Happy 4th of July

Happy 4th of July to all ladybug and turtle lovers! I thought I had seen every single ladybug thing known until last night. A friend went to a firework store in Tennessee and purchased ladybug fireworks! Using all precautions we lit the fuse and it was amazing. The little ladybug firework starting shooting red sparks and within a few seconds starting spinning and then took off just like a real ladybug! If you are in a state that sells and allows fireworks you have got to purchase the ladybug fireworks which are very inexpensive. Here is a link to ladybug fireworks if you would like to give them a try after the 4th. Have a great weekend!

If you are in the area be sure to stop by today for our LadyBug Shop Sidewalk Sale.
