4th of July Parading!

Once again I've created a parade for the 4th of July!

I started with the red and white checked vase ahd the blue vase for my baseline of deco items. Daisies and flags soon followed and I rummaged through my patriotic deco and laid it out from there.

A lot of these are some pieces I collected from Pier 1 back when they had stores.

Lady Liberty is one of my favorites!

This was a piece from my sister Donna's who has passed. She had a lot of red, white and blue and nautical in her collection.

This runner was also from Pier 1. I've always thought it was extra cute!

Added some blue hydrangeas to the big vase I got from Ethan Allen years ago when our store was closing.

Some new MacKenzie Childs pieces and a couple of Bethany Lowe Americana pieces that I've had for a few years!

Thanks for stopping by!

Wishing you a great Holiday!

4th Of July Tablescapes (T)

Back in 2015 I did this post Called 4th Of July Dining Indoors which you can click on to see but I'm providing a few pics too!

In 2018 I did a table for two called Wave Your Flag On The 4th

In 2019 I did a Patriotic Vignette

In 2020 I did another Vignette called Land Of The Free

Wishing you all a Happy and Safe 4th of July!

Celebrating the 4th In My Gardens

I've placed American Flags here and there in my planters as you'll see in the pictures!

This is in front of the garage. I've got Supertunia Vista Fuchsia growing here along with Prince Tut papyrus (grass) and Sweet Caroline Sweetheart Lime vine.

This is a planter on the deck. My red is Cuphea (Firecracker plant), Scaevola Whirlwind White for my white, Isotoma Beth's Blue, Supertunia Royal Velvet for my blues, and more of the sweet potato vine.

A quick shot of my hosta hill.

I decided that one of my garden benches would be nice up on the right side of the gardens by the woods. It's a very flat area and hardly anything grows there. Dan used his handy torch to burn off the area we chose for this setting. I've planted some Caladium bulbs in the blue planter which have just started to grow.

This shows you a bit of the burning process. He uses this to burn off weeds that grow in the patio area and it really works well.

We applied a chick layer of mulch and it's quite pleasant sitting here. The bugs are nearby but so far none have bothered me.

Back to my planters...

A view that captures several of the flags I placed.

A zoom in on this one!

And an early evening shot!

I hope you enjoyed your 4th of July! Our daughter is in visiting from California so we're enjoying our time together!

I'll be joining:

Land Of The Free

LAND OF THE FREE

and

The Home Of The Brave!

I've created this vignette for the 4th of July celebrations with the same items I've used for several years but in a new display area and layout.

Freedom and Liberty

Uncle Sam was a find several years ago so he makes his apperance each year.

A faux red geranium and some wicker balls were added.

The two boy and girl statues are Bethany Lowe figurines and a couple of patriotic birds!

I loaded the base with these red white and blue filler pieces just to make it look more complete.

Freedom, Liberty and behind is a red one that says Happiness

What is that myserious rolling pin?

I found this old rolling pin in my mother's things when we were cleaning out the house last fall. The ribbon is in pretty sad shape but I thought I'd leave it as is.

After studying flags I've decided this loosely represents the Norwegian Flag and Coat of Arms. I'm imagining mom picked it up at a craft show since it has little hooks put into it and the ribbon was added so you could hang it. It has nothing to do with our 4th of July celeration but I thought it was quaint and fit in to the vignette.
