Do you celebrate Flag Day and the 4th of July?
I decided it would be fun to have a red white and blue tree for the summer holidays and was doubly inspired by some of my favorite blogging friends who are having a Patriotic Friday with Tree Classics Blog Hop. Be sure to see Jen Lutz’s tree here, Shirley’s tree at Houspitality Designs here, and I’m looking forward to trees by Stacey at Poofing the Pillows on June 15, and Mary from Home is Where the Boat is on June 22
HH & I have really enjoyed a pencil tree we bought for the beach house
It is pre-lit, tall and skinny, doesn’t take up much space, and fits perfectly between the 2 sets of French doors to the porch
We enjoyed it for Christmas, with aqua ornaments and beachy things, for a Coastal Christmas Tree
Then in January it transformed into more of a winter tree with snowflakes
In February it changed completely for Valentine’s Day & Mardi Gras, “half and half” tree, since the holidays fell right next to each other on the calendar
One side decorated with pink and red, hearts and ornaments
Mardi Gras masks, beads, and ornaments on the other side
Then it turned into an Easter Egg Tree
“So, what’s next, flags?” HH asked
“Oh, that would be really cute for the summer holidays!” I exclaimed
“You know, I think it would…” he said
But it was only April and we were a little tired of it, so I put it away for a while…
Yesterday I had planned to go shopping but it started storming so I looked at what was in my red, white and blue stash… the tree was floating around in the back of my mind, and I certainly didn’t think I had enough things to decorate the tall tree…
But I did!
I had burlap blue anchor ribbon and some red & white plaid
I had lots of small flags and Uncle Sam hat picks
Red white and blue bicycles and pails
Funky flag glasses
And a cute Lady Liberty statue that I bought this year
Stars and stripes bandanas cover the tree base
A beach boy Santa and surfer nut cracker are hanging out by the tree
Happy Flag Day!
It’s a Red, White & Beach Tree!
