for a Red, white and Blue Challange!

I only had to purchase the flags!
Everything else I found out in the garage.
It was just what I needed to
dress up my porch for summer!
I made one for my Mom and Dad, too
It ties in nice with my spinning
flag holder centerpiece.


It was fun to make, after I figured
out what angle to drill the holes. ;)
I'll post a tutorial later,
if anyone is interested.


I love the patriotic punch
it gave to my porch.
It is staying up right
through Labor Day!


We spend so much time on our porch.
I took this pictures as the sun was setting the other night.
Love to light the candles in the evening.

It's fun to spin!


I have a lot of red on my porch ,
but decided to add more blue this year.
I have had lime green with the red in
the past, so the blue is a nice change this year.




The garage sale porch swing
is the favorite seat
of everyone this summer.



I found these great tags on Etsy this year.
So cute!


Love fresh flowers in the house.
Pop in a flag and a tin star
For a little 4th of July decor.



I have red and blue throughout my house
so it's fun to put little patriotic
touches here and there.



tag again.....



These fresh flowers are in my
front room bay window.



All of the blue transferware was a garage sale find
a couple of weeks ago.
$3.00 for all of it!
Just what my red hutch needed
for the 4th.


I'm looking forward to spending the
weekend with 3 of the kids and my Hubby.
Just missing our oldest and his wife!
We will all be together in about a month
and that will be a reason to celebrate
all on it's own.
Have a wonderful 4th of July!

Blessings~

I would love a tutorial on the flag holder too! Love this idea although I don't have a front porch.....I could put in on the arbor that you walk under to come up our front walk. Great idea! Your porch looks so relaxing and fun. Love the colors.

Your porch is so homey - I'd keep the flags up on it year round if I were you! Great decorations all around, and the blue plates look great in your cupboard!
