There were so many fantastic finds, cool summer getaways and darn cute photos of readers — we love it when you get in the photos, too — in our recent end of summer uploader. Above: Readers Jennie and Aidan got married this summer in a retro-style wedding — love! Thanks so much for sharing everyone! Pam had me go through the 200+ photos to pick out some of my favorites, and here they are in no particular order.
We were majorly impressed with Readers Jennie and Aidan. Not only did they have a retro-themed wedding this summer, but Aidan also appears to have some awesome welding skills:
Above:
Found a set of 2 West German pots (Scheurich) at a rummage sale. The yellow pot in the front is one of them. Aidan made the plants stands, he has welding skills. — Jennie & Aidan
Above: Reader Keisha found this fantastic shadowbox at an estate sale for the amazing low price of $2! Now that’s a good deal! P.S. We love your retro outfit, glasses and hairdo too!
Above: I’m totally in love with this colorful hanging chair submitted by a mystery reader. Is it macrame?
Above: Here’s another great idea we’re stealing. This mystery reader says:
I’m the lady on the right. I took my grandmother’s old frames to my vision place and had sunglasses made. The man explained that people do this all the time. I can now remember her every time I put my sunglasses on!
Above: How sophisticated is reader Geronimom in these vintage TWA First Class airline seats, now situated in her living room. She says:
We have quite enjoyed traveling around the world first class during our “staycation” this summer while sitting in the vintage TWA L-1011 first class seats hubby found to celebrate our 18th wedding anniversary! As a former TWA flight attendent, he could not have given me a gift I’d love more!

Above: We love the new paint job that midcenturythriftygal gave the original garage doors on her 1953 home.
Above: We always love a good midcentury lamp, but reader Donna has taken her lamp love to the next level and named them! She writes:
On the left: My first and ugliest MCM lamp, my BIL named him Burford! On the right: Burford’s mate, Hortense!
Above: Is there any better way to spend the summer than camping in a vintage trailer? And wow, this sure is a cute one! This mystery reader writes:
Camping in our vintage ’61 Aristocrat… lovin summer.
Above: This mystery reader has one hip living area complete with knotty pine, loads of vintage furniture, fabulous sputnik and bubble lighting, and a mega cool giant swordfish on the wall. We love it!
Above: This mystery reader’s entry way is fantastic — starburst knobs, starburst doorbell, breeze blocks, cone light, flamingo doormat and those groovy front doors, freshly painted orange. Great job! Mystery reader writes:
I found…. That I’m crazy, after spending weeks refinishing these doors… And a few other thing too.
Above: You know Pam and I love dressing up in our vintage tiki wear, as do many others like readers Josh and Lisa (Tikimama) posing by the new tiki unveiled outside the Caliente Tropics.
