Mums the word.  My front entrance greets guests with this all-American floral display.  
I spotted this Boy Scout backpack while shopping with fellow contributor, Kathy.   
The backpack, when shaped, resembles a plain old paper sack.  Love that!  
I found this old railroad lock and chain at Oronoco as well.  The vendor was quite kind with pricing. 
My mum sits upon this rusty metal stand purchased at a thrift store for a buck and a half. 
Boy Scouts of America...filled with tradition.

This Boy Scout backpack is one of the first things I purchased in Oronoco that was put to work.

Be sure it's easily accessible for our next trip though! (Gotta have somewhere to stash all your junk!)

Thanks for sharing!
