To Decorate or Not Decorate


Y'all know that I've been hitting the thrift shops, garage sales, and boutiques for holiday decorations. I love to decorate for the holidays but I don't like to spend a lot of money on holiday trinkets. Lately I've found a ton of thrifty things for the holidays at discounted prices. That way if something gets weathered I'm not too upset because I got so cheap. Here's my question: My neighbors on my street put up their American flags but don't have any other holiday decorations up. I'm guessing a lot of people don't decorate for 4th of July. I found all sorts of great Americana things that I want to dress my porch with. Do y'all think it's too soon to put my 4th of July things out? The holiday is 3 weeks away. However, I leave up decorations for Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Easter for weeks at a time. Should I decorate this weekend or next?

I think it is never too soon to put up Americana. You could almost leave it up year round!! :)

I would definitely start decorating for the 4th. Like you said, it's only 3 weeks away. Wow~ I didn't realize how close it was.

Looks pretty! I'm sure your guests will love all the red, white & blue. I don't decorate for July 4th, but enjoy seeing it. Thank you for coming by to see me.
