In honor of the 4th of July, Kari and Kijsa are hosting their Fabulous Flag-Flying Fourth party. Everyone can come!
I feel so blessed to live in this country and I love to celebrate Independence Day.
We usually have an impromptu gathering of a few friends at our house around fireworks time. Our house is on a hill so we can see several community displays from our deck. We can also see everyone who sneaks over to Ohio to buy the good fireworks. Major fun!

I like to light some candles to keep the bugs away and I saw a fun idea in a magazine. Here is my interpretation. Some red and white tapers, a blue bowl and some sand. The magazine where I saw the idea used cute metal buckets but I just went with what I already had.
Note to self - No more dollar store candles. Drip, drip, drip.
Have a wonderful 4th!

Happy 4th. Just wanted to tell you how much I really enjoy your blog. Added you to my blogroll to spread the word.
Enjoy those fireworks.. be safe.. Susie h~
Have a wonderful 4th!!
Have a wonderful time celebrating and honoring our country.
Where are you?? I live in Cincinnati.
Have FUN- I wish we had that kind of location. I love to have people over- but we live in such an urban setting that it's hard to host large groups. Our house is huge- but there's not much outdoors.
Have a Happy Fourth!!
Your candles look great! Drippy candles have their charm too ;-) Maybe you can angle them so that the drips only fall on the sand? Have a terrific holiday!
Hi Kimba and thanks for stopping by my sunporch! Yes, paint works wonders, doesn't it? Oh, I just love your outside candles in the sand. Such a cute idea.
Have a great 4th and
Be a sweetie,

Happy 4th!

Great post! And I love your candle idea, may just have to "borrow" that one! LOL! And I love the dripping candles...adds to the character!
Have a great 4th! Rhonda ;)
Those candles are such a cute idea. I'm using that one for our next BBQ!
You are the very best! We LOVE your candles!
Thanks for flying your flag proudly!
Have a blessed and wonderful day!

I love the candle idea. And I would be flying my flag, but we put a shepherd's hook right in front of where the flag would go. The flag wasn't out, and we were obviously not thinking. It would get ripped to shreds if we put it out...haven't had the presence of mind to change locations! Hmmm, maybe that's a project for tomorrow morning!
What a fun idea!
Hope you and your family and friends have a wonderful 4th of July!!

It looks great flying from the porch. I love it!! The candles in the sand is a neat idea. I like using what you have even more.
