I'm hoping to exploit the wealth of experience on this board and garner some recommendations for some flowering vines (or vine-like flowers) that will do well in a shady area. I live in a zone 7 area where the summer days can get pretty hot and humid, but the sun exposure of this plant will be limited to about one - two hours of early afternoon sun.
Most of the other plants in this area are cottage garden-ish, so I'd like to keep it in the same genre if possible.
Thanks in advance!

You might consider a trumpet vine or morning glory.

Black-eyed Susan vines like partial shade.

Check out the five-leaf Akebia (chocolate vine). We've had great success with it (Zone 7), shade. It loves to twine, grows like crazy, has purple-ish flowers and fruits. Drought tolerant.
