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!

I Found Some Awesome Vintage Treasures! - Weekend Yard Sale

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! I went to a yardsale this weekend and just wanted to share what I found.

***

I actually found many items to expand a few of my vintage collections, but today I want to share a great find!

 

 'White Ceramic Hen Napkin Holder with egg shaped Salt and Pepper Shakers' ($3.00)

I'm not sure if this one is newer there is no markings and the shakers have plastic stoppers

You all know I pick-up 1940-1950's Hens/Roosters when I find them at a reasonable price.

***

I do have a vintage 1960's Hen Napkin Holder without the Egg Shakers.

It has a mark on the bottom...

It's a slight larger...

Similar feather details...

What do you think?

I have styled the Hens in the Kitchen above my cabinets.

***

I also found these plate holders in a box of miscellanous items. The gentleman threw the large plate holders in for free!, I'll be putting them in my stash for later use. This measured for a plate close to 12"

***

Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to stop by to see what treasures I have found out thrifting this week.

 I would love to hear what you have found thrifting and how you style it in your home. 

 So until my next post......

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.
