CHILDHOOD SUMMER MEMORIES

I was leafing through my favorite French magazine, CAMPAGNE DECORATION,   when I spotted a beautiful pillow with a summer photograph as part of the design.  Brilliant!!  What a wonderful way to capture a summer memory.  And how easy to copy.

All you need is a black and white photograph of a beach scene and a T-shirt transfer kit, and an ink-jet printer.  Scan your photograph into your computer,  and if  in colour use PhotoShop to change it into a black and white print (classier that way).   Enlarge the photograph as large possible.  Then follow the simple instructions on the T-Shirt transfer kit.  You can buy the kits  at office supply or craft stores.

One pillow looks perfect on my new favorite reading chair.  Two pillows (with different beach scenes) would look charming on a summer bed.

There is an interesting story behind this beach picture of falcon, myself and my two older siblings.   You can read about it on   EMMA LAKE SUMMERS  .  I promise you it has a happy ending, and a delicious recipe for lemon pancakes.
