**** NEW PICS BELOW****
Hi y'all! I'm still alive and kicking! Made it through the "big Move"....a 26' foot truck, 3 guys and 1 day....now to unpack! (of course it was 85 degrees on moving day and yes that's sweat).
We're having family over this weekend for a 4th of July BBQ and I NEED to decorate still (who cares that there are boxes all over the place, right? I'll just decorate around them :) or paint them red, white and blue....just kidding.....maybe). The pic of all the vintage goodness is a display at the boutique....tonight when I get home and I am going to decorate now that I've been inspired by.....
YAHOO! As promised (a few days late but here none the less) are a few of my vintage 4th of July decor (until my camera DIED...always something, I tell ya). I pulled my rubbermaid tote of 4th of July Decor and thought 'GREAT! I have a ton of stuff" um, no, as I started pulling it out I realized it was just the boxes the stuff came in....I wanna got to Pier One and get one of those FAB handtowels like Shannon found. Anyway, I used only what I had on hand....

White vintage pottery, vintage army black and whites and a few new pieces....
LOVe this pair of vases? Bookends? I got at Goodwill last year....throw in a few red and blue books and VIOLA! Red, white and blue! (notice the book on the end is called "Life in America"...from a local church sale....bought it knowing it'd be the perfect prop for my 4th of July decor)
Aren't these FAB?!?! Red, white and blue sweethearts! I wish I would've gotten several more boxes so I could've filled my gumball machine!
