Decked out for the 4th of July

I love holidays...

and while I would

 be hard pressed

to pick a favorite

there is just something

about the 4th of July

that gets me every time...

maybe cause it's summer

and it's just a relaxing kinda 

holiday!

 The saying goes that

"Necessity is the mother of all invention"

well in my case

Necessity is the mother of all crafting!

I wanted to spend my money 

on a well made American Flag

and bunting....

so that left very little $$ for 

other things.

But I did have

2 buckets of baseballs.....

an old pallet....

and yards of burlap

A quick search on Pinterest...

and here is what I put together.

Chalkboard with the pledge of allegiance

written on it.

Two painted burlap flags tied onto

a Y shaped piece of driftwood 

Sweet Husband found....

tucked into a garden urn filled

with coral...

I think it turned out right cute! 

  

old baseballs painted 

red, white and blue

burlap pendant flags

I just painted the burlap

(inspired by Pottery Barn's)

And our favorite project....

A pallet flag!

I LOVE IT!! 

Sweet husband likes it

so much he wants

it to stay up all year..

And I kinda do too!

Another view of the bunting..

 The mailbox had to have a little something

One more picture of the flag...

I hope everyone is enjoying

their summer...and gearing

up to celebrate the 4th!
