Good afternoon, Sweet friends! It is a beautiful glorious day!
A perfect day for a patriotic start!
I have my fabric coffee/ tea dyed and a fabulous chart called "America Sampler " from The Calico Confectionery. This was a darling gift from my sweet friend, PJ. Thank you so much, PJ.🤗 You know I love anything patriotic. 😘
We recently saw these Air Force planes on display in a park. I had to take a photo of them for my daughter. May I tell you that I am so proud of her service?
Have I told you that I have a plate addiction? ! Sssh! Don't tell anyone? Hee! Hee! 😄 I found 3 new patriotic plates on my recent thrifting venture.
The first is a vintage Capitol plate .
I paid up for this little decorative plate. A whole dollar. LOL. But it has good memories already attached to it which I may tell some other time.
For 50 cents a piece, I could not leave behind 2 vintage blue patriotic transferware saucers.
The first blue plate is Liberty Bell.
It is a Bicentennial plate from Avon.
The 2nd was Independence Hall.
Another Avon plate. Hmmm , I wonder how many bicentennial plates were made? I will have to research that.
But I do believe all of these plates will make lovely additions to my patriotic decor this summer. Now don't you tell Mr. Pinker that I slipped in a few more plates that I will show later. Hee! Hee!

What great finds! Looks like the Avon plates were part of the bicentennial celebration. Great keepsakes as well as Summertime decoration! I've been working on a Christmas cross-stitch project lately too. Hope we finish our projects by December! Hahaha!
