I don't know why I enjoy decorating for July 4th so very much. It might be because there are so many cute things to put outside. I'm pretty sure I posted these Patriotic Paper Lanterns last year, but I really just love them. They come in a set of three that includes two small patriotic stripe lanterns and one large fireworks lantern, with metal inserts for hanging. They would be so cute hanging on a porch or patio. The Patriotic Paper Lanterns are regularly around $20, but right now they are priced less than $10 for the set.



I probably watched the movie Pollyanna one time too many as a child, but I loved all their old-time patriotic decorations with their July 4th Celebration. Bunting is one of those things that just makes a house look so festive. We only use it for Patriotic holidays and summertime, but it is so charming. Thank goodness this Patriotic Bunting is made in the USA, and is priced starting at $25.
