Let Freedom Ring!


Let freedom ring!!!  Today I'm on the back porch with a patriotic table set for two.




I started by draping the table with a red tablecloth and topping it with a vintage blue and white tablecloth.


For the centerpiece, I used a galvanized bucket with rocks inserted with red candles and red, white and blue pinwheels.


For a little music, Hunter's vintage Motorola radio. 
The place setting consists of red square plates (JCP) with a Mikasa Ultrastone Blue salad plate. The napkins are actually dishtowels that I found this pass weekend for 50 cents each.  The navy blue flatware was a thrift find.  The Noritake Sweet Swirl goblets were a recent goodwill find.  They look a little "dewy" right now.  Does that make sense?  I had just stepped from inside the house to the back porch and going from the cool house to the 93 degree (and high humidity) caused them to fog up.

    I LOVE the Mikasa plates!!! They look kind of like slate or something like that. Very cool!!! I love the addition of the Motorola radio! Totally fits the scheme of things! The galvanized bucket is a great idea, too. It adds to the whole relaxed feeling of the table. Have a fantabulous weekend!!!!!!

    Love the fireplace mantel on your patio! That is a great idea and one I should probably copy. :) Thanks for commenting on my vintage camper post. I clicked over to your google plus page, but I am totally clueless about that. Guess I had better get with it! I'm following.
