HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!!
Welcome Bloggers to another fabulous Tablescape Thursday! Be sure to visit our gracious hostess Susan and all of the inspiring tablescapes at BNOTP
My family has always celebrated Independence day the traditional way: Gatherings of friends, family, food, and of course fireworks, this year will be no exception!
We are grilling out and I plan to do a "re post" of sorts after the 4th to share all the pictures of the actual event
I pulled together some of the things we'll be using for our celebration and took some pictures (not too many :)
For me, Red, White & Blue together epitomizes AMERICA!
That's all you need to bring together a terrific tablescape...I tied "flag" ribbon around a candle...pretty and simple
I chose blue dessert plates and the Claremont dishes. Red-handled flatware and beautiful goblets...
Red apples in a milk glass bowl....one of my favorite pieces
My very dear MIL recently gave me this canister, and I was really happy to incorporate it, with IBC root beer in it! Love it!!
Little polka dot and plaid bowls help bring in the red
Ahhhh...Summertime!
Herringbone placemats, typically for Christmas....
I'm loving taking pictures outside in the natural light, I don't want to DO another tablescape inside!! Eventually I will though!
All-American Sunflowers in milk glass.................
Ok, guys I didn't go too photo crazy this week! Looking forward to all of your tables!Thanks again Susan for hosting a great party!
Hope you have a great 4th of July weekend!
Spend it with you family and friends, that is what really matters!
God Bless America!Pray for our nation, we really need it!!!

I love your "All American" table. It is just perfect with the red,white and blue and the canister with the root beer makes it perfect. Have a safe, happy and blessed 4th. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteI love your mixture of all the different pieces----that chic "I just threw this together look":) The flag ribbon and apples in milk glass are both wonderful ideas!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure why, but I love sunflowers with red, white and blue! Beautiful patriotic tablescape.

Looks like you've pulled together lots of good things to work with. I was glad to see the sunflowers with the red, white and blue stuff. I've been thinking along those same lines, and they do really look good.
ReplyDeleteWow, Michelle, this is a beautiful patriotic table! I love the dishes and the matalasse on the table! (I often use my matalasse coverlets as tablecloths.)
ReplyDeleteIBC root beer is yummy!
