America things remind me of my birthday – because I was born on 7/3 and for the first years of my life, I’m pretty sure I thought that the fireworks were for me.

What they weren’t?

Anyways, lately, I’ve been drawn to red, white, and blue things. Here are a few of my favorites.

Grain sack table runner from Jennifer Lyon’s Etsy Shop. The dining table we picked up from Craigslist has a water ring right in the middle on one end that I’ve been covering up with whatever textiles I have around the house, but this one would match these napkins I picked up from Kohl’s when we were in Montana a couple weeks ago.

They are on super sale right now for only $2.99 each.

Love this headband for days at the lake.

And this scarf, also from ThreeBirdNest’s Etsy Shop since our weather here in the PNW can be a little temperamental.

I’m picturing my dining table with a vase full of sunflowers. Some delicious grilled chicken and a strawberry-rhubarb crisp to ring in the big 2-5.
