I always enjoy finding ways to use dollar store items in my craft projects. Who doesn't love a good deal? Since I've been doing some crafting for the Fourth of July, I decided my craft would combine patriotic colors with some dollar store items. You can make a patriotic wreath using items from the . . .
Patriotic Starfish Coasters
I love adding red, white, and blue to my summer decor, but I also love finding ways to incorporate our patriotic colors with my coastal decor.

Easy Flip Flop Chalkboard Art
I enjoy changing up this framed chalkboard seasonally. Most recently, it had a spring time look to it. Now that the weather has warmed up-we're hitting ninety degrees in Charleston this week- it's time for a summer chalkboard. Gloria and I both live in flip flops for much of the year, but with this . . .
Late Summer Wreath
A late summer wreath is a wonderful way to begin transitioning your decor from summer to fall. I am so looking forward to fall, but the temperatures in Charleston remain summer like.

Patriotic Upcycled Decor
From North of the Boulevard~ Just in time for Flag Day on June 14, I put together this patriotic decor project. It's a fun little upcycle project using items I already had. This will be great to use for July 4th decor, too. How easy was this? A few items and about 15 minutes easy! . . .
Bird Bath Fairy “Garden”
Last year I spotted a number of pins of bird baths being repurposed as fairy gardens and I thought they looked awesome. I happened to have a standard concrete bird bath that wasn't doing anything to enhance the look of my lawn. I decided to create my own little fairy garden, minus the real plants . . .
