I am a Victorian Soul, who lives in a small townhouse that was built in the mid 1970's, not a huge Mega Mansion!! I just recently lost my Hubby Joe, who was a Retired Letter Carrier. I worked night shift as an RN on a Hospital based Rehabilitation( Physical Medicine) Unit for 37 years before I had Knee Replacement Surgery and officially Retired in 2019 after 41 years working in Direct Patient Care ... I am so glad that we retired at 62 years of age and got to spend that time together before he passed....I still do love Retirement!!!!

I DABBLE IN A BIT OF THIS AND THAT!!!!

 I shared my Patriotic Summer Tree in that post!!

I like to decorate the top of our TV Entertainment Center as if it is a Mantle....wishful thinking on my part as I can not fit a fireplace in our Living Room......
I now have it decorated for Summer with a Patriotic Theme!!
On the left side......
The Avon goblet and plate were Salvation Army finds.....
A red ornament sits inside the goblet with George Washington's silhouette on it....
The Liberty Bell is pictured on the plate......
The Ladies in my family of Patriotic Carolers that I bought at the Christmas Tree Shop several years ago....
The Patriotic cup cake also came for the Christmas Tree Shop!!

In the middle, sits a small Tree........
A bow made from Patriotic ribbon is the topper.......
Small red and blue ornaments decorate the Tree......
The Carolers flank the base of the Tree.......
This vintage Memorial Day card is decoupaged on a piece of wood...It was a yard sale find!!
The right side......
 The Gentlemen of my Family of Carolers.....
 Again, another plate and Avon Goblet with Martha Washington's silhouette on it.....
   Along with the red ornament in each goblet, I also added a small flag to each.....

 When I first took these photos, I started off with this Patriotic plate........
  I later switched it out for this Liberty Blue plate.....
 This display will stay up until after July 4th......
Other Patriotic Decor through out our house.......

I have the colored candles set on White, Blue and Red and look great in the evening.....
 In the hall way which leads from the Living Room to the Kitchen on the mirror next to the coat closet..........
I bought this sweet Broom Lady at an Estate Sale for $3.00 a couple of years ago.....
And this wreath that I made hangs on the Powder Room door.....
Another wreath that I made hangs on the Living Room Fake Window/Mirror.......
  With a Patriotic plague that I made hanging below it.....
Love the vintage style tag on it!!
And of course, I love how it all looks in the evening......
The larger Tree.....


As I said before, these decorations will stay up until after the 4th of July!

We have had awfully hot weather here........

I have been trying to get the patio and the back yard set up.......

I will give you a sneak peak......
I've been doing a bit of spray painting.....
Planting some seeds......
Planting my annuals in my pots....
I still need to buy a few more annuals to plant in some more of my pots......
  And putting out my Yard Art....
   Soon, I will be sharing the Patio and the Back Yard once I get it all finished.....

So I hope you will be back to visit soon!!

And thanks to those who took the time out of their busy day to spend a little bit of time with me!!
