What a relief!
According to this list, 10 decor items that say you're Canadian, my Canadian citizenship has been verified!! We don't quite have all 10 of these decor items (after all, my husband is 100 % American) but we do own quite a few!
We are owners of the following items on the list:
#2 (some rustic wooden furniture) and #10 (a balsam scented candle)
#3. Not one, but two sets of snowshoes in our guest room...
An Adirondack-style of chair, #6 and a camping lantern, #9. (Also, a very cute dog - who let me know she wanted to go inside, because she was really hot!)
~~~*~~~
Many of these items are also owned by people of other nationalities and can be found easily in homes throughout Montana. However, we do have one other possession undisputably Canadian, of which I am very fond. That item is our Canadian flag!
Weather-permitting, it will by flying proudly from our deck today!

| Our flags usually fly at the front of our house, but it was so windy, that for this photo I had to prop it up in the back! |
Happy Canada Day!
What items in your home do you think reflect your nationality?
This post may be linked to one of the great link-up parties I follow and list on my blog. Check them out!
Ha, love the bird book one...that's my kids favourite thing when they go to their grandparents' place
ReplyDeleteI always loved looking through my Grandpa’s! Happy Canada Day!
DeleteHappy Canada Day! :)
ReplyDeleteTo you as well, Laurel!
DeleteHappy Canada Day! I haven't had the opportunity to travel to Canada yet, but hope one day soon to go through on our way to Alaska! I'll have to get your advice on what to see!
ReplyDeleteI haven’t driven all of the way up to Alaska Rena, but I have driven pretty far north in British Columbia, and it is beautiful!
DeleteYay, Canada! Yeah, I pretty much flunked the 10 décor items. Please don't cancel my citizenship! :)
ReplyDeleteI wouldn’t think of it! You are much to good a friend to have, Diane -- on either side of the border!
DeleteHappy Canada Day! I think the only thing I have is the lantern. Does a giant moose head count for anything?
ReplyDeleteA giant moose head might score you some points, I should think!
DeleteHappy Canada Day.
ReplyDeleteWe have several bird books.
What do we have that shows we are Australian? A small jar of vegemite hidden in the cupboard. I loathe it. My partner eats it sometime.
I think we claim to be citizens of the world - who happen to live in Oz.
Citizens of the world ... I really like that !
DeleteGot the flannel sheets (although we never use them) and a mini Canadian flag (somewhere) and a bird book...yes...a well thumbed, dirty, rattty bird book and a couple of pieces of rustic (read old beat up and second hand) furniture. Happy Canada Day.
ReplyDeleteProof - You are a good Canadian, Delores! I hope your Canada day was wonderful, and this weekend is going well for you as well!
Deletenow you've got me wondering about the 10 items you'd find in australian homes - I'll have to have a think about that! Certainly no snow shoes around here!
ReplyDeleteI would love to know what items you consider to be Australian ... I still have a stuffed koala bear an Aussie friend of my dad who worked for Quntas Airlines gave me, when I was small!
