Hello and welcome to Farmhouse Friday 355. Was your July 4th holiday awesome and did you party like it was 1776? lol. Here in Texas, it was too hot (100+ degrees) to do much but we mustered up some energy to walk the historical downtown square of Granbury, TX. To cool off, we popped into stores we usually wouldn’t enter and I found a treasure or two. We also stopped at a German restaurant for a snack and a little rest. I don’t know what happened but I woke up with a hitch in my gitalong. I hope it doesn’t take long to heal (insert rolling eyes).
If you want a unique upcycled can idea, check out a past Pinterest Challenge. It’s been 4 years and I still enjoy the lemony container.
A Lemony Summer Centerpiece Idea
FARMHOUSE FRIDAY 355!
As soon as I saw this little ol’ pitcher I was smitten. Rachel from The Antiqued Journey shared how to style thrifted items for summer. Check it out! Everything is so cute!
If coastal decor doesn’t say summer, I don’t know what does! You need to see how Rachel from The Ponds Farmhouse turned an oyster shell into this glam shell! Totally pin worthy.
I love unique handmade art and Michelle from Thistle Key Lane knows just how to create those beautiful pieces. Check out her entire summer tour for more fantastic ideas!
Jen at Midwest Life and Style just made my summer with her homemade citronella tabletop torches! She probably made everyone’s summer! So worth the extra click!

My pleasure Rachel. Each of your photos were so pretty!
We were supposed to host a 4th of July cookout but on Tuesday we checked the forecast again and it looked like the thunderstorms we feared would not improve, so we made the call to cancel it, and have a summer celebration later. And so glad we did because like clockwork, a shelf cloud came in followed by a monsoon of water— at the exact time our outdoor gathering was scheduled. So we just gathered at home and watched A Capitol Fourth. But it sounds like with your heat, you adjusted the plan for some fun. 🙂

I’m not sure we’ve ever ever had rain on July 4th. Where do you live? Thank you for linking up! Hope you have a great weekend.
I’m in SE MN. 🙂

Minnesota is on my list of places to see! I’m jealous of your cool summer days.
Sounds like we’re all getting ridiculously hot weather! Thanks for hosting and enjoy your weekend!

I remember having weird weather in years past and that we talked about it the entire year but I don’t remember it ever being over 100 degrees in June. I was really hoping the predictions of a mild summer were correct. :/ Stay cool Shelley!
Thanks for having us over, Cindy. Sounds like a fun way to spend the day. Hope your “get-along” gets better with a little rest!
Author
Me too. How are you? Did you have a great celebration? Hope you are taking it easy. Happy Friday.
Happy 4th, Cindy! It sounds like you had a great day celebrating. We are visiting family right now. Thankfully it wasn’t crazy hot here so we enjoyed the parade yesterday afternoon and fireworks last night. Tonight we are going to a drive-in movie!
Thanks so much for sharing my DIY citronella torches. I appreciate it.
Hope you stay cool and enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Oh my golly, I can’t remember the last time I was at a drive-in movie! Have fun and thanks for linking up. It’s my pleasure to feature all your creativity and handiness!
Thanks so much for the feature this week Cindy! I hope your hitch in your gitalong is better soon! I’m pretty excited over the rain coming our way, and a nice cool down from those triple digits!
Author
Me too Michelle! I heard thunder and got so excited! It’s always great to see your links and I enjoy featuring your beautiful ideas.
We had a big get together at Nika’s yesterday. Jared’s car broke down on the way here, so we are all working on getting stuff fixed today! I have the two older kids while they figure things out. Thanks for hosting! Glad you had fun yesterday!

Sounds like fun. We have such a small family, I’m not sure any of our get togethers will be big. 😉 Glad you had a good time and I know they love you being able to pitch in and keep the kids. Thanks Julie

This heat is exhaustipating! I feel like I’m in Texas with real feels.over 100° here.
Those tiki torches are super clever.
I hope whatever messed up your gitalong gits along real quick, Cindy.

Exhaustipating is right! Thanks Rita.
