thrifty decorating 4 the 4th

Above - a thrift store find.  Small commemorative glass tray.

I really thought I was more careful to write down where I stored our 4th of July 

decorations when I put them away last year.  But I seem to have forgotten WHERE I wrote it down..

 So this will have to suffice--what you see is what you get!

The t-shirt I'm wearing today was purchased last year (or the year before)

after the 4th.  $1, if I remember correctly.

(I've tucked a few blue stripes into my jean skirt, so they're not so visible;
and a bit of the glitter has washed away from the stars, etc.
but you get the gist of it....)

I decided I could tuck this flag (thrift store or garage sale purchase)

into the wreath made of old bed springs.

These hang on free shutters found curbside.

Happy Fourth of July to you!

It couldn't get much thriftier here.

Getting creative with what's on hand.
