Let's celebrate the 4th of July on a Tablescape

Ready for a 4th of July celebration with a table full of red gingham, stars and stripes, Uncle Sam, and an elephant and a donkey.  We are a 2 party household so we cover all bases!  I bought the indigo tablecloth from Crate and Barrel several years ago on sale.  I love their tablecloths, they are usually heavy and well made.  This one almost looks like denim material with a slight weave to it. The runner came from a gift shop, now closed.  I bought the handmade donkey and elephant pot holders on eBay several years ago I think. They make me laugh.

The multi-color place mat came from Pier 1 several years ago.  I have had the red gingham plates for a few years, I have a smaller one too.  They are made by At Home with Marieke, I love the gingham!  The star plate is from Sur La Table a few years ago, I got it on sale in a set.  I watch for their sales because they have cute holiday designs sometimes. Napkins are either HomeGoods or Pier 1, I can't remember. I can't remember where I got the napkin rings but they were an antique white and I painted them because I wanted a true white. The flatware is Cambridge Barcelona, I have this pattern in a medium blue as well. I really like the frosted color and simple design. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying flatware here.

Using my Waterford Marquis red goblets on this tablescape. I think I use these more than any other goblets I have.  I got them at HomeGoods a few years ago.  I sometimes buy tablescaping items in sets of 12 because there are 11 of us with the grandkids and I was really lucky one day because I saw them and they had exactly 12. I grabbed them quick!  I later found the same pattern in an ice tea and I bought those as well. The other goblet is Red Spiral, I bought them at Pier 1 several years ago. The small bowl is from Pier1 as well from a few years back. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying goblets for your tablescaping collection including the colors that I use most often here.

There is something about red, white, and blue that is just timeless and the contrast in colors is always striking.
