Patriotic Displays and More!

Hi my Prims,

I just wanted to show you a few pictures of my homestead with some Patriotic displays and some goodies that I put in there spot from my swaps that I have done!!
Next week I am going to show you all my perennial gardens, they are breathtaking!
I really love working in my gardens and smelling the flowers and seeing them come up every year and then I do take alot of them and transplant them in other gardens. Mr. Hillcrest opened up our pool and I can't wait to start using it. We grill all summer long and have a fire pit and make smores around the fire. We really enjoy the summer!

So, back to my Patriotic displays, I am VERY PROUD to be an AMERICAN!!!!!!! For all the men and women that gave their life for us to have our freedom it is an amazing gift! God Bless their families!

Here is our flags on our kitchen table!!
Here are some close up pictures.



Here is my new lantern that Hubby spotted and we bought it. I just love it so much!!!! It is on our dry sink!

My good friend Jen sent me these GREAT prints and I love them. It was
a swap we did awhile back and I wanted to you all to see where I put them.

Here is another great prim print, isn't it AWESOME!!!!
Thanks again Jen!!!!!!! It really made my hallway Prim Perfect!

I love my little star made from a flag, NO I didn't make it, but I love it!!!

Here it is all together, I love tweaking and changing things up.. This is what I do and enjoy every minute of it!

The full view with my prim U.S.A flag!!!!!

A full view of the kitchen. I feel this is the heart of our home!

I changed up my stove board! You can do so many things with your stove board and for every holiday! I just love it.

The next picture is a close up of my strawberries!!

Another pic.




 I have my cheese box, my big huge basket which I love and inside that huge basket is an old basket and inside that old basket is a prim cat that a friend made for me and a prim doll that I bought.

Here is my old salt glazed jug that I bought and LOVE!Also did you see the Patriitic pillow as well.
Here is a close up picture of my new jug!

All I can say is I LOVE it!!!!!!! It just brings me back to the simply time of life. There is so much history when you buy something and sometimes the person that sells a certain piece to you has great information about that certain piece and that really makes it worth while.

Another picture of a flag!

My flag in my prim box and a stackable Patriotic boxes.

I think this picture tells it all.

Another pic.

This picture shows the cranberry scooper that we bought!

A closer look, on the side of the cranberry scooper which I should have taken a picture of it shows the cranberries on it. It is just a beautiful piece.

More Prim U.S.A flags in my crock, which you really can't see my crock but it is there.

This is a long post of pictures so if you need to get a cold drink and come on back that is fine. I will wait........

Great I see you all are back. Here are some more pictures.

Another U.S.A flag and SO PROUD of our men and women!

This bonnet you see was a swap I did. Tammy A Primitive Place did this swap and Pamela ws the gal that got my name and she sent me this beautiful bonnet and alot more prim goodies that I did post on my blog if you want to see what Pam sent me and I wanted to show you where I put the bonnet. I have be collecting bonnets. Here is a close up of the bonnet.I LOVE the colors Pam used.

  3. Tricia,
    I love all your flags and patriotic displays.
    And yes, I feel the kitchen is the heart of a home. We spend most of our time at the kitchen table for conversation, meals, hanging out reading the paper. I love that you shared your home with us. Thanks for the tour. Love your swap goodies too.
    Have a nice weekend.

  7. Tricia ... Your home is so beautifully decorated! I honestly can't pick out just one thing to comment on ... everything you have is lovely! Thank you so much for sharing these photos. Today it is raining here at the farmhouse so perhaps I'll finally put away my few spring decorations & dig out some summer/Americana ones. Blessings, Shirlee

  10. Gorgeous home, Tricia - simply gorgeous! I could wander around your lovely spaces for hours just drinking it all in. You certainly have a talent for pulling things together in wonderful little vignettes! Love all your patriotic displays (but it explains why I'm having problems finding any prim Americana things - you have them all!) ;o) Love your wonderful jug - looks huge...and some of my favorites are those great colonial prints - awesome!!!
