Vintage July 4th Party!!

It's hard to believe that July 4th is right around the corner!! June just flew by and summer is in full swing! We usually celebrate the 4th in the usual and customary way with a picnic somewhere and then watch the fireworks at night! Last summer we purchased a cottage on a lake and had a picnic there. We weren't able to watch the fireworks there, but we hear it is something to see! All the lake people get out on the lake with their boats after dark and watch the fireworks from their boats!! We so plan on doing that this year-sounds like fun! So to give all the celebrating a head-start, I'm joining Joan at Anything Goes Here for a Vintage 4th of July Party!! Here are my vignettes I put together for the occasion!Flags and shovels for some beach fun!
Some folksy handmades with patriotic colors!

I love this huge homemade rag ball and the hooked star!


Grungy pincushion and fun with my anagrams!

I dressed up my little bear with a patriotic hat so he can ride in his little wagon with style!


More patriotic colors and a fun vintage Tom's popcorn tub!


I hope you enjoyed my little tribute to our red-white and blue!! Check out Joan's blog and join the party!! Have a safe and wonderful Independence Day!!!!!

  25. Hi Julie! Don't know how I've missed coming to your blog, but I'm following now! I stopped and stared at your beautiful blog header...just loved the picture! And your Patriotic vignettes are stunning. My favorite is the one with the rag ball and the vintage transferware cup with the hook rug flower. Did you make those? That's a craft I would like to learn (along with a 100 others!)

    It's so nice to meet you!

    ~*~ Happy 4th ~*~
