Doubt any company is repopin' them things... and try to find a round umbrella with stripes! Forget about it!

That's how so many went to the beach then, large colorful striped umbrellas and big beach towels... Oh man, I'd go to the beach if they had them umbrellas some place to buy for a reasonable price.

The old standby Adirondack chairs are widely available from a variety of chain stores, online sites and the like. The same holds true for finding plans and patterns for making your own.

There's also the WWII-50's metal "shellback" chair. Here's one source - you have to order through one of their dealers, but there's an extensive list of those. Crate & Barrel carries them as well.

"Sur La Plage"

"If you can not decide what bathers to wear at the beach, what to sit on, what to eat and drink Hot?/Cold?, you need a cocktail cabinet, a few Oil paintings to look at, pets, radiogram, then obviously you need one of these, handy "Dressing Sheds" so you can take everything, including the kitchen sink, to the beach with you, do admit? you know it makes sense"

we found 2 wood chaise lounges in the attic and honey is going to recreate them and maybe sell them. they are built like fort knox.
Went swimming yesterday and am now suffering from sunburn. Why do I do this? fftopic:

WWII-50's metal "shellback" chair

these are everywhere now and have really brought down the price of the original ones.
There is a store called "Atwood" in Arkansas where you can find several colors including the glider for very reasonable.

Actually, we've had so much rain in the Northeast that I maybe should ask to see some vintage rainslickers.

Thanks for the pics all and forgive my weather induced indecisiveness!

This kinda reminds me of 1950's Retro at LL Bean on sale now

Here's another style
And the classic deck lounge predating the Titanic
And a variation on the classic Adirondack
And another style predating the golden era

This one is my favorite plus I would love to have what she is wearing too.
