America's Fourth of July Party

It is almost time for America’s big birthday celebration, July 4^th!  Barbecue, watermelon, apple pie, fireworks, and flags are part of the big celebration.  Front porches and gardens pop with red, white, and blue.

For collectors of patriotic antiques and  it is also a time to show off their collections.   If you have thought about starting a patriotic collection, now is a good time to begin.  Antique shops and shows will high light these items around July Fourth.  Uncle Sam, Lady Liberty, Stars and Stripes, and American Eagles are popular items. 

Here are a few porch and yard ideas for July 4^th along with some patriotic antiques found on the web.

Enjoy and Happy 4^th of July!
