america’s 4th of july is just a couple of weeks away, so i thought i’d round up some vintage and retro-inspired home goods to get your holiday partying and picnicking started. and should you happen to be a francophile like me or are in france, i think these party products could also help us celebrate bastille day, as well (or, as it’s called in french fête nationale française). these picks actually work well for just celebrating summer in general, so whatever you’re celebrating (father’s day?), here’s some summer gear to get you feeling festive and ready to party, inside and out.

1. foster & rye vintage-inspired red metal picnic cooler. adorable, functional, and oh-so retro.
