The Target One Spot recently had patriotic items for Summer and the 4th of July – including some really fun paper straws.  Since I obviously have no self control in the Target dollar section, I bought two packages of paper straws and wooden “USA” decorative letters.  The plan: spend less than 10 minutes adding a little Summer flair to my front entry shelf.
