Let Freedom Ring!

I tweaked my display for the 4th of July holiday

weekend. I love how I can change this up to

fit the seasons.

I made a black and white copy of the vintage flag

postcard that I have had for some time and then

tore the edges to give it some texture.

This vintage page came from a 1945 songbook.

The candles have a song page wrapped around them titled, count your blessings. We are most certainly blessed to live in a free country!

Flag Song

Out on the breeze o'er land and seas, A beautiful banner is streaming; Shining its stars, splendid its bars Under the sunlight are beaming. Hail to the flag, the beautiful flag, The flag that is red, white and blue!

Over the brave long may it wave, Peace to the world ever bringing; While to the stars, linked with the bars, Hearts will forever be singing. Hail to the flag, the beautiful flag, The flag that is red, white and blue!

I am linking up today with Debra @ Common Ground for her vintage patriotic party.

Come and join in the fun!

Praying that you have a beautiful 4th of July weekend as we celebrate our free country and those who fought and died for her.

Blessings~

White Wednesday Makeover ~

I took everything off of my 5 foot long shelf

in the kitchen yesterday and redecorated the

whole thing for fall~

I purchased the jug that has the hydrangeas in it at the flea market down on the corner this summer for $1.00. Love these sparkly pears and old ironstone lid ~

I purchased several of these small white pumpkins at the festival last Saturday. 5/$1.00. Love old bottles, silver and mirrors ~ along with mercury glass candlesticks and old lace~ Loving vintage photographs ~

and

white~

Have a beautiful day today and be inspired by things

that you love and already have. Just move them around

from room to room and make it look totally different

with fresh arrangements ~

Be sure to visit Kathleen at Faded Charm to see more

White Wednesday posts.

Blessings~

Antiquing in Allen, Michigan

I went antiquing today in Allen, Michigan and came home with a few treasures. I got a lovely vintage hat, a vintage baby bonnet, this adorable family picture, two silver spoon key rings and a gorgeous tablecloth! Love this old vintage hat and it was only $2.00...couldn't pass it up.

Aren't these key rings neat? I love how they are made out of old silverware. They were $1.00 each and I thought that was a steal. The baby bonnet is precious also. I love the ribbon.Here is the lace tablecloth that I purchased....it is very old and has no holes, but it has a few stains that I need to work on getting out, but it is even so gorgeous as is. I will take a picture of it on a table soon so you can see just how gorgeous it really is. Enjoy and Happy Tuesday!
