~* My Home For The 4th *~

I hope that everyone had a safe and Happy 4th of July! Ours was very low-key...we had a small cookout and watched fireworks from our home. I wish I would have been able to take pictures of all of the fireworks we were able to see...it was really neat to see so many on the skyline!
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I thought I'd show you a few pictures of my home...I had been wanting to get bunting for the railing of our porch, but had a hard time finding any. I was fortunate that I finally came across some at a cute little shop called, "Endless Possibilities" in Ligonier, Pa.
Well, that's all for now...thanks for stopping by. I always enjoy the company!
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Thank you for your sweet comments and birthday wishes for my dd, Emily. I still can't believe that she's sixteen! She loves her new car. I've taken her out driving every day, and she's been doing pretty good. We're fortunate to live in a rural area so there are a lot of back roads to travel.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Q and A Time:
There were some questions asked about my May 19th post, ~* My Oh My, How Time Flies*~ and I wanted to take the opportunity to answer them.
  • Did I make the curtains in my kitchen? I wish I could say that I did, but no, I did not. I found them at Kmart.
  • Where did I get my candle? It was purchased at Wal-mart, but I'm not so sure they carry them any longer. I know they don't at the one I shop at since it's been remodeled.
  • Getting the kittens spayed and neutered - we did have them all spayed and neutered, including the Mama. As much as I love cats, I certainly don't want a cat farm...LOL.

Your home looks great with the bunting. I love those! I looked for some too and wasn't able to find any, but will check the place you posted about. Maybe they will still have some?
Don't you just hate to take them down? If I ever get some, I will be so tempted to leave them up all the time! LOL!
Enjoy your day!
