Monday

Good morning. I hope that all of you had a great weekend. It is another hot day here. We are under heat warnings this week, so I'll probably be staying indoors a lot.




I've started pulling out more of my patriotic decorations. I keep red, white, and blue in my dining room all year, but I have some extras for the Fourth of July and the rest of the summer.


I keep the garland (above) out all year. It is really a Christmas garland with angels and stars, but I like it a lot, so I try to make it 'fit' the season that is current. I gave the angels these little toothpick flags to hold for the Independence Day. I also looped the red, shiny garland around the curtain rod. It is also a Christmas decoration, but since it is red stars, I think it's also perfect for the Fourth!


The dolls, below, were put out by Hallmark in 1979. Two are Molly Pitcher dolls and the other one is a Susan B. Anthony doll. I thought they looked cute in the pitcher with the flags.







I may pull out some of my craft supplies and make some new decorations to add to my collection. I figure it's one fun way to 'beat the heat':).


Happy decorating~and stay cool!

  3. Nice decorations! This year will be a little different on the Fourth of July since the place I have celebrated the past couple year burned down earlier this year. They are working on rebuilding so hopefully they be back next year. I am still planning things for the holiday.

  5. Hi RM.
    I like those little Hallmark Dolls. I have never seen them. I know now to pick them up when I do.
    You have a lot of cute 4th of July things. Hot and rain here.
