When I helped my friend Beth http://bethleintz.typepad.com/ redo her booth earlier, I took photos of it, saying that I wouldn’t have any red white and blue to post for July 4th and wanted to use her patriotic display that we made.
So here are a couple of shots of her antique booth. She does have cool stuff.
And then, my match box swap partner http://www.hophopjingleboo.blogspot.com/ sent this piece to me, along with the box full of goodies. I added glitter and punched a star in it to tie a ribbon onto it.
While I was sitting at the craft table, I noticed the stack of matchboxes that I bought for the swap. hey, r,w, & b!
(and yes, of course I saved all the matches from the boxes I emptied out)
My glazed pottery jar full of markers was on the work table, and I saw that it was along those lines of patriotic colors too.
I looked around the studio some more and saw a white ironstone cup full of blue bird feathers, sitting on a post card featuring red roses.
I also noticed a collage I had done last year that had this little gal with red roses and blue forget me nots in the center.
The first stepping stone outside the studio has red and blue flowers in stained glass (and whitish cement).
And there are red begonias, white dusty miller, and a blue plumbago outside my door too.
I can’t forget Ole Blue! My ’81 Ford Ranger that has an 8 track player in it and came with a box of country music 8 tracks under the seat when we bought him.
My little red gazing ball has blue flecks in the glass.
Happy 4th! Our coolers are packed and we’re headed to the lake.
Ohh what wonderful red, white and blues. Have fun at the lake and when you get back you can still join the parade at Merryville xoxoxo Clarice
Yes you do have red, white and blue. Way to go. I love how you added glitter to the little patriotic piece. Looks great.
I hope you enjoyed yourself at the Lake.
