Showing a little Patriotism
I'm not one of those creative people who puts up decorations for every holiday. I usually just change a few things seasonally, and then for Christmas. Last week, my friend Betsy from My Five Men showed something she did for the 4th, and I decided I needed to put out a few things too.
Here's what I did.
This old milk can is from my Dad's farm. It's in our garage by the door. I put different decorations in it, depending on the season. I found this cute metal flag that says "Land that I Love" at Hobby Lobby, and it sits perfectly in the milk can.
I found this free printable of the Pledge of Allegiance online and printed it off.
This is another spot I change depending on the season. I had the little flags and put them in a small jar. The God bless America is another free printable. I painted a piece of wood black and attached the printable to it.
It's not a lot, but it I do like these little splashes of Americana!

I love the patriotic touches in your décor. We have a new Hobby Lobby and I love their seasonal décor. Hope you have a nice week, Mari.
ReplyDeleteI'm in the States at the moment so it feels even more appropriate to see all the Memoribila around in the stores at the moment for the 4th of July. I really like your old feel stuff. It's a really nice idea to add a few touches around the house to celebrate the different holidays. Great idea!
ReplyDeleteWell, you do more than I do, Mari, with the exception of a couple of small flags. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the milk can too; my mom had one from her old home place and wouldn't you know she gave it to one of her nephew's daughters? I still can't believe it. LOL

Your simple sweet touches of patriotism are perfect for this wondeful time of year. Everything looks lovely, dear Mari.
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed week! Hugs!
Fabulous!!! I like the simplicity of them all Mari. And the milk can...flag, is just so perfect.
ReplyDeleteAwesome. I love the milk can, have a beautiful day friend.
ReplyDeleteI have just a few things for July/ summer. I am going to go and look at Betsy's blog to see what she did. I am picking up a new cross stitch piece tomorrow so it will be displayed for the 4th.
ReplyDeleteNice, Mari!
ReplyDeleteHave a safe and happy Fourth!
Very cute- looks great!
ReplyDelete'Back in the day', I decorated for every event under the sun. Sad to say, now I dont. I enjoyed seeing yours and pray every day that "God blesses America" again, and soon.
ReplyDeleteYou are so clever! I adore Americana and I'm nuts about Hobby Lobby. All of your decorations are so cute. xoxo
ReplyDeleteI love what you have done!! It is always good to see our Red White & Blue come out for special holidays!
ReplyDeleteThat looks just great!
ReplyDeletePerfect patriotic touches Mari! Love the last vignette (& that bowl of old keys too- so cute). ;) Wishing you a wonderful week ahead! xoxo
ReplyDeleteYou did real good! I like all of your decorating. Now I am thinking that I should put something out for the 4th of July. I will have to look around. I think all I have are paper plates!
ReplyDeleteI love your vignettes. They are simply beautiful! I'm just not able to do it this year. Still got boxes to unload. Maybe the holiday will allow.
ReplyDeleteI love it all! The printables are a great idea and I love that little clipboard holding the pledge! Nice little touches...perfect!
ReplyDeleteThe printables turned out so cute!
