At The Picket Fence with Vanessa Hunt

Where Ideas for your Home Meet Inspiration for your Heart

4th of July Recap and Remembering Why

It’s been fun spending this last week getting the Picket Fence ready for the Fourth of July! We had to admit getting to share all of our holiday décor with you all is definitely incentive to go all out!

We have made it easier to eat outside by creating a Dining Caddy out of a Goodwill find

Then tried our hand at an even easier No-Sew Bandana Pillow using rubber bands and ribbons! You could make these the morning of the 4th for easy, instant holiday color!
Up next we took the Bandana idea one step further and created a No-Sew 4th of July Pennant

Of course it wouldn’t be summer without flowers! We tried our hand at this fabulous Flower Tower which couldn’t be easier to make!
We welcomed you into our home at the Fence with a fabulous and easy addition to a wreath for that perfect patriotic touch!
And, last but not least invited you to join us at The Blooming Hydrangea where we are guest posting and serving up this easy and fantastic festive dessert: Layered Berry and Lime Glazed Cake!

We hope you enjoyed visiting us at the At The Picket Fence where Vanessa

We want to wish Americans everywhere a Happy Fourth of July and remind you to take a moment to remember the WHY behind this holiday!
We on this continent should never forget that men first crossed the Atlantic not to find soil for their ploughs but to secure liberty for their souls.  ~Robert J. McCracken

We have enjoyed so much freedom for so long that we are perhaps in danger of forgetting how much blood it cost to establish the Bill of Rights.  ~Felix Frankfurter
