Fourth of July Past. . .

Many of my followers know that On Crooked Creek
was lost into cyber space for nearly a year and a half.

During that time,
while I was unable to access my blog,
I posted photos to face book with short descriptions.

So~o~o. . .
I am creating a post from of our Fourth of July Past decor.

 

My vintage dress form, affectionately named "Lizzie"
(shortened form of Elizabeth) was brought into On Crooked Creek's Entry Hall
for our family Fourth of July Celebration!

I draped "Lizzie" in a U.S. Flag
and embellished her with a vintage lace collar,
a strand of heirloom pearls and cameo
and added two Dollar $tore U. S. Flags tucked into the crease of her shoulder.

Simplistic Dollar Tree paper fan folded in half
and a Dollar $tore U.S. Flag add a touch of "fan fare"
to the vintage piano sheet music holder behind the front door.

A touch of red, white and blue
was added to On Crooked Creek's Dining Room buffet and hutch.

A Fourth of July Fanfare Centerpiece 

created using Dollar Tree accessories was truly co$t effective and festive!

I used two packages of $1 paper folded fans,

two $1 plastic pinwheels and one $1 U.S. Flag tucked neatly between
vintage creamy ivory ironstone plates and saucers and faux red hydrangea.

Love the heirloom vintage white towels with red embroidery
for cushioning the vintage ironstone and as a table runner!

One last simplistic Fourth of July decoration
for the built~in china cabinet within On Crooked Creek's Dining Room.

As you celebrate this Fourth of July holiday,
may you pause and reflect on the true "co$t" of the many freedoms we experience.



Until next time. . .
