~~~OH Say Can You See!!!~~~

 Hello my friends! I am wishing you all a happy 4th and want to THANK all of our veterans and soldiers currently serving for preserving all the wonderful freedoms we enjoy. Since we don't have a deck yet:( I decided to revisit my table (one of several) from last year to help celebrate and show off our patriotism!!! I am so blessed to live in this country.  This table is FULL of patriotic love! The centerpiece is a vase of BLUE hydrangeas from my yard. I have been going over tyhere and cutting them, there are 10 bushes of them at the old house!!!! The white lanterns are very versatile. I placed a red votive in them for the 4th.

 The glasses are plastic but perfect for outdoor dining. Love the stars on the stems! A red COSMO looks beautiful in them:):)

 Some have blue stars and some have red.

 The table cloth is layered over a plain blue one since it SHRUNK in the wash:( I did buy a new one this year though so will have it next year!

 On the table cloth I have a round red placemat, my white chargers, a red dinner plate, a blue salad plate and a checked dessert plate topped by a STARS AND STRIPES plate!!!!A Stars and stripes teatowel serves as our napkin since usually there is some type of barbequed meat on the menu!!

 I forget now where I found these adorable buckets. They are filled with some flag mints and some red fluff along with a flag.

 The blue goblets are from the Dollar Tree, I think! Do you see the flag S and P?

 I love to use my blue and white flatware for any patriotic setting too.

I hope you all have a great day and maybe get to see some fireworks! I love fireworks and hope we can see some tomorrow night too. Be safe. XO, Pinky

~~~Time To Celebrate Our Freedom!!!~~~

HI and welcome!!!!!! I set this table last night while the light was fading then this morning took some more pictures. So, this post is picture LADEN! Hope you don't get bored:):) I cut some of my gorgeous hydrangeas for the centerpiece and placed a flag in there too. We used to have Monarda growing all over the place but it all died out, and that makes me sad, because it looks like red FIREWORKS!!!!!!!!!! It is a perfect flower for a 4th centerpiece. I also got these little buckets at Christmas Tree Shops and filled them with goodies!The table cloth is round but has no hole so we had to take the umbrella down for this table!

 Over the tablecloth I placed a red straw palcemat, a white charger, red dinner plate, blue solid salad plate, red star salad plate (paper) and the star appetizer plate. I love to STACK dishes. I learned this from Yvonne at Stonegable and I think it makes a table so much more interesting!!!!

 The "napkins" are dishtowels from Dollar Tree!

 This is new flatware this year from Marshalls (Home Goods). I just love it, all swirly and happy!

 The blue water goblets can hold iced tea or water....or beer!!!!!

 I found these cute flag S and P at TJMaxx several years ago.

 I scattered some candies around the table too.

 It was VERY humid last night so the vase is SWEATING....so was I!!!!!

 Even though this plate is paper, I think it is so cute and wanted to use it too!

 The star martini glasses will hold strawberries and blueberries over ice cream!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 I have 2 red stars and 2 blue stars. Forget where I got them, several years ago too.

 Here starts the pictures I took this morning. It is VERY sunny today, and HOT again but I am NOT complaining:):) I washed the tablecloth and it shrunk some so I put the solid blue cloth under it today. I had brought everything in last night because we were supposed to get some showers overnight. So, yes, I did this table TWICE for you all.

 I added this lantern too. I have 2 of them but only used one so as not to crowd the table too much.

 A red votive inside.

 Birds eye view.

I wish you could ALL join us for our 4th celebration. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and are able to celebrate our freedom with family and friends.
