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.

Red White and Blue Patriotic Touches Around my Backyard

Hi Friends,

Today I'm adding patriotic blooms to the planting pots around my back yard. Thank you for stopping by!

The daises are in bloom against the chippy fence that separate the yard from the garden. I have had the patriotic banners on the fence for many years

I bring out these thrifted metal planters from my Mom many years ago and put them on the deck for summer. Today, I stuffed in the bottom of the planter with some burlap and patriotic colored florals I purchased from Dollar Tree this year.

This year I hung up two hanging basket added some florals and greenery on either side of my patio.

In my garden I have wooden box with rabbit wire to display my collection of metal trinkets I pick up. I added florals to the wooden box.

Do you see the rusty pulley or the rusted bulb shovel?

My God Bless you and your family,

Red, White, and Blue Vignette

Hi Friends,

The month of July is coming up and I have pulled out my patriotic tubs out to start decorating. Today I'm showing off a cute little cabinet that my dad made, I have moved some of my salt and pepper pieces to live in this cabinet.

On this book case I have some vintage items I have gathered from around my house and a few recent thrift haul pieces to make a few patriotic vignettes.

In this vignette I've added the thrifted cookie cutters into a enamel bowl that I had stashed away on a cupboard in the laundry room. Some pip berries and a little wooden flag I painted a few years ago.

Inside the cabinet are a few of my vintage salt and pepper pieces. I have a several sets of tiny people chef, from Japan

On top of the cute little cabinet I put together a wooden rooster, along with a recently thrifted flour sifter with a red handle and a red handle cheese slicer and a white hen salt shaker.
