So Proudly She Waves...


 Time for the hot dogs, hamburgers, potato salad, baked beans, lemonade, apple pie and fireworks!! 

 Welcome 

My garden planters create a framed entryway to the dining area

Flags are waving

I've turned the chairs so you can see-
let's move in...

Star Spangled 

The five part star banner parades through the middle.  I've placed my clay pots, uncle Sam and an adirondack styled chair for the center arrangement which can be removed easily to make way for the food.

Uncle Sam proudly waves his flag
The Star Spangled clay pots I created and posted about "here"

The little glasses can serve a before dinner drink

There are some white petunias in this  planter but they not blooming today!
I forgot to get the other cushions out!  It's been raining here so much lately we've had to put them in the garage.

I like how these look like fireworks are shooting out!

I couldn't resist the classic look of these red and white gingham print placemats.
I chose a basic red tablecloth to showcase all the elements on the table.

 Sparkly napkin rings with a flag clutching the napkins

Let's gather and enjoy the day and take a moment to remember the brave who've fought
 for our Country's freedom...

   Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming
Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave

I hope you have a great 4th of July however you spend it!
Our daughter will be home and her boyfriend will join us too so we won't be alone-yay!

  2. Wonderful!! I love a red, white, and blue patriotic table for the Fourth. The pots and the Uncle Sam nutcracker are perfect for this table. The placemats, the star runner, and the napkins just make me want to start singing the National Anthem. Everything looks great, I hope you have a marvelous Forth of July!

  4. Oh my goodness, that is such a beautiful Fourth of July deck! And I love that kind of railing, by the way. We're going to be putting a railing on our new porch this summer and I want posts like yours. Love that look!

  10. Hi Liz, This is a great table!! It's so festive and patriotic! I love those napkin rings; they're so unique, and the gingham placemats are terrific (I love gingham in the summertime). :) Your banner looks perfect as a centerpiece on top of the red tablecloth. I love your plates and flatware, and your other accessories are so cute. The patriotic pots you made look just right on the table. :)

    Visiting from Tablescape Thursday -- hope you have a Happy Fourth!

    Hugs,

  16. Hi, Liz! You guys have such a generously proportioned deck. I'm so glad that's where we're eating today!

    Love the way you did those napkins! The napkin ring looks very much like a sparkler! Really fun! The napkins themselves are great, too. They look like they could sop up a lot of chin mustard! :-) (Am I the only one that happens to?)

    The "bombs bursting in air" pots you made really look right at home on your table. Score!

    Now let's talk about that runner, little missy! WOW!!! WOW!!! I love it! The buttons are so slick! What a cool way to anchor your centerpiece!!! And your choice of placemats...right on! Red & white gingham is quintessential picnic/summer party, and they look great. You did a wonderful job of playing with different patterns!

    Hooray for the red, white & blue, and hooray for y-o-u! Great table to celebrate the 4th! I'm glad you guys will have a little company for the day, too. It's always nice to have family around...for a little while, anyway! Have fun!
