Vintage Inspiration #94 Patriotic Party and a Give Away

You didn't think you'd get by without a
 sunporch 4th of July now did you?



I love to change things up on the sunporch for the holidays and seasons, so decorating with a patriotic feel lasts most of the summer. I found this great Patriotic Bunting a few weeks ago and knew this was the perfect spot for it.






 My hubbs collects old flags, so I stole borrowed this one which is out here year round. It's faded and worn, but says so much to me. I think it must be an old school room flag, with 48 stars. I have it draped over my old chippy door.


Each year it's something different out here, as I like to change up the quilts and pillows. This time I went with my frenchy red toile quilt with ticking and floral pillows and a needlepoint one in the middle. Patriotic, but romantic...


An old plant stand is one of the girls' favorite perches

and a zinc flower bucket with a little "red, white, and blue"






Hope you enjoyed the visit!



Here's some great inspiration from last week:

 Succulent wreath and tutorial at One More Time to Celebrate



 Angela from Number Fifty Three had some Bucket Envy and 
found a great way to come up with her own version!


Jennifer from Town and Country Living, used an old crock and gave it an updated Frenchy look with a Graphic's Fairy graphic.



shared this wonderful "girl's bedroom" from her local home tour.
Don't you love this large as life message center?
