Three Cheers for the Red, White and Blue!


The founding fathers would surely endorse this patriotic tablescape.
The large white dinner plates which I have used rather than chargers are the Shannon china pattern by Montgomery Ward.
The red water goblets were purchased from Herberger's at an after-Christmas sale as were the red bowls.





The blue and white pieces are Historic Liberty Blue china.  More information about this china pattern follows.



The centerpiece consists of daisies and America flags in cobalt blue vases.
