Happy Flag Day!!
I thought I would share what our original flag looked like!!
I am proud to live in Pennsylvania, which was one of the original Colonies and has so much history!!
I am also proud to be a second generation American on my Dad's side and a third generation American on my Mom's side!!
I am the granddaughter of Polish Immigrants with my grandmother never learning English and died before she became a United States citizen as my grandfather did not obtain citizenship before she passed away...
My Dad and his 7 siblings were Birth Right citizens, having been born in this Country....
For some reason, my Aunt Della is missing from this picture!!
My Dad and his 4 brothers went on to serve during World War II....
They truly were the "Greatest Generation" , born from Immigrants to this Country!
I have flags out in the front of my house today...
You can tell that it is raining again....Our 13th weekend in a row!!!
Happy NO KING'S Day!!
But PLEASE protest with all your might PEACEFULLY!!!!!
Today, I am continuing the tour of my Living Room decorated for the Patriotic Summer Holidays.....
My Living Room has been decorated like this since mid May and will stay this way until mid July....
I am proud of my heritage as the granddaughter of Polish Immigrants....
My late husband Joe was also the grandson of Polish Immigrants with his maternal grandmother never speaking a single word of English right up until she passed away in 1977....
My Mother in law and her 7 siblings were also Birth Right Citizens....
This is why I love decorating for the Patriotic Summer Holidays....
My Ancestors came to this Country in search of a better life!!
Last year, in July, I painted this paneled wall in a faux paint treatment to make it look more like a brick wall.....
This is what it looked like before painted in a peach and aqua faux paint treatment to match the walls....
I do like the moody romantic look it casts upon the room.....
The faux window I made out of a mirror.....
2 plaques that I made....
I kept the bells out to represent the Liberty Bell which is located in Pennsylvania!!
A wreath that I made....
And a plaque underneath it that I also made....
I made envelope pillow covers in red....
Adding a set of both red and blue lights.....
The top of the Tree.....
I am going to let the pictures do the talking as I shared a lot of the ornaments for this Tree in my last post....
Again, I am going to let the pictures do most of the talking.....
A Liberty Blue dish in the center of a Dollar Tree tinsel wreath.....
Joe bought me this sweet bear, who sings "God Bless America"
I kept out this white ceramic tree after Christmas and draped wooden beads over it.....
In a previous post, I shared my "Patriotic "Mantel"
Thanks to those who took the time out of their busy day to spend a little bit of time with me!!

Your red, white and blue decor certainly pays homage to your family's roots and to your patriotism! ❤️ 🇺🇸 ❤️ I loved learning more about your family's history - thanks for sharing! Happy Flag Day, Deb!
ReplyDeleteI love your patriotic living room! Red, white and blue are summer colors to me and everything is such a celebration! We are a mix here, my ancestors were here before the Revolutionary War and my husband is 3rd generation from Polish immigrants. And that makes us both American!!
ReplyDeleteI decorated my porch in red, white and blue this year. My youngest grandson was delighted I did it all for his birthday. He was born on July 4th. He is young enough I think he may believe that the parades and fireworks are all for him!
Happy Flag and Father's Day. I know your son is reveling in the joys of being a dad! Your holiday room rocks the flat!
ReplyDeleteYour patriotism and enthusiasm for decorating are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your kind comment and for taking the time to visit!!
DeleteHugs,
Deb
Hi Deb..God Bless America, greatest country on Earth!
ReplyDeleteBeautifully decorated. Both Carl and my ancestors mainly from Germany, Scandinavian and Britain.
Proud to be American!
Hugs Barb
Barb,
DeleteThanks again for visiting!! I do enjoy my Patriotic decor as I am a lover of the color red!! Have a great weekend, my friend!!
Hugs,
Deb
Your tree looks so lovely! My grandfather traced our ancestry back to the Mayflower so I was a 9th generation English immigrant on his side... and I don't know the rest. Though I know we have lots of English and French (or perhaps Canadian French) in our family tree.
