You may have seen these adorable Uncle Sam figures before, but not on my blog! I am the very lucky beneficiary of Sarah’s (Hyacinths for the Soul) editing of her patriotic decor!! Yea! Just look at these darling Uncle Sam wooden figures that came in the mail today from Sarah! (No, it’s not my birthday – Sarah’s just that way!) If you don’t currently visit Sarah, you need to go over and visit this sweet lady. She posts such creative photoscapes (I don’t know if that’s a word or not. If we can have tablescapes, I guess we can have photoscapes).
Thank you so much Sarah. I love your edited treasures!
I had ordered some pretties from the Etsy shop of Linda at A La Carte, and they also arrived in today’s mail! These breakables were wrapped so well and arrived in perfect condition, with a couple of bags of delicious tea Linda sent. Thank you Linda! If you haven’t shopped in Linda’s Etsy, Antiqgirl, you need to go check out all of her pretties.
My sweet sister-in-law, Brenda, showed up at my house today with a surprise for me (no, it’s not my birthday-Brenda’s just that way)! She had found these darling metal children’s plates at a yard sale and knew I’d love them, so she got them for me! Am I just the luckiest person ever?
Since I love to get packages in the mail during the summer (okay, I love getting packages any time of the year), I'm linking to Summer Sundays at The Tablescaper.
Thank you so much for visiting my blog. Please visit the other participants in Favorite Things Saturday. laurie

Looks like Christmas in June at your house. :D I use to have a cople of wooden, carved santas in that style, but gave them away several years ago. Thanks for hosting again this week.

I adore your plates!!! I know you will put the Uncle Sams to work soon and that they will love their new home in "the closet"! Have a good weekend. I have had my five yr old niece for five days (until yesterday) and have been MIA from the land of Blog. I am still recuperating :)

Your Uncle Sam figures are all so cute! It reminded me of one I had years ago but lost in one of our moves. It was made from a fence post.
What a sweet sister n law to surprise you with the plates.
I saw that pinecone pitcher at Linda's etsy and almost bought it!! Can't wait to see it in some of your future tablescapes! :-)

Those Uncle Sam's are beautiful, and I love your etsy finds. Those metal plates are gorgeous. You are a lucky girl, and a loved one too.

Laurie -- I love all your treasures! What great Uncle Sams and those children's plates are just adorable! Can't wait to see your tablescape with all this fun loot -- and my, it's not even your birthday -- but then we all think you're pretty special EVERY day!
I was looking for an E on those cute and way adorable plates. Then I could have said Ovey! How wonderful!!
Laurie,
I love all your gifts. If you decided to bequeath something to your ole legal secretary friend I promise I would take special care of those precious children’s metal plates and even bequeath them back to your children. I just got a smile on my face looking at the plates.

Oh how fun! LOVE those vintage plates! What a fab find!
I was admiring those patiotic figures at Sarah's site and now I am admiring them here. I love them! How exciting to be at your house today, it's like Christmas, so many lovely items! We just got home from Mexico today....Christine
Hi Laurie! What a fun link up!! Now why didn't I know about this link ages ago?!?! Where have I been? I'll be visiting here often, I'm sure! I just added my wedding collections to your link up.
I adore red/white/blue decor and Uncle Sam's are among my favs. I have several of them on display in our r/w/b gameroom year round. Maybe I can pic a few of them next week, once I recoup from the WEDDING PARTY! :0)
Big Hugs,
