Patriotic Decor

 

Are you feeling patriotic this year? I'm planning on celebrating our country's 250th birthday with some red, white and blue...in the garden, and in the home.

Walmart has a great collection from My Texas Home, and it's adorable. But so much of it sold out immediately. Waah! They had the sweetest pillows and striped buntings, but they were gone before you could blink.

I was at the store today, and almost bought this wreath. But then I asked myself "Can't I make something close with my wreath at home?"

And here's my knockoff!

I cut some strips of chambray with pinking shears, added a few more lengths of ribbon and lace.

This little stitching project has to be more than ten years old, but I still think it's sweet.

I didn't leave Walmart completely empty handed. I purchased these floral stems at a great price.

It's a bit early to be thinking of summery things, especially when you consider that we won't even reach 50 outside today. I was just ready for a change.
