Memorial Day Red White and Blue

It's time for a little bit of Memorial Day preparations

Some red white and blue in honor of our soldiers who have sacrificed dearly for our freedom.

In the shop I gathered some ruby fenton glass and some cobalt plates and set them on the
 Frenchy  table I recently  painted white. 
I added in some white lace, I picked up on a recent Florida purchasing spree.



Moved things around till I was content.





My dear sister, who is back in town now made these napkin rings.
I just call her Pickier

The adventures of Picky and Pickier  will begin again now ;). 
She just loves to go junking with me, and visa versa.

We managed to get the window decorated also in a red white and blue theme for the upcoming Memorial Day Weekend
Here is a peek at the window with some white enamelware trimmed in red.
 Some little flags thrown in here and there, and as always my favorite....
vintage bottles, this time in cobalt blue


I love decorating the windows for the Holidays.
This one will work for Flag Day June 14th and Independence Day July 4th
(Let's see If I don't get bored and change it a bit)

And back at the Cottage, a fitting table ready for breaking some crabs from Ricky's


Yumm I am already thinking about steamed mussels

I hope you have a happy upcoming Memorial Day... the official start of summer... yippee..
It's only 2 weeks and 3 days away from Memorial Day weekend!!

Yeah like in August already?

My Birthday and Fourth of July

It's my Birthday  today!




 and the big summer holiday weekend is upon us already! Can you believe it? Seems like it took so long for summer to get here!

I am heading down the shore to my beach house. yippee!!




 This weekend is always fun, It's Fourth of July weekend!!
What do you do on 4th of July?
Get together with family or friends or both?
We BBQ, like most people.
Do you have any great recipes to share? Feel free to post a link in the comments.
 I'm always on the lookout for some special holiday treats. Only one condition, it has to be easy.
Any family traditions?
My sister makes these cute napkin rings for the Summer Holidays.



I like to bring out the vintage table cloths



And I usually always make this cake.



Which is the simplest thing in the world.
I use angel cake ( you can bake your own if you want)


  • 1st layer in vanilla pudding
  • break cake into pieces for 2nd layer
  • layer of whip cream
  • decorate with blueberries and strawberries to resemble a flag!!





Happy July Fourth weekend!!



Have a good one!
