Our Independence Day!

I rarely do color in my house, but it just seemed appropriate for the upcoming
holiday. This is a vignette that I put together for our back porch entrance
into the house. I had another one made before this one with buttons strewn
about etc. but it looked too "busy" to me so I started over and am pleased
 how this turned out.

{just noticed the banner is a little wonky off to the left. It was "hung up"
on the string , but it is okay now. YOU just can't tell it! HA!}

{ I printed out my free USA banner here }

I added this vintage American Singer book that I picked up at a thrift store a year or two ago.

Don't you just love this print? I found it online also.

{ I printed it here }

Loving my white fabric with white stars...you know ME and white!

One nation UNDER GOD indivisible with liberty and justice for all!

{ I set the time to 4 o'clock in honor of the "4th" }

I have also had these vintage red, white and blue buttons for quite some time.
Very appropriate here don't you agree?

It would be nice if this candle had a "4" on it, but it didn't. And so it goes...:)

I pray that you all have a wonderful time celebrating our Independence Day
this year. What a great moment in history!

I love AMERICA and I am
 PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!

10 years ago today...

Our nation was brought to it's knees.
We were severely wounded and life will never be the same for many Americans, but thankfully somehow, someway we survived.  I will forever remember all the men and women who gave their lives that day in the worst attack on American soil. I continue to pray for all the families affected and the bravery of the firemen and policemen will remain in my heart. God bless each and every one of you as we remember this tragic day and
God bless America!!!

Let Freedom Ring!

I tweaked my display for the 4th of July holiday

weekend. I love how I can change this up to

fit the seasons.

I made a black and white copy of the vintage flag

postcard that I have had for some time and then

tore the edges to give it some texture.

This vintage page came from a 1945 songbook.

The candles have a song page wrapped around them titled, count your blessings. We are most certainly blessed to live in a free country!

Flag Song

Out on the breeze o'er land and seas, A beautiful banner is streaming; Shining its stars, splendid its bars Under the sunlight are beaming. Hail to the flag, the beautiful flag, The flag that is red, white and blue!

Over the brave long may it wave, Peace to the world ever bringing; While to the stars, linked with the bars, Hearts will forever be singing. Hail to the flag, the beautiful flag, The flag that is red, white and blue!

I am linking up today with Debra @ Common Ground for her vintage patriotic party.

Come and join in the fun!

Praying that you have a beautiful 4th of July weekend as we celebrate our free country and those who fought and died for her.

Blessings~
