Tablescape #48 - 4TH of July Country Style



Hello everyone.  This week is going to be a busy one for me. 
 I have some fun 4TH of July posts and a little visit to Oahu.
I love to entertain on our patio.  Our family loves the comfortable swing and, the candles glowing in the evening while we visit about the GOOD OLD DAYS!
We live in rural America and 
I want to
share with you a country 4TH of July 
tablescape.


The inspiration for this tablescape came from the four dessert plates
 I bought at Tuesday Morning a few months ago. Open-air dining is a rite of the season, combining the casualness of a picnic with the convenience of a close-at-hand kitchen.


The old red, white, and blue can take many forms on a tabletop steeped in nostalgia.
The Shasta Daisy is the perfect flower for Summer.  I uses this red enamel coffee pot in our RV
 and when we sold it, I started using it as a vase. 



The patriotic theme is so fitting with these four plates.  
As Americans we love our freedom. 


Peace in the world is the goal desired.


The definition of Glory~is a state of great splendor, magnificence or prosperity.



We are so proud of our liberty we have in America

'Old Glory'


Conversation Hearts


"The Founding Fathers made an appropriate choice when they selected the bald eagle as the emblem of the nation.  The fierce beauty and proud independence of this great bird aptly symbolizes the strength and freedom of America."


Summer afternoon-
summer afternoon...
the two most beautiful 
words in the
English language.
-Henry James



Come and enjoy a glass of lemonade

If the outside temperature reaches triple digits it's time to come into the house.

  9. Hi, Betty! It HAS reached triple digits here in the Kansas City, MO area, and I just can't fathom getting out there to do anymore outdoor tablescapes until this heat wave breaks. It's just horrible! Your patio dining area is wonderful, and you did a fantastic job with your table!!! The plates are really cool!!! A perfect reminder of what this midsummer holiday is all about. I love the white speckled red pitcher/coffee pot!!!!!!! It's the perfect accent for this table!!! Here's wishing you and yours a good weekend and a safe & happy 4th of July!
