It’s time to head back to school here in Maine and I couldn’t think of a more appropriate way to decorate The Lobster House than with a bunch of pencils and books.
Well, pencil buoys. 😉 Seriously, how cute are these!? I LOVE the way they turned out!!!
And the books too.
It was hard to pick just six!! Painting them was a bit tricky, but it’s been SO MUCH fun to watch the people walk by and stop and look at each one.
I knew when we bought this house I wanted to do something fun with it. I just didn’t know we’d be turning our barn into a little buoy making factory.
The HH, he’s a pro at making wooden buoys now, that’s for sure.
And I can’t walk the beach without scanning for clam shells.
It was hard to find the larger ones this time around {all the tourists scooped them up} but I did find enough to spell out “back 2 school” for the Lobster House back to school buoy display.
Fall, it’s definitely in the air. The mornings are just a wee bit chillier and pretty soon the leaves will begin to fall and it will be time to swap out the buoys again.
I LOVE this time of year!! And I love how our quirky little back to school display turned out.
Have a great weekend everyone,
