Some Red, White, and Blue...and Some Blog Fun...

Hi everyone!  It's been awhile since I've posted...
lots of family gatherings and beach time going on here!  
With the long winters in Minnesota, 
we like to enjoy every minute of these warm, beautiful days!
This week, I am beginning to add some summer decorating 
into our home...with red, white, and blue colors!  
Here's a few photos from the porch...





Next post I'll share more of the decorating I'm starting to do...but I have a little blog fun to share with you today, too...
some red, white, and blue ephemera and crafting goodies 
to help one of my readers do a little decorating, too! 















Fun, isn't it? 
If you'd like to throw your name in the hat to receive this, 
just leave a comment below 
and be sure I have a way to reach you by email!  
It ends Tuesday, June 14th 9 PM CST.

 THIS GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED.

Hope you are enjoying your summer, too!

Until next time...

    I think you are fearless and fun to put off blogging to have some warm weather fun, Linda. I think I may need to take a break soon. I'm in over my head!

    This is a really nice giveaway---you all the way!!

    Hi Linda, I love the pop bottles with the flag. I think I am going to copy that idea. :):) You inspire me. I saw on Sunday Morning(CBS news) with Charles Osgood, a feature of a man who collected matchbooks. I thought of you. The man had so many, some very odd and cute books. He was called an Luminist, one who collects matchbooks. I thought you'd like to know about that. LOL. Blessings, xoxo, Susie

    The weather has been gorgeous here in northern IL, too so I've been spending a lot of time outside and not much online! We need to take advantage of every beautiful day in our region, don't we? I love your ladder with the vintage linens...that is just gorgeous. Your vintage ephemera is perfect for decorating for the Fourth of July...yes, please count me in on this wonderful giveaway! :-)

    In Texas we've had rain, rain, and more rain - but in between we've had hours of sunshine without it being too hot. Love the red, white, and blue decorations, especially the one from Iowa (my home state). Have a safe and happy summer!

    I have seriously missed your posts and so glad you are back. I am amazed at your collections of red, white, and blue, and would love to see what I could do with those items. I already have a few antiques bottles, and at least one of them is blue.

    I'm sure you enjoy getting outside after the long winter. Just when you're getting out we're going inside to hibernate until the long, hot summer is over. Love all your red, white and blue.

    Your red, white and blue decorations are beautiful, Linda! Your ephemera pack is wonderful but the overseas shipping costs would probably be too high.
    Enjoy a lovely Sunday outside!
