National Teachers Day



It's also Teacher Appreciation Week, so show those special teachers in your life you know what they really need:



It's also National Tourism Day (which seems to be a continuation of yesterday's Tourist Appreciation Day). Maybe you could visit Korea. You won't know which one until you get there.

Iris Day

A few months ago, rainbow_goddess posted a series of lovely ads featuring the word "iris." Here is one I borrowed, but please view the rest at the link under the image.

It's also World Red Cross Day/World Red Crescent Day and No Socks Day.


It's V-E Day and School Nurses Day, too. (Got ads?)

Not to mention National Receptionists Day so in honor of my favorite TV receptionist, I am posting the video below, but it's not technically a vintage ad (I don't think) so under the cut it goes. Presenting . . .

(Posting early--kinda tired.)
