Vintage-Inspired Summer Decorating - Americana - Coca Cola Collection

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! 

Today, I'm sharing how I have added Vintage-Inspired Summer  vibes to the top of my China Hutch

In the corner here I stuffed a few strands of Vintage Blue/Red Aluminum Foil Garland, I had thrifted a few years ago in the Gumball Machine. 

Behind the Gumball Machine is a Coca-Cola Tray I found at a Auction back in the late 70's.

the large Ball Canning Jar is a thrifted find from my trip to Illinois to see family last Spring Break.

***

In the thrifted Vintage Coca-Cola Crate I combined a few Coca-Cola Bottles with small American Flags,

 along with a Leather Baseball Mit & Baseball

my one and only Ironestone Pitcher.

I also included a Vintage Coca-Cola Stainglass logo 16oz tumbler, with a few of my Handmade Cloth Posies

***

I decided to change this area up a bit, by adding a Metal Tackle Box

Earlier this year I found two bags of Fishing Bobbins, thinking at the time they would look great in my Summer decorating. I believe I paid $5.00 in total.

I also added a few ffishing pole items to the Tackel Box

The Handmade Wooden Sign I did many years ago, just a scrap piece of wood I painted red and painted 'God Bless America'

I hope you enjoyed seeing how  I have brought a few Americana touches to my Coca-Cola Collection.
