Hi everyone! It is a beautiful and sunny Sunday afternoon, and I'm loving it! Especially after a really rainy week. Some friends stopped by for a casual get-together, and I had a lot of fun setting up this tablescape with a patriotic flair:
The red-white-and-blue quilted pillow on the bistro style chair adds a lovely accent to the entire theme:
I used my favorite quilt as a table topper:
I love summer entertaining out on the deck or patio:
Lemonade served in glass jars is a summer staple:
Made with freshly squeezed lemons:
And lemons stored in a small wooden box:
Or under a glass cloche:
Fruit kebabs on wooden skewers:
Marshmallows and brownie squares added to strawberries and blueberries make scrumptious dessert. The patriotic food labels were found HERE:
I used similar labels as a lemonade tag as well:
Crackers and striped blue pirouline in fun metal baskets make yummy treats:
I found these fun metal baskets for 99 cents each at Walmart:
Red, white, and blue make striking and colorful accents in any decorating theme, don't you think?
I lined the baskets with paper doilies:
and filled the brown kraft paper packages with potato chips:
They make nifty potato chips bag:
The wire basket holds the chips packages, and also is a wonderful way to carry and pass them around to guests:
I love mason jars! They serve a multitude of purposes. Here, I'm using them as a flatware holder:
I lined each mason jar with blue or red bandannas, which serve as napkins as well:
Also, the guests can use the mason jars for their lemonade:
Hollowed out multicolored peppers make beautiful bowls for dipping sauces:
I filled them with chives and onion dip for the crackers:
I had fun with my patriotic tablescape, and I hope you enjoyed it as well! Thanks for stopping by and for your lovely comments. I love reading all of
~Hugs,Poppy~
