Decorated for the 4th {FINALLY}

I cannot believe that I just remember to decorate for the 4th, and then I did a half hearted job of it at that! I didn't get up into the attic to get out my favorite 4th decoration (Uncle Sam) for a variety of reasons, but I did buy a couple of new things for the mantle, so hopefully they will balance each other out of the effort scale...

Here is the mantle...

A close-up of the details...

The "liberty and justice for all" was aquired on super sale last year for a mere couple of dollars. It "lives" on one of the shelves in my office, since you know, the justice for all is kind of part of my daily life, but I busted it out it's everyday spot for this holiday. The little uncle sam in the parade car was purchased this week at Michaels on sale. I thought he was too cute to pass up for $6!

I also got this cute little bucket this week at World Market...

I went into World Market because I wanted to see these placemats and napkins that I saw in their advertisement...they have the preamble on them. I'm such a nerd that I totally covet those constitutional linens, but I'm waiting to see if they are still around on post-holiday sale. Anyway, I thought this little vintage looking bucket was so cute and totally worth the $3.99.

I bought some flags, 3 for $1 at Michaels, and made a little arrangement...

On the coffee table, I have a runner...

Outside, I have some flags...

and a couple of other things...

And that's all folks! Maybe I'll do better next year and Uncle Sam will get to see the light of day!

It's SATC Saturday Again

First, I will start you off with a little movie... Sex and the City- All the Best Moments from the Movie. WARNING : If you haven't seen the movie, don't watch this. Oh, and also please rectify this ASAP. Ann- they have the movie at your local TJ Maxx for $5.99. I meant to buy it for you when I was there and bring it to you at Robin's party, but I got distracted by lamps and forgot (sorry!). This week has been pretty lame-o on the updates front. All I have found is that there are reports of some drama on the set between Kim Cattrall and SJP. Of course there have been reports in the past that these two gals didn't get along (personally I think it is just because KC is a little too big for her britches and doesn't seem to always remember that SJP is an executive producer and Carrie is, well the star ). There are also reports that SJP is possibly a little overwhelmed with having the two new twin girls and little James Wilkie to take care of...
