Flag Day is Monday and Fourth of July is around the corner. RED, white, and blue are the colors of American Summer.
I was at Walmart and found this great new throw...........
Sorry, but this is not my porch, ...wish I had a day bed and porch with enough room for it.....it's dark out right now and there's no way to get a good picture....so, I found this pic on Walmart's website of the throw. I love the vintage look and it'll be great on my porch swing.......
(This is my old throw.It is my Favorite throw, but after 15 years it was ready to be retired.)
especially with pillows made from ......
This 1940-50 love worn table cloth in a Native Amrican motif and
this Southwest harvest motif.
I have some new creations that show thier true colors.
This little Angelic Inspiration is about 65 years old. Her crocheted dress and hat are original. I added her vintage 1940's doily wings and embellished with sequin stars, an American red paper rose, and a new flag.
Included is a wonderful book, Poems of Patriotism by Guest. This book has so many poems still relevant
today. She is $24.99
There is another Angelic Inspiration honoring our National Flower....... 
She is a 1930-40 composite doll with her original hand-tatted dress, but I added her 1950's hankie skirt in a rose mothif. Her wings are a 1940-50 doily and she holds a garland of hand-tatted edging with paper red roses. She sports a matching headband. She is $34.99
I can't wait to show you pictures of my completed porch and I really enjoyed creating these patriotic dolls. I hope to have more soon available at my Etsy shop. Link is on the side of blog to take you to my Etsy shop.
I'm happily linking this post to my friend Susan's blog over at It's a Very Cherry World for her,

I remember having those types of dolls when I was younger. My mother even made a few..She would 'store' toilet paper roll under the dress...lol
Your dolls and your throw are perfect for me ^_^ Love the reds! Happy REdnesday.

Hi there! What a lovely and interesting blog you have here! I love vintage, home and family so I'm enjoying my visit immensely.
Thank you so much for visiting my blog and leaving a comment. In answer to your question I live on the peaceful side of the Smokies near Townsend, Tenn. I'll be putting new pics of soon of a recent trip to a fabulous mill we just visited.
Love the colors! Great new throw! I love your old retired throw too! Those don't ever really get retired, do they? They always find their way back out I think!
Hi My Friend. Your dolls remind me of one that I have put away. The dress was crochet by my mother. We have enough rain that the rivers are out, but we didn't get the storms thank goodness. I hate these waiting sessions to get things done. I just wish it would be done the next day. I get impatient. How are you doing with all of the air qualities not being the best at the moment? My oldest is going to be my driver when they give me the test that they put me to sleep. I know he will have problems, but with it on Friday he said that he would have two days to rest up. He enjoyed being my driver when we went to Ashland Nebraska. We will be doing some more during the summer that is for sure and he can do the driving and I will furnish the car. You have a great day. Your Missouri Friend.
Hi Melody,
Love the doll in the pretty red dress! Very cute.
You've got to try and get to Lawrenceburg next month. Its their 25th season anniversary, so they are expecting a big crowd.
I haven't been to Burlington this year yet.
Kimberly :-)
We liked the quilt you picked out - it will look perfect on your porch! Love your dolls, love the face on the last one :)
Have a nice weekend Melody!

Oh Melody, Your dolls you created are so darling, I love them. I really love your new throw too! Thanks for visiting and commenting on my dream of living by the shore. I hope that it works out but it not now it will be in the future. I hope your dream of the smokey mountains comes true for you!
Hugz,
Kim
Love it!
