Tablescape Thursday & Foodie Friday...Happy 4th of July!



Welcome to Tablescape Thursday, hosted by Susan at Between Naps on the Porch.

~~~

Please also visit our hostess, Michael at Designs By Gollum, for Foodie Friday.

A little tin luminary...


Blueberries, strawberries and whipped cream...


Once again I've used child-sized flipflops as napkin rings. Don't the napkins kind of look like firecrackers?


A closeup of the red, white and blue tablecloth...



An easy red, white and blue dessert: store-bought angelfood cake with whipped cream, blueberries and strawberries...





My cake server still has 2009 confetti in it from my son's graduation a couple of weeks ago. Since the school colors are red and blue, I figured why not leave them in there?

  27. I came back by to mention that I am hosting a Christmas in July Tablescape Party at my Playing Dishes blog. There will be one held each Saturday this month. Please come and participate or at least visit. A holiday tablecloth will be given away on the last Saturday, July 25. Info on signups is available by clicking my sidebar memes available on both my blogs.

    I am also having a weekly Christmas giveaway at my Christmas Memories in My Heart blog. Weekly entries are closed out a midnight on Wednesday for this.

    Hopefully some of you tablescape regulars will pull together a tablescape for CIJ or pull out some photos from last year to post.

    Happy CIJ!
