We have displayed all our collection of bears and antique red white and blue collection for this special holiday coming up. The small umbrella was a great find this Saturday at one of our favorite shops called Down Home Antiques in Orange Co.
These drums were a Christmas gift I bought for Ray a couple of years ago.
You can see this child's book with Uncle Sam on the cover which looks great with the other items in our collection.
This is the second vignette we had set up in another part of the house.
The bear was also a find this Saturday in Orange. He used to be a little pull toy and he is on wooden wheels.
This is a fun antique postcard with his guy dressed as Uncle Sam playing a banjo. It is from about 1905-1910.
This is Uncle Sam riding a bicycle which I found here in town at another favorite shop. The little fir cracker used to hold candy for children's as a party favour.
This antique cabinet photo above is fun it shows children dressed up for a 4Th of July pageant as Uncle Sam and Columbus and the statue of liberty.
We also placed some vintage parade flags and some scarfs to decorate the mantle.
This cigar is a cool little find with the colors of the flag also.
I am glad you all stopped by for a visit and enjoyed your stay. Have a great 4TH Of July and enjoy..........Julian & RayToday I will be linking up to

ReplyDeleteJust love these bears - the one with the glasses looks like he'd like to carry on a conversation - love the vintage cards - they had quite the sense of humor and created great images - the flag umbrella - and all the draping flags - bring together a very charming, patriotic vignette! Thank you for sharing this with A Return To Loveliness,

You are ready for the 4th of July in style! Everything looks so patriotic and adorable, have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful 4th of July vignettes... The bears and accessories are just fantastic!
ReplyDeleteLove your puppies in your title banner. I was doing some canine portraits and told my sister that I would not do a Scotty, because I was sick of doing black fur. I had to laugh when a friend of ours showed us their three babies. Two were jet black and one was white. I guess the joke was on me!! Blame it on a sheltered childhood, I guess.LOL ;)
Your garden pictures are absolutely heavenly. You are certainly blessed with amazing talents! I am so happy to get to enjoy your blog! :)

ReplyDeleteHi there! I just saw that you commented on Christie's latest post and it reminded me that I meant to comment on an old post of yours about a tree you had that wasn't doing well. My Dad has some knowledge in that area and I asked him what he did so save a tree he had. I have the information written down somewhere so I'll have to get back to you with it but I at least wanted to let you know about it in the meantime. When I saw your comment I went "Oh, no! I never contacted them...ooops!"
ReplyDeleteTalk to you soon.
Blessings,
Missy
