Red, White and Blue

I've been decorating for the Fourth as you can see.
I finally repainted my vintage chalk board with Martha Stewart chalkboard paint. The old surface was messed up and you couldn't write on it. So happy I took the time to do this.
The little banner is a freebie from Jenny Harris at her wonderful blog- Allsorts. You can download these freebies and cut them out then string them on bakers twine.
It's hard to take pic's through glass, but my dear friend Donna gave this to me and I used my vintage Uncle Sam and a cute Liberty tag I picked up. Can't remember where-sorry.
On the new mantle- a flag bouquet.
A little bit of Texas. I made the little Tx flag at a rug hooking workshop years ago.
Close-up of the embroidery-primitive style is always fun to do-no straight lines.
My big clock and patriotic horns in my entryway. I'm getting into the patriotic spirit! How about you? Dropping son off at the airport this afternoon-he's going backpacking in Europe for a few weeks. Lucky him! Wish I could do that. Have a great day!!

    Thank you for reminding me with your charming Uncle Sam (what a dear friend you have and wonderful gift!) that I found a repro of a Uncle Sam mechanical bank at my parents - now if I could just remember where I put it?!!

    Happy early 4th of July!

  11. Hi Leslie!
    I love your red, white and blue post! This is my favorite time of year to decorate and search my friends blogs and flickr for patriotic posts. Your home is a doll house! I love your wonderful collection of Patriotic pretties! What an awesome quilt you have so skillfully stitched! It is so perfect for your display!
