my other favorite holiday 4th of July

I'm so glad the 4th of July is coming


I love Red white and blue together not azure blue, not sky blue not pastel blue but BOLD dark blue.

They are striking colors  but together they just fit so right. Sometimes we need to thank our founding Fathers for coming up with these

bold bright colors.no other blue would do


Deep reds deep blues and the crispness of the white to offset  the others


can you imagine what it would be like if they had come up with colors like orange and gray? YUK


I love the 4th of July not because it's summer, in fact I hate summer but it is a great Holiday to celebrate for anyone who is walking on American soil. We are the mightiest nation in the world.


The dollar store has great 4th of July decor .They even had little sparkle lights in red,white and blue , I should have grabbed more


My hutch is all decked out too.


I love the little star accessories that I found at Pier one on sale

Everybody gets their own cupcake on their own mini stands how cute is that?


All lit up like sparklers aglow



Even the cloche got in on the decorating


I used extra red and blue lights to adorn with only you can't see them.


I used three cake plates here one in red  one in white and of course blue



The flag plates I grabbed at GW for only $2.00 for all 4 of them


Add some beads in a glass cloche and call it a day



Even this cake plate got a new look with some new ribbon


some mini lites to sparkle all around and blue and white pearl strands





And a wreath for the wall to complete it all. I hope you enjoy my whimsy of the 4th of July or Memorial Day Or Labor Day Or Flag day or what ever day you want to decorate  with RED, WHITE, AN BLUE.I'm so glad they picked the right colors. I know I couldn't get this excited about doing multiple holidays in Orange and Gray.

  1. I love all of your red, white, and blue-ness (yes I know blue-ness is not a real word, but I like it). Where did you get the cute little mini cupcake stands? They are just the sweetest little things for a wonderful patriotic and whimsical table. Have a wonderful day..... Candy

  4. Your are certainly ready for the 4th of July with both your hutch and table decorated! The best part is the flag plates from GW for $2. The napkins really are the perfect accent for your patriotic theme! Have a great week!

  6. Susie,
    You and I are of kindred spirit.........as I celebrate my birthday on June 14, Flag day, my house is already decorated by the first of June and stays till August. I also have the flag plates, I have several sets with four different varieties of flags on the plates. You will see I am sure in the next month or so. My mom always gives me something red white and blue each year. My patriotic decoration probably equal my Christmas decorations. Going back to look to see what I missed. Are you small cupcake stands a recent purchase?

  11. Susie, I love the patriotic decor, I bought the same flag plates at GW. Here in our area the going price is for cents each for salad plates. You gotta love Goodwill. I shop at three different Goodwill Stores near my home. Once and a while when we are visiting the kids we stop at the Goodwill and the VOA near their house.
