Vintage Yard Decor and No Sew Patriotic Denim Banner

I've been taking a break from crafting and blogging and enjoying the sun, our pool, the ocean, good food and good company. I've been getting some long overdue exercise with my buddy, Carolyn, at pilates, walking and some bike riding. Water aerobics is on my list this week, too :)
 Now, I'm back today to share this banner that I made for our Memorial Day gathering. It's gonna be perfect to use for the 4th of July and Labor Day, too!

Old jeans, craft paint, a few stencils, painter's tape, clothesline rope, and some red beaded trim from my stash, along with some hot glue, made my easy patriotic banner.

First, cut the fabric of your choice for your banner, then paint your stencil design. Then, simply fold the top edge of the denim over the roping and hot glue spacing each pennant evenly apart.....
No sewing at all!

Hot glue or use fabric glue to add your trim of choice into place.



 It's hanging out front of our house, now. It will stay up until after the 4th!

Now, here's a peek around the yard at some old antiques that I use for planting.

This is my old, "Fitchett Brother's" milk box from Poughkeepsie, NY.


These are our "No Sew Sit Upon's" that I made last summer. They really do cushion our butts on the hard, brick steps!










Even "Gucci" likes a cushion!
  


 My new wheels and lawn decor!



 I think our neighbor's see Gucci here a lot!

Well, I'll be back next week to share more of my new old bike with you. It's a vintage Hercules "klunker", as my sweet friend, Kathy, says...LOL!

  Love, Hugs and Kisses,



JP
and Gucci, too!

Mixing Winter & Valentine's Day in Our Living Room

 It was time to decorate for Valentine's Day and I decided to let the winter theme, from Christmas, stay. I just added some hearts and love into the mix.

In most places it's still snowy and cold in February, so, it made sense to enjoy it for a little bit longer.


Our little snowman couple made it's yearly debut and sits perfectly on the window's edge.

The "sock snowmen" cuddle up together to show a little bit of "love!"


Grandma and Grandpa's vintage, brass heart is my favorite part of this little vignette.

A rustic banner of love with a little glam hangs in just the perfect spot.

The winter sled stayed as did our Christmas tree....the first time past the 6th for me!

Strands of pearls and red, silk rose petals are the perfect addition to our Valentine tree.

My cherished, red satin, chocolate box found it's own special place under the tree.

And a simple, boa heart tops the tree.





Off to the corner of the room is our 2014 " Ladder of Love"....I'll be sharing that and a few more things from around the room in my next post.

Time for me to relax and enjoy me some "American Idol!"

 To see more of my Christmas decor...check out my November & December 2013 and 2012 archives that can be found the left of this page!
 Love, Hugs and Kisses,
JP
