It’s Flag Day! Out comes my beloved American flag collection from the old wicker hampers in the Summer Room. I’ve been collecting vintage flags for some time now, and it all started with just one old Betsy Ross-style stitched flag that I found at a yard sale. It always took center stage on the front door of our 1767 saltbox. Since then, I’ve culled together new and old small flags on wooden dowels that adorn my kitchen garden and planters all summer long, to an oversized flag that is so big it can only be hung on the side of our nineteenth century barn. Buntings and banners have their perfect spots too around Connecticut Country House.

I truly feel that my Connecticut Country House is at its loveliest when it’s all proudly decked out in our beautiful Red, White, and Blue!

Happy Flag Day!

Love, Nora

    With your full header and footer showing there is little room to see the actual post. I have a large monitor, but still have to scroll to see parts of the picture.

      H Marilyn! You may need to minimize the size of the post. So sorry about that. Love, Nora

    Oh, what a feeling I get each time I see a flag. Thanks for bringing FLAG DAY to the forefront today!

    PS Hoping you will share with us your house tour of last week end.
