I am just about as patriotic as they come. No joke.
I am the tearing up at the National Anthem, celebrate our Independence, American pride to the max type of girl. It helps that my dad has served in law enforcement and my husband is active duty military – and is in, in fact, set to deploy in a month.
When the men and women serving to protect your freedom are so near and dear, you can’t help but bleed red, white and blue.
I have been meaning to trick out our house with some classy patriotic symbolism (American flag on the front porch, star and stripes on display, etc.) and so I was VERY thrilled to receive this American Bald Eagle Pure Copper Weathervane Sculpture by Good Directions for my fireplace mantel.
At first I thought I would pull it out for the Fourth of July only, but once I had pulled it out of the box and set it proudly on the mantel, now I think it’s a good year-round addition to our home!

Oh, I love the copper/gold look! Looks great. My brother was in the army so I could see him loving this too.
Yeah, it’s not overly patriotic, but the sentiment is there!! <3
Look really beautiful 🙂
Thanks! I am quite smitten with it myself!
Good Directions sounds like a great place for home decor – very much into the copper look at the moment!
Yeah, they also have a blue copper that looks REALLY snazzy… I am fond of both looks! <3
I LOVE how you are patriotic Gingi and that eagle mantelpiece looks amazing in your home!!! Beautiful shots, you are so talented!!!! And “sigh” no mantel in our home. So sad! I would love to decorate a mantel =(
I am always changing up the decor on the mantel, haha.. I can’t make up my mind!!!
Looks great on a sofa table or shelf too!
This is SUCH a cool piece- it really makes the mantle pop!

Thanks! You too! <3
It looks great, works so well with the room! We have pictures, fake plants, and LED lights on our mantel currently.
Hehe, one of the plants on my mantel is real, and one is fake. 😉
That’s a pretty neat eagle. I think it’ll even better when it starts to get some patina.
Yeah, same!
That is some serious art work. We don’t have a fireplace but if we did I would have my husband’s antique train on the mantel.
Ohhh, I am a fan of trains! Is it a miniature model??
That looks amazing well display on your mantel.
Thanks Jackie! <3
That is such a cool sculpture!!

I love the copper, but the fact that it’s supposed to last is the real appeal! It’s so hard to find quality that lasts nowadays!
