Sailing into the Fourth!

When the Fourth of July holiday falls

in the middle of the week that's

a cause for a two weekend

celebration right!

 

We are celebrating here at

Beeutiful by Design

by Sailing into the Fourth with

this sailboat themed patriotic table.

 

I used my everyday blue and white plates along with

new galvanized chargers and

vintage blue tumblers.

I mixed blue and red flatware

and these Sailboat paper napkins

to complete the table.



These blue and white

mini porcelain urns are battery operated

to give a little glow to the table.

 

Sailboat salt and pepper on a

red and white checked runner

keep with the patriotic sailing theme.

 

Finally I filled this galvanized bucket with anchor detail

with white hydrangeas from the yard

and small flags!

 

Hope you are able to spend some time

this holiday with family and friends

to celebrate the blessings of our free nation!

GazeboSummer Luncheon

 

This teal china cabinet in my booth space

was the inspiration for combining blue and white

with milkglass & coral lusterware

to set a summery table.

When I located these beautiful gazebo/pagoda inspired napkins

I knew they would go wonderfully with my

vintage combination of dishes

for a summery luncheon.

 

I had such fun putting this table together at the store!

I used blue and white ironstone plates

layered with white pom pom napkins

coral lusterware salad plates

the wonderful paper napkins & placecards

and a vintage set of blue stemware.

 

As the centerpiece I used a

blue and white soup tureen in lieu of flowers.

What I love about this table is the ability

to mix and match with your

level of effort & what you have on hand.

 

 The place cards also make great buffet markers,

book marks and scripture cards.

 

 

If you wanted to just use paper you could easily substitute

the large square dinner plates shown in the display above.

 

 

If you wanted to use all linen and glassware

you could eliminate the paper items.

No budget or time for flowers -just use a similar piece to your
plates in the center.

 

Thanks for visiting!
I hope you make some time to gather friends or family

for a summer luncheon this season!
