REDNESDAY

Time to share our red hot REDS over at It's A Very Cherry World, where Sue is the coolest hostess around!

I've been busy Red, White & Blue-ing it up outside! This is part of my collection of old flags, out on the back porch. The '76 flag is a recent addition, found while on vacation. I almost didn't get it, because it was twice what I wanted to pay for it, but my husband convinced me that Old Glory Cottage needed it!

This birdcage, already painted red, was also a vacation garage sale find. The cage was sitting on a table, marked $5.00. I thought I would try to haggle the price down to $3.00, until the seller said "I've got the stand in the garage, if you want it".  SOLD, to the girl who already has way too many birdcages, for $5.00!!!

For now, I've got it sitting behind the porch swing.

With little flags flying inside!

Some back porch decorations. Those are lights stuffed inside that star-shaped basket, and it's a nice little welcome by the back door at night.

Paper lanterns hanging on the front porch.

I found a huge piece of foam for 25 cents at a garage sale, so I made a cushion for the back porch bench. I just wrapped an old tablecloth around it. I know, I know, it looks kinda silly because the cushion is SO thick, but it's a proven fact that as our butts age, they need a soft place to land! Now, if you would like to see more reds, head over to It's A Very Cherry World!
