It was time to change up the shelves in the dining room; so I removed my Friendly Village dishes, and replaced them with some previously hidden-away brown transferware and antique apothecary jars.
From Memorial Day until July 4th, I like getting out some of our patriotic ephemera that we have accumulated over the years.
Here we have Betsy and her flag under glass!
Old postcards.
In this apothecary jar are three generations of draft registration cards from World War I, World War II, and the Viet Nam War.
I'm partying with Mary at Little Red House
for Mosaic Monday
and
Marty at A Stroll Thru Life
for Tabletop Tuesday.
Be sure to stop by their blogs to check out the list of participants this week.

Yes, those brown transferware dishes NEED to be displayed; they are stunning. Remember when I asked you what was transferware? LOL
I love the brown transferware. Your changes are beautiful, Sally!
Hi Sally,
Your Dakota glass apothecary jar is super! I have a similar one that I keep my shell collection in - keeps them visible but dust-free. Your brown transferware is great, too - I love all the different designs.
