Which led to a hutch redo. I don't usually decorate in red, white, and blue, but what's a girl to do? The star was a thrift store find for $1, it was originally blue.
Wire basket? Bust? Two- and three-dollar thrift store finds.
The basket got a shot of black spray paint right before the photo session.
Ya got me! Mini cloche-tastic. YES. Princess House. Thrift store.
The tassel was hanging around from a holiday shopping bag. The eggs are (painted) courtesy of a family friend, who wondered why I painted all of mine the same. (You gotta love friends who will come over and paint eggs, though.) Ouch.
There were a couple of other things I wanted to add, but got tired of waiting for Six-Foot chick to get the ladder out of the garage. Oh well, you didn't know anything was missing, did you? This is first in a four-week series that will post on Friday or Saturday with ideas for July 4th.
Thank you to everyone who helped make Fabric Fun Thursday a s-u-c-c-e-s-s! Next week I will leave it open longer. Don't forget my Giveway:
If I'm not at "Home," I'm partying with:

ReplyDeleteVery cute eggs! I would never have thought to paint red white and blue. Great job!
ReplyDeleteKim, your patriotic eggs are very clever and add a wonderful punch to your displays. I adore patriotic decorations and look forward to your future posts. Stop by for a visit at HFTS if you have time. I have left several patriotic posts as well - today's was about flags; Thursdays about Uncle Sam and Lady Liberty. Hope to see you ~ Sarah
ReplyDeleteI love all of your red, white, and blue decor! Perfect for summer or anytime at all!
ReplyDeleteNow the eggs are about the cutest things I have ever seen. I absolutely love your new hutch displays. Everything is just wonderful, Of course you knew the cloche would catch my eye and the baskets are just fabulous too. Well, actually, I think it is all fabulous. Thanks so much for joining the party. Love it. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteToo cute! They just 'make' your vignette!

Your eggs are too good for this but they'd make a sensational dozen served in egg boxes for the 4th. Wow! Jane F.
