For today's Inspiration Challenge, I combined two items from the Vermont Country Store website, this gingham dress and this Mason jar-type drink dispenser. The Vermont Country Store has many items which invoke memories of childhood (particularly that candy department), and I'm sure we probably all remember catching fireflies and putting them in a jar when we were kids. Thanks for the memories!!!

I don't want fireflies in my drink dispenser! LOL
But in your jar they are so cute!! I love their little halo lights. We have so many out right now; the back yard is all lit up at night! Super cute gingham and a pretty green color, Lois!

Oh, Lois, what a clever idea to combine to inspiration pieces to make this fabulous card! I love the checked DP inspired by the seersucker dress and really love the jar that I well remember using to catch fireflies when we were young - now that's a fun memory today! And I also remember using the bodies on our fingers to look like rings (but I don't know how I did that - eeww!!). What a great card design, and I love it a lot! Beautifully done, and I'm so glad you got to be inspired by this store web site! Hugs, sweet friend!

I mostly remember how awful they smelled!! I loved that green gingham dress......for the lanai, not patio, right? I love how fun your card is, and yes, the Vermont country Store is full of nostalgic things!!
