Decorative House Banners - Corny or Cool ?


Do you have an opinion on those ubiquitous house banners that people proudly display on their homes, that can run the gamut from patriotic to purely decorative? When I moved into my home and discovered I had the contraption necessary to display a flag, I automatically thought of all the lame and silly flags I've seen in the past. I pretty much figured I would never display anything but an American Flag. But then, as I walked around my neighborhood, I noticed some really cute and colorful banner flags out there. Not all of them had teddy-bears and 'Welcome' pineapples (not that I'm opposed to either of those :) After going through the seasons and seeing some adorable seasonal and holiday banners, I started to become inspired but it wasn't until my sister spotted a very beachy flag while she was walking Zeus that I became totally obsessed. So, I caved and got the flag above and I have to tell you...it makes me smile just to think of it :)

  2. Phew! Thanks KJ for the vote of confidence. Since you and Laura have given me the thumbs up then I feel ok about it.

    And now you have really created a monster because I secretly wanted a Snoopy one forever!
