The Fourth of July is just around the corner....

I'm a bit late in posting about my patriotic wreaths at Etsy, but better late than never.  I think you could decorate your front door with a patriotic wreath all summer.  Here is my selection:





The last wreath is my fabric wreath.  I took many, many swatches of glittery patriotic themed fabric and pinned them to a styrofoam wreath.  I'm sure you can imagine how long it must have taken me, when you see how full it is and that it was created by hundreds of 2" squares of fabric.

I also have some patriotic quilted wallhangings and a door knob hanger on my Etsy shop:






The last two pictures are Debbie Mumm's patriotic fabric.  I just love them; especially since there is a tabby cat on them.  ;-)

The last patriotic item in my Etsy shop, is a patriotic beaded bookmark:

I've been kind of MIA....

I haven't posted here in quite a few months.  I've been busy designing items for my Etsy shop (http://www.melissascozycottage.etsy.com/) .  Lately, I've been feeling in a fancy mood...a Victorian mood.  Here are a few items from my shop that have a Victorian feel to them.  They are from top to bottom my Victorian Pincushion Basket, my Basketful of Lilacs and Lilies of the Valley Wall Pocket or Tabletop Decoration, my Sweet Victorian Pansies Wreath,  and my Victorian Garden Chair Tabletop Decoration (that one is very Victorian).  Enjoy and hope to see you at Melissa's Cozy Cottage on Etsy.com sometime!
