'Americana Summer' Decorating - Using Vintage Treasures

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! 

Today, I'm so excited to share how I have decorated the top of my bookcase for 'Americana Summer' in my entryroom.

In this vignette I have brought in my vintage red lunch box a few vintage hens and a few other collections.

I have use a vintage USA Trivia Game box as a base, a few vintage 'Ball" canning, a embellished aluminum bell cookie cutter

I also included a Vintage-Inspired Patriotic Assemblage , I made last Summer, also a vintage George Washington reader.

adding another layer with a Vintage Bingo Card and another one of my vintage hens.

I really like using this vintage silver-plate mug to hold a handful of red posies

I framed a free print of a Eagle, I found on Pinterest

I'm using a vintage crock bowl to house a few boxes of Sparklers and a vintage 'Milk-Glass' vase with a couple of Fabric Posies.

An 'Old Reader's Digest' I found last summer, a few Diy Firecrackers in a berry basket.

This vignette is setting in a yellow Coca-Cola wooden crate. I also used my wooden children blocks to add a little color along with handmade sign to represent Freedom!

Sharing a Simple Americana Project for Summer!

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! 

Today, I'm so excited to share a super simple project to add a touch of Americana.

I've been collecting Vintage Aluminum Cookie Cutter for some time as you know. I saw a similar project on Social Media and decide to create the idea in my style

I choose to use the star and the bells Cookie Cutters from my collection

 I had a sheet of Patriotic Words I had printed and paper stained from my Patriotic Ephemera 

Assemblage project.

I've also have been thrifting quite a few bundles of Ric/Rac

I tied a couple of strand of Ric/Rac on the handle of the cutter and put a spot of glue to attach the label and a small plastic star from a patriotic bead neckless

to finish off the project

Let me know what you think about this cute simple project for a touch of Americana.
