I'm still working on that shelf to hang my new cute banner. We've got the shed building going on so I have a hard time getting my laundry done let alone visit blogs or work on cute things. I did want to show you what we made a while back but just got hung this morning. We have a glass/window shop in our little town (Sander's Glass) that sells old windows. They put in the new, fancy, good for the environment windows and take out the old cute ones. They sell the windows for $10.00 each. No matter what size. Love it. So I bought a window about flag size and wrapped it around a piece of beadboard.Then I held it in place with little finishing nails. This tool is from Harbor Freight (years ago). It pushes the nails into the wood. I don't know what it's called but it sure works great.

I didn't know Sander's Glass sold old windows--thanks for the info!
Your flag is cute--what happened to the one that was on your old house that Jensons left? I always loved that one.
Awesome! Can you make me one?
My b-day is coming:)
I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!! Does this mean that I can put my flag window up? It's not too early? :) I have been wondering.

That is so cool. I gotta get a window. I bought my first one the other day in a antic store in Logon Utah. I haven't finished it yet. Send me your user name and I'll invite you to my blog. Love you porch.
Sue,
I love the flag and your whole porch!
Blessings,

There is a flag in this post that I would love to frame...a mini quilt flag. THANKS SO MUCH for the excellent idea. I didn't just want to put it out there in the weather but it's perfect for my red, white and blue porch! I love your little goat cart with the flowers in it, too!
XOXO

Everything about your home speaks love and creativity! Love you porch and you flag looks perfect there!
Looks GREAT Sue! I was there a few weeks ago looking for an old door with windows, but had no luck - maybe they only do windows!
I love that!!
That looks perfect on your porch. Great price for an old window, too.
Oh...I love that.
LOVE!
I love it! I really want to find me an old window frame now! Your house is so darling!
Hi Mimi Sue,

No Way!!! That looks so fabulous on your porch. Country Homes magazine is on their way, I'm sure. Or maybe Oprah and her team! : )
So So Beautiful!!!
Mimi Su! I love that window.. in response to your question on the vanity tray mirrors... I take them totally apart and then spray paint - much easier! Hope you are doing well.. thanks for stopping by to see me - i always love hearing from ya!
I want one Mama! It is sure cute!
Golly but I love this! I have an old wondow in the basement, I need to find a flag to go inside it!
I love it!
And your porch is just perfect.
*jealous*

I sure love your front porch! I am partial to yellow myself cuz our little farmhouse is yellow, too! What good taste we have!
I really think your framed flag is great - what a neat idea to keep it flying and still keep it neat and clean! I may have to find me an old window frame!
I'd love to see some more photos of your house. I'll have to do some reading backwards!
I love the framed flag! It looks wonderful on your porch.
