A Change of Scenery

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.

  1. 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!

  6. I 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.

  8. Love those buckets; metal/galvanized--anything "industrial" finds my heart. Great pics!
