States Of Modern: Mississippi
Ahh… Mississippi… Home of gracious Southern Hospitality, lovely Magnolia Trees and… Celebrated in the oldest spelling song in the nation. I can not type the name Mississippi without singing the letters in my mind!
So for our block, I used the Magnolia Tree on a field of three bars, Blue, White and Red, arranged like the bars of the Mississippi Flag. Very Pretty!
