have one somewhere.
ReplyDeleteI am in love with those rustic bait buckets. I found you from a blog hop and am now a follower.
ReplyDeleteLove those buckets; metal/galvanized--anything "industrial" finds my heart. Great pics!
ReplyDeleteWow, those galvanized buckets are great! That's an awesome shot of the coastline!
