I'm Proud To Be An American!

Dixie Belle, Sassafras & Ruby Fawn celebrating the 4th!

Happy Independence Day! We are so blessed to be born in the great United States of America...and even though our country is going through a lot of "stuff" (The Cranky Queen will not talk politics on her blog), I know that IN GOD WE TRUST will get us back on the right track!

Above is a little "Star Spangle Banner" vignette 

to brighten up our gloomy Alabama weather

 

 

Both the donkey & the elephant are represented on this Independence Day table! Aren't these little vintage planters adorable!

My fav is the elephant (hint~hint)

 

The crazed pitcher depicting a ship has been around for a long time.   I am not sure where I found this piece when living in Oklahoma, but I know I have had it for at least 20 years. I have always loved Americana collectibles...

An old Grapico soda bottle serves as a vase for flags

The little sailor girl says a prayer of American thanks

The Cranky Queen has been "MIA" for awhile...

I hope to start blogging more often...
