The Fourth of July - Celebrating Independence
 Dust
off Uncle Sam and pull out the red white and blue and you have the makings
of a memorable 4th Whether you are planning a big celebration
or a quiet day with family it takes such a little bit to make the day
special.
For entertaining purposes nothing works better than red. You can
use red placemats, coasters and red crystal for Christmas, Valentines Day,
Memorial Day, the Fourth of July, or whenever you are in the mood.
Something as simple as a specialty beanie baby with a flag in his hand
helps to set the mood. Or use a specialty decorative plant stick in
a pot plant to add a splash of appropriate color.
For a picnic setting, cover paper towel tubes with red contact paper or
red fabric insert silver placed inside a napkin to make fire cracker style
holders for napkins and silver. These fire crackers can be placed in
a cute basket and set in a convenient location..
This
fourth I added a set of quilted pinwheel placemats to use on my
Independence Day table. which will be set with blue speckled enamel
plates, mugs, and bowls. A matching quilted runner adorns the
sideboard. |
