A little like Lelly, I thought I probably didn't have too much Americana in my home because I don't think of my decorating style (or lack thereof) as "country". I was pleasantly surprised to find a few pockets here and there.


A small part of the display above my kitchen cabinets
Includes (from l. to r.)
a pony express spitoon,
a pony express Jim Beam bottle
(we have a relative who was instrumental
in the establishment of the pony express),
a reproduction bottle,
an egg basket,
and a Coca Cola sign (if that isn't Americana, what is?)!


Also, although not uniquely "American",
the spinning wheel I use feels like Americana to me...

... and my antique spinning wheel (circa 1890).

Thanks Lelly for a chance to look around the house with a different perspective!
