Happy Fourth

The fridge is stocked with all kinds of summer-y eats and we're ready to chill out over this long holiday weekend. Have a happy & safe 4th of July!

Flag By Ethel

Embroidered with care by Ethel, this hand stitched flag has been patiently waiting to fly free 'n proud here in this space. I think I love the tidy backside of this piece just as much as the front. Ethel was one meticulous lady. A happy & safe 4th of July to all you American readers!
