Out side banners 4th July

Hi Friends,

HAPPY 4th of JULY

Today, I'm putting out red white and blue banners and flags around the outside for this special day. I got out the patriotic tub and looked over the banner. This one has seen better days, but I think I can use it this season.

This flag banner needed a quick face lift, the stripes had faded so with a little acrylic paint they look fresh again

I put another banner on the garden gate

Some of my older banners are starting to look pretty bad. I drove over to Walmart to see what they had for banner, the selection had been picked through. Not much left, so I picked up four of the banners and two boxes of small flags

I hung one of the new banner on the back fence

and the other two on the front of the house

I want to thank you for checking and making my blog a part of your day. Please check back any time, I'm trying to post at least every two week, with thrift hauls, vignettes of where I show off my thrifted treasures, and a few picks at my seasonal home decorating in and outside my home.

Until next time....

May God Bless You and Your Family,

Red, White, and Blue Vignette

Hi Friends,

The month of July is coming up and I have pulled out my patriotic tubs out to start decorating. Today I'm showing off a cute little cabinet that my dad made, I have moved some of my salt and pepper pieces to live in this cabinet.

On this book case I have some vintage items I have gathered from around my house and a few recent thrift haul pieces to make a few patriotic vignettes.

In this vignette I've added the thrifted cookie cutters into a enamel bowl that I had stashed away on a cupboard in the laundry room. Some pip berries and a little wooden flag I painted a few years ago.

Inside the cabinet are a few of my vintage salt and pepper pieces. I have a several sets of tiny people chef, from Japan

On top of the cute little cabinet I put together a wooden rooster, along with a recently thrifted flour sifter with a red handle and a red handle cheese slicer and a white hen salt shaker.
