Deck the porch with these festive creations from our local favorite, Cherished Vintage. July 4th is a time to reflect on our freedoms and remind ourselves how lucky we are to live in this great country. Despite our differences and our political divide, these past few months have proven that when times are tough we rally the troops and support each other. We are all in this together, even from afar. The colorful cheer of patriotism is inspiring no matter which way you lean, so let’s try to remember that we are stronger together - Kirkland Strong.
