4th of July Decor at the Amsden

We are so excited for our first 4th of July at the Amsden!  Every year Versailles has a big 4th of July parade on Main Street and all the festivities are going to take place right outside our doors.  This week I dug out my boxes of vintage flags + bunting to decorate the outside of the Amsden for the holiday.  Stop by to sip and shop with us before or after the parade!
