Flags on a 4th of July Summer Tablescape

I used this same plate stack on a 4th of July tablescape that I did four years ago but I changed out most of the rest of the table. The tablecloth came from Crate and Barrel several years ago. It is a heavy material and well made. It is actually two shades of blue, the color will show better in some of the close up photos.

These melamine red, white, and blue flag plates came from Pier 1 several years ago. I love the simple bold design bright colors and scalloped edge.. I bought both the salad plates and the dinner plates.

The extra plate in this plate stack above the white charger plate is a red plate from Pottery Barn in their Cambria pattern. I bought them several years ago. I love this plate because it is large enough to be either a dinner plate or a charger. I have this pattern in a few other colors as well. This photo shows the plate a bit brighter red than it is actually.

This white charger is one of the first charger sets I bought when I started tablescaping. The pattern is called Antique Beaded and I bought them at Williams Sonoma several years ago. I use this charger constantly in my table settings. If you look back through my blog at my tablescapes, you will see it often. A simple white charger is a great first purchase if you want to create more interest on your table settings.

You can see the different colors in the tablecloth in this photo. I bought this frosted white flatware on sale online at Wayfair several years ago, it was made by Cambridge. It is 18/0 instead of 18/10 so the fork tines are a bit sharper than I would like but I really liked the frosted color. Wayfair has really good sales on flatware sometimes. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying flatware here.

I found the flag napkin rings on Poshmark last year. The red cotton napkins probably came from Pier 1 several years ago. To read about the what, where and how of napkin rings please click here.

I can’t remember where I bought the metal star place card holders. I have had them for years. The set came with three navy, three red, three turquoise, and three white stars in the set. I used the red and white stars on this tablescape. The place cards came from Amazon. To read about the what, where and how of place card holders, please click here.

I think these red glass goblets came from Crate and Barrel a couple of years ago. I had been looking for some simple red goblets and grabbed these when I saw them online. Now I wish I had ordered more of them before they sold out. I joined a website a couple years ago that sends me a list of all the Estate Sales in my area every weekend with photos of what is for sale. I am always looking for tablescaping items. Hubby bought this blue glass goblet with a clear stem at an estate sale last year, I wish they had had more for sale. I love this goblet. It is a perfect blue color and I predict I will be using it often. 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.

I bought this white wood flag stand online at Grandin Road a few years ago. I always get comments about it. I really love the design, with all the flags it definitely makes a statement!

I have a weakness for Johanna Parker holiday design dishes and when I saw this patriotic cream and sugar set on Ebay earlier this year, I had to have it. It is marked Carnival Cottage by Johanna Parker, Magenta. I set it on this tablescape beside the centerpiece.

I can’t remember where I bought these patriotic salt and pepper shakers. I have had them for several years. My family jokes because sometimes I put special salt and pepper shakers on the table and I forget to fill them! I am beginning to have quite a collection of different salt and pepper sets.

I love patriotic table settings. Ready for the 4th of July!
