Tablescape Thursday~ Eclectic 4th of July

Happy 4th of July to all of you and God Bless America and our Troops.....I am joining Susan from Between Naps on the Porch for Tablescape Thursday. Be sure to check out all the other talented tablescapers because we all love playing with our dishes.
I have created an eclectic tablescape by using Dollar Store finds, Christmas floral picks, Memaw's fine crystal, wedding gifts, transferware, and Tiara. As you can see, I used a little bit of this and a little bit of that to create my 4th of July Celebration tablescape. Pour a glass of ice cold lemonade and stay awhile.....


Editor's note: A little bit of education on the way....who knew you could learn something from transferware!
























































Blue Crown Tiara and my wedding stemware








Christmas floral pick reminds me of a red-hot firecracker....don't ya think?






Gotta have some birdies








Silver and pearls.....what a combo






Even the red Tiara candlestick deserves a little bling!








Wedding gift





Bird's eye view of centerpiece






More fireworks.......

  7. Oh this is so pretty. I love all of your red, white and blue. YOur tablescape and all the accessories are just stunning. I love your transferware plates with the historical scenes on them. What a fabulous idea to display them on plate stands so everyone can see them properly. So pretty. Happy 4th. Hugs, Marty

  10. Thanks for visiting my blog. I am new enough to blogging that I am not sure how to answer questions so I decided to do it this way. I did not make my placemats and have had them for many years. A friend who admired them made some and hers are so much cuter. She used pockets from real jeans so they are worn and authentic. Hers are so much cuter. Enjoy your weekend and thanks again for visiting.
