HAPPY 4TH OF JULY

Happy 4th of July to you! I hope everyone has a nice day planned! We are just spending a nice quiet day of relaxing on the porch. I love the colors of the 4th and I would like to share with you some things I've made this year and some of my decorating on the porch. I'm just trying my hand at altered art, not real good at it yet.

Below is a cake topper that I made using a paper cone, french ledgers from 1901 and some vintage clip art.

Please feel free to click on the pics for a larger view.

Here's some pics of my porch decorated for the 4th. I'll just let you browse.

I love my vintage ice cream palor table and love to decorate it for any holiday!

Another piece of my altered art, a tussie mussie to hang on the back of a chair.

One of my Holly Hobbie's that I invited for lunch.

A little 4th of July dress form.

I just cross stitched this little 4th of July picnic that I made into a little quilted wallhanging.

If you look close you will see some little ants carrying off some strawberries.

A few closeups of the big table.

My new Bethany Lowe Bowl

Altered art firecrackers.

This ice cream sundie my daughter made in high school.

This 4th of July house lights up but I don't have it lit right now.

The quilt on the chair is an old feedsack.

A few views from the porch.

A little cross stitch that I did years ago but still love it.

One of my Brandwine Houses placed in a wreath

New picnic dishes that I just got from Victorian Trading Company.

Thank you so much for stopping by, have a Happy and Blessed 4th of July!

Blessings, Shirl
