26th Tablescape - Red, White & Blue....Happy 4th of July!!!!

26th Tablescape - Patriotic - 4th of July - what better colors then the great Red, White & Blue.

Started with a real flag as my table runner;  Red, white & blue flowers....

White candles in the hurricane lamps;

Found these fun desert plates - they are Debbie Mumm from Jo-anne Fabrics originally, I picked them up at "Last Chance Thirft Store" on 1/2 off day a few months back - paid $.84 for each. The white dinner plates are Homer Laughlin's purchased for $1 each; The napkins are red, white & blue checkered with a silver napkin ring and some flowers tucked in...
Red and white flowers in the wine glasses.....
This vase I found at Goodwill just the other day - the colors are perfect for the table and the saying written on it made it a "have to have".  The saying is "Love is Patient.....Love is Kind"..needless to say this vase will be out somewhere in the house all the time.
and of course the buffet.....

Thanks to Susan/BNOTP for hosting Tablescape Thursday.  Please leave some encouraging words and remember:  "Around the world, life is best around the table:"

    How darling. The flag in the center of the table -- brilliant. I agree, that vase is just precious. I really like the flowers in the napkin rings, too. What a great setting.
