Independence Day ~
With Our schedule packed with
summer baseball games :)…
I wasn’t going to decorate for
the 4th this year but then a
deliciously patriotic package
came from my dear friend Janice and
well…how could I not?
It’s not too late you know, to add
a few little
flag-waving touches. A little goes
a long way.
Thanks to Janice, the Summer bar is
now festively adorned…
especially love the little pennant!
I tucked a few of my
slimmest candles into
the coral…
Lit briefly, that ought to put on
a nice little show.
An old medal, won at
‘The Goofy Games’
in Disney World
fits the color
scheme perfectly and
makes me smile.
I gave the adjoining kitchen
a small dose of
‘Old Glory’ too.
A cool garland and
a darling plaid tote,
turned bread
box…( Janice) is so cute!
(I know...lucky me, right!)
Our etagere is
subtly dressed
for the occasion and
these spiky white ‘mums’
remind me
of the brilliant explosion of
fireworks that
lights up the skies over the
lake house.
Simple striped towels in a cool new
wire basket says ‘The 4th’ to me.
There’s even a ‘Union Jack’ or two
in the mix.
And on the back counter….
another simple basket of
holiday goodies. Let the fun &
games…begin!
And with a few little patriotic pieces,
artfully arranged, I’m
set for the
4th, and glad for it too.
It is after all…
America’s birthday!
Thank you Janice!!!
xxo,
Nice picnic basket girlfriend!

Since my British mother-in-law’s birthday was July 3rd, I’m taking your inspirational ideas and I’m including some Union Jacks this year. Happy Fourth of July, Monica!
Janice is wonderful! Love the festive bread tote and the Bingo game …under the B…beautiful. I better get my flags out and join in the festivities!
Julie, I’ll bet you have a cool collection of Union Jacks! Happy 4th!
