Welcome to Debbie-Dabble Blog!!
And the are underneath it....
Click HERE if you missed that post!!
Grief now comes in waves at times since the first year after Joe's passing is over....
And for some reason, yesterday, on Father's Day, it hit me like a tidal wave......
I needed to give myself some grace.....
Yesterday was also one year since I last saw my dear friend Anne Marie when she came to visit....
She too was gone in only a few months after telling me she had stage 4 uterine cancer....
I guess I will have days like that at times.....
Today, I will be finishing up the tour of my Living Room decorated for the Patriotic Summer Holidays....
We will start at the front door.....
To the left of the door....
A vintage marble topped plant stand.....
I placed it here until I can come up with something else to do with it....
Any ideas????
On the front door.....
A plaque that I made.....
I tucked a Patriotic coaster in this lantern......
I embellished the birdhouses that I bought at Gabes with vintage style tags....
The bottle has George Washington on it and I put a set of bottle lights inside of it...
I like to decorate this chair for the different Holidays and Seasons....
Patriotic desserts and treats......
Under the chair....
I also bought these 2 lanterns at Sears when it was closing....
I taped music sheets of Patriotic songs to the back of them....
Added ornaments and stars.....
In this lantern, I added a Patriotic card....
And a hat...
I added a bow o the top of the smaller one....
And placed a metal truck sign in front of it...
My second Patriotic Tree in the Living Room.....
I decorated this lighted branch Tree with red, blue and silver ornaments....
This is the only room that I decorate this way in the Summer and it will stay this way until mid July when I change to over to my "Under the Sea" Coastal theme for Late Summer....
I hope you enjoyed seeing my Patriotic decor!!!
Thanks to those who took the time out of their busy day to spend a little bit of time with me!!

Love your decorations and the bells. I think I am going to use more bells at Christmas. I love the red, white and blue. Another rainy day here and if it's not rainy, it stays overcast.
ReplyDeleteDear Deb, grief does come in waves. Time helps but there are certain triggers for sure. Hugs))

Barb,
DeleteI didn't think Father's Day would bother me but Joe would have so enjoyed the Twins at this age and that got me....
Hugs,
Deb
I absolutely love all of your patriotic decor! Your home is always so fascinating to me, the way you change and make it look so different for each holiday! I know your children and grands have to love it! Also, I'm sorry fathers day was so hard, the firsts are always the toughest, but I'm glad you give yourself grace to grieve and miss your husband. Hugs!
