God Bless America - Happy 4th of July

LET'S CELEBRATE

the

4TH OF JULY!

Today's tablescape celebrates the birth of the 

United States of America with its Stars and Stripes,

and its red, white and blue.

A rustic wood representation of the flag, and

a flag inspired basket, create the theme for

this patriotic table, for July 4th.

It's also time to celebrate my glorious red roses

before they fade quickly, like the summer does.

They are just beautiful now, and will soon 

be gone with the heat.  The basket is made

to carry flatware and napkins, but I just

filled each space with wet floral foam placed

in a plastic bag to keep the flowers fresh,

and the basket dry.

The 4th of July Tablescape is set outside

on one of my ruffled round burlap tablecloths,

which have been enjoying the whole summer outside.

The plate stack features red, white and blue

with a star plate on top.

The rich, red flatware is tied in a bow with 

a burlap ribbon to go with the ruffled tablecloth.

I had several blue glasses to choose from,

but these striped ones seemed perfect with 

the Stars and Stripes theme of the table.

I just love the richness of the colors on this table, offset with

the rustic appeal of the burlap.

I stacked star shaped, glass candleholders for height, 

in red, white and blue.

Mix and match red, white and blue napkins were used.

I like the mixture of non-patriotic napkins along with

Stars and Stripes motif.  It creates another casual element.

Here is a view of the rose-filled basket from the top,

showing off the star studded handle.

We will be attending America's Freedom Festival in Provo, Utah

with our family on July 4th.  The Freedom Festival always

features wonderful performers followed by magnificent fireworks.

This year the headliner is Journey, with Montel Williams hosting.

It should be a wonderful celebration, especially the

fireworks - my favorite!!
