You’re a grand old flag, You’re a high flying flag
And forever in peace may you wave

You’re the emblem of

The land I love

The home of the free and the brave

Every heart beats true

‘Neath the red white and blue

Where there’s never a boast or brag

Should old acquaintance be forgot

Keep your eye on the grand old flag

Summer essentials…boots and umbrella for that unexpected shower…even when there is not a cloud to be seen!

When you live in an almost 100 year old house with an awesome front porch, how could you not show off your patriotic best! I love a vintage house with vintage decor. Let’s hear it for the Red, White and Blue!

Our porch railing was made for bunting and a fluttering American flag.

An antique workbench dressed up with flag garland and enamelware.

It is such a pleasure to rock the afternoon away and watch the world go by.

Bunting may be too tattered to use on the railings, but it has new life on a bamboo ladder.

Our All-American Princess shows her patriotic pride.

The temperature is rising, the pool is filled with splashing water and laughter and I didn’t hear the school bus drive by…it Must be Summer. That magical season that felt endless as a child and much too short as an adult. Time for shorts, picnics, lazy afternoons and a week of day camp (for the Princess, camping is just not my thing), white shoes and the first stage of Patriotic decor…don’t worry it progresses with the Summer Days.

Isn’t it amazing how a few flags in colored glass bottles can make your heart skip with Patriotic pride?

An enamelware coffee pot on the mantel? Yes please! With lots of flags!

I love when the garden has perfect timing with blooming flowers!

My Hero and I, in our patriotic finest.

Our Princess and the greatest of Summer treats! Ice cream for dinner on the last day of school.

I was a featured Blogger on Create and celebrate! Join me at this great month long party. 

I love primitive style…soft old quilts, wooden crates, industrial metals…make my heart sing. I was really excited to discover another soul who appreciates the old and imperfect. I love the tips Junque Cottage shared in her Primative decor blog posts. Beautiful!
