July CupboardScape

Happy Summer Thursday my friends.
Before I start my post,
would you say a wee prayer 
for the divers to find a local families son.
Unfortunately he dove off a boat in the middle
of our river, and the undertow took him
and he drowned last Friday night.
They have been searching for his body since.
We all know that you cannot swim
in the middle of the river.
The current is too fast and the undertows
will take even the most experienced swimmer.
This young man (21) was drinking with
his friends and decided to go for a swim.
It cost him his life.
The family has been sitting by the river daily
for the divers to recover his body....
so I am asking for prayers so this
family can have some closure.
It was a terrible tragedy.

Since I did not decorate last year for July 4th,

I sorta went overboard this year.

Every room except the bedrooms had some

red white and blue in it. 

For this month's CupboardScape,

I added some of my favorite stoneware.

A blue pantry box.

This piece I purchased from a sweet 

antique friend years ago.

She passed away this year, but I will cherish

this piece forever.

This stoneware piece is also a favorite because

it is a butter churn.

Now have you noticed the red white and blue

background in each picture?

It is not an American Flag but 

from the country of France.

You might be wondering now why would 

I include a flag from France in my 

CupboardScape.

Well It is because I am half French.

This flag was spotted by me at a sale last year.

There was no price on it, and when I asked

the seller if it was for sale, she stated that if

I could tell her what country it came from,

that I could have it for $2.00.

As you can see, 

I guessed right and it came home with me.

So even though it is not our flag,

the colors go perfectly with ours!

I scored with this $2.00 purchase.

Have you scored on a piece...

 and if so what did you pay for your score?

July 2019 Blessings To All!
