Detail of Riders...the colors are so bright and happy!
The key was included and it works...turns like a charm!
Patriotic/Circus Front Door

Circus Wreath.
Antique Elephant Bread Board was a gift from my fun friend
Paula @ Pollyanna Reinvents
Burlap ribbon...and bows made from torn strips of fabric.
Mod Podge paper mache stars.
Kinda busy-looking...but I'm getting fond of it.
I made four circus poster plaques...
...and four clown plaques.
No scary clowns allowed!
Aren't these the tackiest flowers ever?
And don't you just love them?
I have a hard time finding red/white/blue flowers...these were from Walmart.
Happy Summer Decorating!
Some Circus Posters...Enjoy!

WOW....I have always loved tin toys! That Ferris wheel looks perfect! I wish I had the energy to do banners like around your front door....
Very sweet ferris wheel! I think my hubby would love it too!
LOVE your front door! Very FUN,inviting and colorful!

The Ferris Wheel is a definite find ... Perfect and such great colors. The elephant board turned out charmingly, I think that the burlap was the perfect accent to help tie it in with all the great colors!! You never, no never, cease to amaze me! :-)
Love your front door!!! The Ferris Wheel is the best...so different!!!
A few years ago I saw several tin toys like this at HomeGoods - and I didn't buy them! Can you believe that!!! I thought I had too much stuff already. What was I thinking!!! I love your door, all your decorations, and your tin toy!
The Circus World Museum is right outside of the Wisconsin Dells, I'm thinkin' you might need one more trip to the upper midwest to go there. The restored circus wagons are beyond description!!! Love the graphics and your FERRIS WHEEL, you find a Merry Go Round and I'm on the way to Utah!
WOW! Who wouldn't want to walk through that front door????? How fun!
And the Ferris Wheel is fabulous. I'm so happy that you found it.
Love the beetle on the ball poster the best!
Thanks for showing us Shirley,
Erica :)

What a happy, happy post! Those flowers are tacky but in the best way. And that Ferris wheel is just too darling. I can see that being addictive.
