The dream of owning your first car. No, this was not our first car (a Pinto of all things) but this toy car brought back memories of that time. Dealer 25 has it priced at only $40. These kinds of toys are usually much more expensive than that.

What is more American that these three? We stopped to shop this week in Splendid and came across this delightful folkart piece from Dealer 12. It doesn't have lots of age to it but we think it is America in a nutshell. This baseball player is $40

When the fireworks go off you can use this wonderful Ohio Art drum to join in with the fun. Dealer 25 has this treasure for $38

Know your United States. Have you ever played this card game? Test your knowledge and see how much you do know about your country. Priced at $22 by Dealer 25

Dealer 25 has this Uncle Sam clay pipe in her showcase. The 4th and Uncle Same they are a couple really. The pipe is priced at $12.50

In honor of the 4th, your Let's Shop shopper has been scouting out each of the malls this week for things that invoke the American Spirit. Or if the item happens to be in red, white & blue.

So here is our ode to America as we celebrate the 4th of July this coming Sunday (yes, Stars will be open on the 4th 12 Noon to 5pm)

Let's Shop America

Oh, to be a Boy Scout again. You can be with the BSA bandana. Dealer 88 has it priced at only $6

We love this cake carrier. All red, white & blue, it would be perfect to take your Grandma's chocolate cake to the family 4th of July picnic. Dealer 70 has it for $27.95. It takes the cake as far as we are concerned.
