Patriotism - My Style

With Independance Day just around the corner, I wanted to review a little of my patriotic style from the past.

This red, white and blue tablescape featured a rustic centerpiece with a wooden star and a crate full of fresh red geraniums with a Peggy Karr Glass flag bowl.

The sideboard at the end of the table had a basket filled with more geraniums and lots of sparkles for the fourth of July.

Patriotism was also shown throughout the house with Pottery Barn pillows on a white couch. This look was such a favorite in blogland.

The pillows really pop on the couch.

A trayscape featured red, white and blue dinnerware and decor.

I hope you are making plans to celebrate July 4th and show your patriotic style - Judy.

It's getting close to July 4th and our minds are turning toward patriotism. I have been looking at my patriotic posts over the last few years and wanted to share a few of my best shots.

Stars and Stripes - Let Freedom Ring was from 2013 and featured these gorgeous Pottery Barn pillows and a trayscape.

Also in 2013, I posted a Patriotic Tablescape for the 4th. In addition to the tablescape, a centerpiece made with pieces from Dollar Tree was featured.

One of my all time favorites was this Independence Day post from 2012 in my dining room.

I hope you are getting your patriotism on and getting ready for the 4th - Judy.

Fourth of July - A Patriotic Tablescape

The most patriotic day in the USA, Independence Day is almost here and we are ready to celebrate the Fourth of July.

Many of us are decorating our homes, inside and outside, hanging our flags, planning our menus, and setting our tables with the red, white and blue.

My centerpiece represents the sparkle of the bombs bursting in air sung in our national anthem, "The Star Spangled Banner".

Holding true to American traditions, my table is set for this day of celebration. Bells will be ringing, firecrackers will be popping, candles will be burning.

Patriotic menus include hot dogs, hamburgers, corn on the cob, and apple pie. We will include barbecue and cold slaw in our menu.

Join me in celebrating the Fourth of July by enjoying time with your family and friends for a day of patriotism - Judy.

Patriotic Centerpiece - Dollar Tree Savings

My mind was spinning, "What could I make for

Debbie Doo's Dollar Tree Summer Linky Party." Speaking of spinning, before I could get to the store, it was pinwheels that came to mind.

Here's my finished design:

As quickly as I entered the store, there they were - pinwheels on display. Ok, I must be on the right track. Pinwheels it is, now what else could I use with them. Here's what I walked out of the store with: bunches of red and white flowers, sparkling bursts, pinwheels and some blue placemats for a tablescape.

Now for the assembly. I needed a container of some sort. Do you remember my hurricane centerpiece used in my "Think Spring Tablescape?"

Now remove the purple flowers and the fun begins.

Start adding the flowers. Some I cut apart and some I left as part of the bunch and just bent them.

I wasn't sure how I was going to add the sparkling bursts, I couldn't push them in between the votives because their base was too large. Should I cut them off and try to stick them in between the flowers, then I saw they were adhered to a thick wire so decided against that thought. Oh, how about removing some of the votives and exchanging them for the sparkling bursts. I did leave the glass hurricanes surrounding the votives for stability.

Wow, am I happy, I have a new centerpiece and only spent $12 plus tax. I could use it as a patriotic centerpiece for a Memorial Day tablescape or on a serving table. I could substitute flags for the pinwheels and use it again for the Fourth of July; the Dollar Tree has flags too.
