Softer Shades of Red, White and Blue Decorations for Memorial Day


I have the more "private" area of the front porch decorated for Memorial Day in softer shades of red white and blue......
.


The more public side of the front yard is decorated in the bright shades of red white and blue....you can see a sneak peek if you look in the center of the wreath.    I hope to get the front yard decorated tomorro and I will take some photo's and do a post.


I  planted some geraniums in my pink boots and added some pastel flags that I made.

I also added some striped bows to the chairs by the front door.  

 I made a rag garland to add to the existing door wreath.


My cowgirl dress form got a rag garland added to her existing outfit.....  


I added a bow and some geraniums to my cowgirl's boots.....


I took a photo from inside the house looking out the front door..... thru the wreath.... just for fun


I am still working on some bouquets to put out at the cemetery for Memorial Day.    

This one will be put on  my mother and daddy's headstone.....
