Does anyone know a good place to get them (either walk-in store or online). I'm looking for maybe a dusty blue plaid or something if I can't find anything Americana that isn't too cheesy looking... LoL
Thanks in advance,

how about this one (http://www.countrycurtains.com/shopping/product/detailmain.jsp?itemID=1964&itemType=PRODUCT&iMainCat=105&iSubCat=186&iProductID=1964) in delft blue?
or this one (http://www.countrycurtains.com/shopping/product/detailmain.jsp?itemID=1990&itemType=PRODUCT&iMainCat=105&iSubCat=244&iProductID=1990) in navy blue?
it might be hard to find a readymade valance in an Americana pattern. i'd opt for a more neutral themed fabric & just accessorize with your Americana stuff. anything plaid or ticking stripe or just denim/chambray should work. valances are about the easiest window treatment to make.
if you really want Americana printed fabric though, you'll be able to find lots of patterns in your local fabric store. then just whip one up yourself in about a half hour! all straight stitches - just hem the sides, bottom & top & fold down the top & sew in a rod pocket - voila!
