I Bleed Red & White

I saw the title of this post on a "Canada Day" t-shirt this year.  I LOVE it!!  I love my country, and I love celebrating things.  So, long before the first of July I pull out the flags and the red and white.  Not everyone in my family is quite so patriotic.  But we still love each other!  ;)

O Canada

Our home and native land

True patriot love in all thy sons command.

With glowing hearts we see thee rise,

The True North strong and free.

From far and wide,

O Canada

 We stand on guard for thee.

God keep our land, glorious and free,

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee!

Nod to the Nations

I can hardly believe that we are one week into July already. I'm not entirely sure where June went. We had our second high school graduate this year. So June was filled with exams, prom, and grad. We also opened up the trailer, and hubby and I have celebrated our 26th wedding anniversary! Phewf!!

This post is as close to a table scape as I have done since Father's Day. For those of you who know me well, it will shock you to know that we headed to the trailer on July 1 and I did not even do a Canada Day table scape!! I am known to be quite a patriotic Canadian. So I promise to do better next year!





After our daughters graduation, we went out for Chinese food, and then back to our house for cupcakes! Her school color is blue, so I pulled out a small embroidered card table tablecloth that I picked up at the thrift store. I put a picture of our daughter on a plate stand, and some little gold star candles in front of it. When we returned from the graduation ceremonies, her boyfriend stuck her grad hat on top of her pic to make it look like she is wearing it!!




I love these cute little grad cupcakes that my sister, Lisa, ordered for the occasion. Too cute!

This week, I decided a change was in order. I left the tablecloth, but as a nod to Canada Day and Independence Day, I filled my rustic tool box with some red, white, and blue transferware. (Better late, than never...right?)

O say, does that Star-Spangled Banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

DIY Flagholder

Good Friday morning everyone! The wonderful weekend is here again! This morning I wanted to share a quick DIY project with you all. A few years ago my hubby and I made these flag holders. All you need is a deck post cap, a drill, paint, and of course your flags.



This project will not take any more than 15 minutes. Hubby drilled three holes at a slant so the flags did not stand straight up. I put a coat of black paint on it, and when dry I stuck the flags in. (Could someone please press the "Easy Button"!)



There it is, your new flag holder to celebrate the 1st or 4th, depending on the side of the border that you live on!!!
