Vintage Patriotic Party with the White, Red and Blue


Today you get "He Said"
and "She Said"
let's listen in...


She said, LOVE the 4th of July!!!
(she says this ALL the time)

cookouts, fireworks, swimming, family
trips to the lake...

and some great patriotic decor.




But HE said...

What? you do that all the time,
You're attending A Vintage Patriotic Party...?




That needs to include some real Civil War artifacts!

She said, OK, let's put together a vignette from the battlefield.
Decor, decor, decor!!!


Officer's camp stool with carpet seat.
old drum and sticks with a tambourine and songbook.


Vintage flag and Grand Army of the Republic banner.


and a cannonball that should not be dropped on your toes
while you're arranging said battlefield vignette.






Then she said, wow, that was great!
Now, how about some vintage
"girlie" patriotic goods!



July 1916 Ladies Home Journal Magazine



vintage raised patriotic postcard


A biscuit tin depicting the making of the Liberty Bell.
with vintage grave marker flags
in her favorite wicker flower basket.






Old Canco candy box with a lovely lass dressed in the "colors".




And, how about some more patriotic fun
in the sunroom?

An advertising calendar plate
from Alma, Michigan.
1919




And some vintage American flags.








They make a great couple
don't ya think?

Join in with Joan and all the party goers
to celebrate the
 Vintage 4th Party


And I'm sneaking in to
with Kathleen
Over at Faded Charm.
(just can't miss)




One more day!!!!
If you haven't entered the Give Away
there's still time.

Debra

  49. Oh. My. Gosh.
    You actually OWN those things! You get to hold them in your hans. When you think of the stories they could tell . . .
    The civil war! I can't even imagine. I know when I was in Savannah - we went thru Thurman House (I think that was it's name, where the guy murdered someone . . . you know the story). The house was very nice, lots of interesting pieces, but the 2nd room from the last held a wedding gift from George and Martha Washington! I was in awe! I could've stood there gazing at that all day. JUST THINK! They TOUCHED those pieces. Gives me goosebumps.
    Your pieces are just wonderful. (I hope you didn't drop the cannonball on your foot - I wonder what is in those things anyway?)
    Loved, loved, loved this post. Wonderful job.
    Have a wonderful 4th of July! Happy Independence Day!
    Hugs! Karen

  50. I love your items. Today I was showing Revolutionary War items, and I loved that you did the Civil War. As a history nut and a decorating diva, I love everything you showed.

  51. Your home is always decorated so nicely. You have the best decor. I know some magazines out there must be knocking at your door. It's always a pleasure to see what you've done. Now I'm feeling extremely guilty for not putting out my Americana decor. Better go & get busy! LOL Have a great celebration.
