Summer Patriotic Vignette

After a long search to find a rustic toolbox, I finally found not just one, but 2!!!!

This toolbox was only $4.  The second toolbox was $1, which I will show at another post.

Once I brought it home I was stumped as how I would do with it.  After two weeks sitting in the garage, I finally knew how I would use it.

I gave it a good cleaning, and decided to display my Raggedy Ann and friends.

 I lined the toolbox with an American flag and a crochet doily I made; and to finish it off, I attached the glittered stars garland  from the Dollar Tree, and a blue star I've had for years.

So far I'm happy with my simple and easy display.

This is where I placed my toolbox!

I decorated the top of our bookshelf with the lantern I made a couple of years ago.  I added my treasured very rustic Raggedy Ann and Andy.

 The two cross stitched frames come from my favorite local thrift store at a great price each - $2.50!

I think they're just perfect for this 4th of July display!

Please excuse my flip flops and hat.  I keep them on the ready right next to the door that goes out into the back patio.  The paper garland is from the 99¢ Store, which I have been meaning to completely decorate (altered/embellish).

I just noticed that I don't have Andy!!!  I have no idea where Andy is, and also I just noticed that the one o  country rag doll's eye is missing🙄
This is just a tip as to how my life has been rolling lately!!!
