Summer is the perfect time to sit back , relax, vacation and display your patriotic spirit!

And here  are a few ideas that will take your simple summer florals from WOW to POW, with a splash of Red, White & Blue!!

During the summer months, decorating your home with hearty red geraniums is very popular.

These flowers also look GREAT with a touch of Americana added in!

In the photos below, you will notice how nice the white door basket & white wicker planter look… simply filled with red geraniums.

However, when Veteran’s, Memorial, Labor or Independence Day rolls around, simply placing a few flags in each

is a wonderful way to easily add some Americana!

INDEPENDENCE DAY CELEBRATION TIPS:

• Don’t forget to play patriotic music if your party entertainment will include fireworks.  Music always sets the perfect mood.
• Make sure to place unused, scented fabric softener sheets in ALL of your pockets to keep those pesky summer mosquitoes away.. and you’ll smell pretty darn good too… BONUS!
• Do you have an Independence Day Birthday in your family or want to bring your hostess a nice gift?  Why not use this patriotic time of year as your inspiration and wrap your gift(s) accordingly…  check out the idea I came up with.

Enjoy the Creativity!
