My town has a Fourth Of July parade where the kids decorate their bicycles and ride down the street with all the pageantry of a Norman Rockwell painting. I love that schmaltzy sort of thing.
In my dreams. There’s still that small matter of a few missing tires.
I started out just putting a little bling on the wheels and next thing I knew I was making a crepe paper medallion for the basket full of petunias which was wrapped in a gingham tea towel.
I had to stop myself.
BTW, I decided to keep Trixie on the porch instead of using her for garden decor. I couldn’t let her get all rusty and crusty. Us older girls need to look out for each other.
that is so dang cute! you are such an inspiration! 🙂
Yippee for crepe paper! I just might be having craft room withdrawal after seeing this post! Happy red, white and blue!! Happy 4th!
Trixie looks so festive!
I think the porch is a great place for her.
Happy 4th!

That is SO cute, Pam! Really would be perfect in a parade…just makes me smile! Happy 4th!
Oh my word, I love this. How cute can it get. Don’t forget, you can still link up to Inspire Me Tuesday – – -http://www.astrollthrulife.net/2013/07/171st-inspire-me-tuesday.html Hugs, Marty
She looks adorable, and I’m glad she’s on the porch for now…she’s look like she’s had plenty of adventure and needs a break to just be pretty!
I agree don’t let Trixie get all rusty. She is too special. Love the bike parade nostalgia too. Really cute!
Better than bunting. But I’m sure you have that somewhere, too. Go, Pam.
Trixie looks great and I’m glad you are keeping her out of the dirt!
Don’t let that missing wheel bother you, I didn’t notice it the first time until you mentioned it. The same thing happened to me when I brought my 2 not as nice trikes home, then I noticed one had 2 different wheels on it and the other had something goofy but I can’t even remember what it was and I don’t even notice it now!
Happy 4th!
Oh my goodness! Absolutely adorable. I bet the parade is something to see too. Wish we lived in a neighborhood that did something like that. So sweet.
LOVE your sweet bike. Sharing on Facebook. I decorated my bike too.
Pam, I just LOVE what you did to that darling little bike – I didn’t think the cute factor could go up but you made it happen. Just wonderful! So happy that you shared it with us – have a happy and fun July 4th holiday!
I love it Pam…your posts always make me smile! Have a happy 4th of July!

Wow Trixie looks fabulous all decked out in her 4th of July finery.
Heavenly days! Adorable!
That is so cute!
That looks so good! LOVE the wall you dolled up the basket 🙂
Wow.. this is just adorable beyond belief..
Tricked out Trixie is stylin! I think I’d chain her to something solid to deter anybody from taking her for a joy ride. Unless, of course, somebody is you. Keep your knees out to avoid bruising them on the handlebars. 🙂
Happy 4th!
Oh, Pam! This little tricycle is the cutest thing, EVER!!! Please link it wit us, it’s adorable!
Happy 4th of July!
Hugs,
Patti
