When dear MIL and FIL joined our family for dinner on the evening of the 4th of July this year, the occasion called for a patriotic display.
My Fiesta dishes (in scarlet, cobalt, lapis, and periwinkle) were once again called into service.
I love this little red disk pitcher. It served as a flag holder in this setting.
Each place setting was topped with U.S.-themed wooden ornament (purchased shortly after 9-11-2001).
A flag-themed place mat anchored the centerpiece which consisted of various patriotic pieces.
As I am the lucky owner of 12 flag napkins, I was able to adorn the six chairs with a little Independence Day color.
Not wanting to be left out, the adjoining living room also took on a patriotic theme. I discovered that these barn stars could double as candle holders.
Let Freedom Ring!
Many of these items decorated my middle son's bedroom which had a red, white and blue color scheme. The bedroom has since been redecorated. I love giving things a new purpose.
Here's a shot of the table and adjoining living room. Don't know if you can tell, but the TV is showing that all-American past time of baseball - MN Twins vs. New York Yankees.
