CAN YOU STAND ANOTHER PATRIOTIC MANTEL?
I don’t know why I bother changing my mantel between Veterans Day and July 4th, but I’m back to the red, white, and blue. So…I’m sharing a red, white, and blue mantel for the second time within a month. For Independence Day, I crammed a lot of patriotism onto the mantel.
I kept changing my mind as to a favorite part of this one. At first, I was all about the party hats. That cracked me up. By the end, I had to give my favorite vote to the Spirit of '76 stuff, especially the plate.
ReplyDeleteI love red, white, and blue!!
I love the patriotic plates!
ReplyDeleteLove the patriotic mantel!
ReplyDeleteYou're having too much fun with those little tiaras! FUN Post!
