Red, White & Blue Summer Table

Carol Home, Tablescapes

 

For summer, I like colorful, casual tables.  From Memorial Day to the second week of July, I am partial to red, white, and blue. I started with my cotton blue and white tablecloth with fine red lines.

 

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

My patriotic table for 2017 has red dollar store bandannas for place mats, white china, red-handled utensils, and mason jars for drinks.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I folded the blue checked napkins in half into a triangle.  I folded the two points on the sides in and flipped the napkins over with the remaining point facing down on the plates.  I put the cutlery on the napkin and wrapped them with a jute string. I tied a bow in the string.  This would work well if you have a buffet too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The centerpiece is a red pitcher with white flowers and a small flag on a white plate flanked by two patriotic teddy bears.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On top of the corner cabinet is a third little bear.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The three bears were a present from a friend a couple of years ago.

    1. The Union Jack is red, white and blue (or do you say it in different order) and I agree we should shared. We’re like cousins.
