Vintage postcards , ephemera, and other patriotic antiques remind us how important our nation is, how much pride we take in our land and the people who have sacrificed for our freedom.
I've set aside a few things for a new category in my store just for this reason. Below are some of the items I'm featuring plus a few ideas on how to use them.

Jillian,
You have so inspired me with your red, white and blue ideas! For our bible study luncheon we are decorating our table with a patriotic theme. I love the picture from "Country Living!"
