Getting Patriotic Around Here

                   Memorial Day BBQ ~

                                                       Happy Memorial Day Weekend

              
              The Man in Blue is My Daddy, an Air Force Vet, retired Civilian, and Santa.

             Thankful of the service our military has provided so that dreams can be chased and lived.

                                            I have this Natural Americana decor that I love.

                                               Stars are the focal point of my collection.

          Some day I hope to own a All Holiday Tree so that I can hang these ornaments on. Only once that happens I will have to get more table decor ...   hehehe.

                                I put together a wreath that I got from the Dollar Tree...

I just twisted the wire stem to the wreath form, I was wanting to put a Candle Vase in the center

 but I thought it looked better here

            On the first trip I spent $7 for the wire wreath & some flowers, only to not have enough so I went back and bought $7 more in flowers. 4 Blue 4 Red 5 White, I had a few left over which is ideal for filling in a spot around the house.
      One thing is if you notice the other pieces have a vintage cream look to them and the wreath does not. If I get around to it I will coffee/tea stain, giving it the right look.

                                           I did a coffee staining with these stars

                             Yes, I had some left over coffee; reheated = revolting so I put it to good use.

  

        This is hanging on my bedroom door .... can't take a good pic cause the narrow hall or angle the with open door.


         Saturday was the BBQ for my sister's business team and I had got the place all prudied up, did a few projects. Got some plants with my sister for the yard and fiddled a bit out back.
                           Sounded a little like my Granny there - she would always fiddle about something.

                                
                                                    Table ~

 
                                I put this together for the table; I made the burlap balls.
                                               More about them tomorrow on Tabletop Tuesday.


                                                In the Game Room / File Room / Office.

                                          The Living Room gain a few pieces here and there

                               

                               The Kitchen and Bathroom getting touch with the Patriotic Look






            
                                                                      And the Entry

     

                 That is what the House looks like Saturday Morning; I will keep most of it up till after the 4th of July, may change it around some - the Game Room table won't stay that way, it is used as a file table..... ssshhh the table cloth is hiding file boxes.

                        My Room's touch, wanted to do a bit more but just never got around to it.

               
                            Happy Memorial Day
                                              until next time,
                                    Mia
