I am ready for some fireworks, how about you?  Its a perfect holiday to play with pattern mixing … stars & stripes are made for each other. And as we are talking about getting a dog here – because life isn’t busy enough! – I could not resist this puppy and his oh-so-patriotic bow tie.  Too precious.  Hope you like this…
