Gearing up for a celebration!!!

Where did this month go?  Next week is the 4th of July and I haven't even finished my June book work!  Man this year is flying by! 

In honor of our nation's birthday, I put together a little display of July 4th decor for my booth at Midtown.   

I bought a box of 4th of July decor at an auction a few months ago...it had some banners, little flags and this nifty little "God Bless America" tray!  I made some flag pillows (only one is pictured)!  Blue with stars on the front, red and white stripes on the back...soooo cute! 

The chair was a neat little project.  I bought an old, ratty metal "ice cream" chair at an auction a few weeks ago.  I had some red and white nylon fabric leftover from the pillows so I decided to make a patriotic chair...perfect for a porch display!  I had some patriotic blue (seriously, that is the name of it) spray paint!  I thought I had enough to do the chair, but after I emptied the entire can I found a few spots that still needed touch up.  So back to Lowes....only problem is they don't have that blue paint any more.  But I found a blue that had a "glitter" in it...really pretty and very appropriate for a "celebration" chair! 

Nifty little display!   

Enjoy the holiday week...so much to do here....ball games, fireworks displays, rodeos!  

I hope you have a great week celebrating the birthday of the greatest nation on earth!
