Have a Happy Fourth of July!

I'm a day early, but I wanted to go ahead and wish you all a Happy Fourth of July! And may God Bless America!

A patriotic tea trolley makeover

It was time to do something new with the tea trolley décor, so for July (and maybe the rest of summer), I've pulled out Old Glory and some blue-and-white tea wares!

The Bicentennial plate was a thrift store find during a trip to Wisconsin to see family a few years ago.

This tea came from my friend Nancy's shop, the Carriage House in Senoia, and I told you about the Tetley tea tin last week.

I have just a few blue-and-white tea wares, but they all seem to play well together.

And it seemed appropriate to include a plate commemorating the Boston Tea Party.

A few more things may get added, but here's what I have so far. On Thursday, Lord willing, I'll be one of 200+ folks from my church who have volunteered to hand out water bottles along the July Fourth parade route downtown, then I'm going hiking and swimming with a friend. How will you be celebrating?
