Summer Decorating...

It is feeling like summer here!  With temps in the 90's today, the summer decorating I've been slowly adding feels just right!  
As I mentioned in my last post...
I love red, white, and blue in the summer...

Isn't this fun old plate?  I found this last fall at the thrift store and knew it would be a great piece for summer!


We have a lot of family gatherings around this table...



A vintage minnow bucket filled with Scrabble letters 
leftover from my Junk Bonanza selling days, 
makes a whimsical holder for flags...



A great Americana painting has an unexpected home on this hanging grocery store chalkboard...


The chalkboard was a thrift store find, and I found the painting 
at a garage sale last summer for $5...


I added a little red to the hutch...




Red signs add a graphic touch...



I love the look of a vintage flag...



and a great old truck.


A fun little necklace of stars 
makes this mannequin ready for a party...

  7. Oh, everything is just so gorgeous! What a great use for that minnow bucket! The watermelon plate is absolutely beautiful. And the old Tonka truck ... swoon. I never would have dreamed I'd feel that way back when I was fighting over Tonka trucks in the sandbox with my brothers!

  14. You are GOOD my friend! My husband would love you for your patriotic decor as in the first few photos. He's a history buff and knows everything and anything about every single president right up to #44!!!!

    Love what you've done. You can't go wrong with red, white and blue. Not only does it meld together, summer hosts some patriotic occasions! Again, ask hubby.
