A Vintage Patriotic Vignette - Memorial Day-God Bless America!

Hi Friends,

This is a wonderful day to get together with Family and Friends to Celebration Men and Women that have given their lives to protect our Freedom in America.

Today I'm sharing a corner shelf with some of my favorite red, white, and blue treasure I gathered from around my house. 

Include the two wonderful flags my 7 year-old grand-daughter drew for us I totally love them.

Around my home I have gathered some of my favorite Red, White, and Blue treasure to share with you and hope to inspire you to get shopping your home for items you treasure.

In this vignette you can see I gather some cobalt blue bottles and jars that I placed in a Kraft cheese wooden box.

 I also remembered I had some poker chips in the right color, so I filled a red rim enamel cup (I had on top of the kitchen cabinets), with the porker chips.

  I gather one candle stick from my set of Towle Sterling silver plate candle sticks, I love the patina on this piece and placed it into the vignette.

In the corner of my dinning area, you may have notice a nut or cheese grinder, when I was researching this great find, it is from the 1940's or 1950's, it has a hand crank, it was made by Federal Tool Chicago glass, the top piece is a measuring cup, I was super to find this great piece at the thrift store.

I just find this pair of  Salt &Pepper on Spring Break visiting my Daughter in Illinois, to celebrate her son's 1st birthday. You can check out the fun treasures I found while visiting. I love this set, they are marked, made in Japan and I believe their milk glass.

I've arranged and rearranged this corner shelf many times today, trying to find what makes me smile.

 

I think I figured it out. What do think? I would love to hear from you.

May Day

It all started when I was in elementary school, making may baskets filled with flowers to give to my friends and neighbors.  Now that I’m quite a bit older, I send cards to my friends and neighbors. Did you send flowers or a card  to someone today?

Have a Great Day!

Memorial Day

 

Hi Friends,

Some of us will be going to Memorial Day services at the cemetery, some of us will be going camping, some us will be gathering with family for a picnic, some of us will going to parades to honor our fallen soldiers,   men and women that have helped to keep our Freedom in America.                                                  

What ever your doing today, please take a moment to remember our fallen soldiers that helped in making the United States of America a darn nice place to live.

Have a Great Day!  Colo Junkett
