I bought these 1976 amber glass plates a few years ago at a thrift store for really cheap and then just had them sitting in a box. Once I moved to this house, I decided to put them up. The plate holder is just an inexpensive one from the dollar store. I think they're pretty cool, I love the patriotic symbols. They're in the hallway to my garage, so no-one but me really sees them, but at least they're out of storage for a while until something else strikes my fancy.

Your plates are great. I used to have a patriotic themed bedroom. We have since moved, but I still enjoy those kind of items. Your stand for something sign is very cute also...and significant!
Don't you just love hanging plates? Yours look beautiful...Kathy
Congrats on voting! I voted for the first time in 1980. ; )
Your plates are pretty. Philadelphians love patriotic stuff. We have an Independence Hall and Betsy Ross plate here.
Your patriotic plates are great, I remember 1976, as yesterday, It was my 12 year of school, they made us take pictures in red white and blue. None of the drapes.
Your plates look very nice in the
plate holder! Great bargains too!
Awesome vintage plates.
What a wonderful collection.
Have a great week end.

I love the plates. The color reminds me of 1976! I will be voting on election day. I can't figure out everyone voting...it seems like they are just voting whenever they want to...
I love the colour of those plates - very seventies. In fact I think our garage door was painted this colour in the 70's!!!
Awesome!!!! And you even have a patriotic decor for your blog template!! That's cool.
My Show n Tell is shared. Come by if you can. And I added a comment link right below the end of my show n tell today, since it's such a huge blog for Halloween. Gifts galore for all! If you stop by!!!
I love your plates and the little picture/stitched piece underneath. It compliments the arrangement perfectly.
Congratulations on voting! Your plates are lovely!

I like those plates but especially the sampler picture underneath of them! It's great to get stuff out of storage and enjoy it finally!

I'll be voting Tuesday, hubby and I are going to make it a lunch date:), love your plates, really love them with the 'stand for something' sampler!
I've never seen anything like those. They're cool! yes, I'll be voting but not until Tuesday :0)
Have a great day and thanks for sharing!
I love this display! I think using a plate rack and changing the plates around to reflect the seasons or holidays would be neat.These could be for Independance Day.
Congrats on voting for the first time. I am missing that early voting they have in Tennessee where I was last election day.

they are VERY cool. I don't see glass items in that color very often.

What a great collection! I love anything patriotic. Your blog looks awesome!
Those are very nice amber glass plates. It seems that a lot of series of collectibles were produced for the U.S. Bicentennial. I enjoy having such patriotic items in the home.
