Patriotic Home Decor and Decorating with Old Glass

Patriotic home decor is almost in season. You can take everyday items and some patriotic accessories. Decorating with old glass jars and insulators for some patriotic decor. My husband is very sentimental and keeps everything I don't sneak into the trash. These blue glass jars were my hubby's grandmothers and I was going to donate them and even had them in the boxes when I noticed they were back in the garage. Hmmm. Then one day I noticed they were in the house and this is what he did with them.

Memorial day to the 4th of July calls for patriotic decorating. You can find patriotic runners for your displays HERE.


He paired them with some of his glass insulators.


Maybe I could put TV snacks in them. Pretzels and peanuts, M&Ms. Wouldn't even have to walk to kitchen that way.

He has accessorized with the flag banner we can never find a place for. I think I like it here for now.

Update: The blue glass canisters are still with us and holding pantry staples on a shelf in the kitchen.

  10. I'm so glad he saved them from being donated. I too love items passed from one generation to the next. It's just a bonus that they look so great!

  18. I'd say your husband should get to keep those beautiful blue glass jars, especially since her did such a nice vignette with them. Wow!

  19. Wow. A husband that can create vignettes? Please, oh please, don't tell me he can cook, too. That would just totally make me have to go back to bed to process!

    I think it's neat that he has those. Quit trying to throw them away!

    They would be a perfct hiding place for M&M's.

    Thanks for the cute link to Alphabet Soup!

    A+

    And A++++++++ for your husband and his vignette.

  21. I love that he went to the effort to make a vignette with his grandmother's blue glass. He did a great job. Some of the really old blue glass can be quite valuable. I don't know anything about your pieces. I have one old blue glass bottle that belonged to my grandmother that appraised at $150.00 quite a few years ago. You might want to check it out. Thank you for sharing your hubby's talents with us. Cherry Kay
