Happy July 4th!

Hi Friends,

I'd planned on doing a tablescape this week, but it wasn't a red white or blue theme. I've not done a 4th of July tablescape this year, so we are going to revisit last year's that I did. It turned out nicely and I was proud of it.

May you enjoy your holiday with friends and family!

Hugs,
LaDonna


Trust that you are having a enjoyable 4th of July with friends and family. I hadn't planned on doing a 4th of July tablescape, but....I went in a thrift store on Friday and came across some really pretty blue dishes and thought...well why not?

So, I spent a couple of hours putting one together on Friday evening. These dishes are a setting for four which is perfect and the set is complete without chips or cracks and in very good condition. I really don't decorate with blue so I'm excited to have blue as well in the mix and the price was right too!

A couple of mentions highlighted in this tablescape... My father-in-law who passed away recently served as career army is featured and my husband's grandmother known as "Granny" made red, white & blue potholders and a dishcloth that is part of this tablescape. Granny made these in her latter years. I will always treasure them even though I'd never met her as she passed away before I came into the picture.



GW purchase of blue and white plates.

4 piece place setting of the blue and white.



Pretty blue teapot a gift.



Granny's crochet potholder and dishrags passed on to me.
Papa served career army.




Hope you enjoyed my patrotic table!

I am joining Marty at A Stroll Thru Life for Tabletop Tuesday this week and Sandi at
Rose Chintz Cottage for Tea Time Tuesday.


Hugs,
