Adding buntings and flag banners to our porch makes me feel nostalgic… for lighting bugs, popsicles, folding chairs out on the lawn, bbq, fireworks, baseball, blue hydrangeas along a picket fence, & eating watermelon on the rind 🇺🇸 ❤️🤍💙 the “good old days.”

All your nostalgic summer porch decor can be found with my friends @balsamhill 💙 they are currently running an up to 40% off sale + free shipping to celebrate the start of summer. (I’ll link my decor in stories for you!) 🍉 #sponsored

I got this clothesline for my birthday last year. And it’s all I hoped it would be 😝

Hanging laundry to dry is one of my favorite chores. It brings me peace and cuts down on our electric bill 💵, not to mention our clothes are fresher than ever. ☀️
These are the tips I’ve gathered over the last year. I hope you’ll add more tips in the comments! 💛

Want to build a clothesline like mine? I have a complete tutorial over on my blog https://greenvalleygable.com/buildanoldfashionedcountryclothesline/ 🧺

Yesterday was not easy. It was 90 degrees in the smoldering sun ☀️ priming and painting the (still unfinished) chicken coop. 🥵

Things still to do:
☑️Paint the door
☑️Add the gable bracket on the front
☑️Haul a big sandstone in for the front step
☑️Finish framing the permanent run & wire
☑️Add a permanent metal roof & fascia
☑️Add shelving and hooks inside for storage

Shewww. Maybe I shouldn’t have written out that list 😅 <you can tour the inside of the coop in my story highlights> 🐓

What did you do this weekend? 🇺🇸

A double wedding ring 💍 quilt. I have two of these; this one is the newer of the two with 20+ years of use. It’s the most comfortable and most used quilt around here.

This quilt pattern gained popularity in the 1920s and 30s; it’s considered among the most popular of patterns & Commonly a gift to newly weds. 🎊

Do you own any double wedding ring quilts?
