I love, love, love to decorate the outside of my home. To me, when you have tasteful accents to your home and garden, it says, 'Friends are welcome here.' I decorate with lot's of different things- from flowers to garden accents. One thing that I started collecting after I got my first real job was flags. I love decorative house and garden flags. I have flags for just about every holiday, and also have a nice collection of seasonal flags. I keep all of my flags neatly organized, and cleaned, so when it's time to put a new flag up, they're ready to go.

One of the first things I noticed when we looked at our house before we moved in, was that it has a flag pole bracket. I took it as a sign that we were meant to live in the house we now call home. I love that I can see my flag, gently blowing in the wind as soon as we turn the corner onto our street. It brightens up the entire block and my neighbors love the cheery look it brings to our side of the neighborhood.

Flags can be expensive... especially the applique flags, which just so happen to be my favorite! It's not always easy to find flags, either. There's only one shop in the downtown area of my city that has a good selection of flags, and they hurt my wallet. So, what's a flag lover to do? Well, jump online to Garden-flags.com, the best online flag store there is! There are eighteen categories of Garden Flags and House Flags! What a selection! Need a flag for a particular holiday? No problem!

How about a flag for a special occasion? There are lot's of cute flags to choose from for family events, birthdays, new babies, weddings, showers, graduation, back to school, etc! I am so impressed by all of these great flags!

If you're a sports and hobbies kind of person, there are ton's of flags just for you! If it's not your thing, they also make great gifts for guys... or gals! :) Check out their wonderful selection of sports themed flags, professional team flags and hobbies flags!

Flags are also a great way to decorate inside! You can easily buy a banner hanger, and hang these on a wall. They'd look adorable in a nursery, and really cool in a man cave. We decorate with these types of flags in our contemporary worship space at church! Use them for baby and wedding showers, hang them up for birthdays, etc! The possibilities are endless when you have a great flag!

Garden-flags.com not only has wonderful flags, they have flag accessories like stands, poles, organizers, brackets and more. There are also other great outdoor decorative items on their website like: kites, magnet works, mail box covers, boat flags, monograms, windsocks and specialty items! There's even a SALE category... and I don't know about you, but I just can't pass up a sale on flags! This is truly the best online store I have come across for my flag and flag accessories needs.
