A simple patriotic table for two.
Patriotic and picnic like
I selected flowers and branches for filler from my yard and garden to create my centerpiece.
Tulips, daffodils, and cherry tree blossoms
These gorgeous red tulips resemble roses in their depth of color and shape
The sun came out long enough for me to snap a few shots in between the rainy weather we're having right now.
This tall handled pitcher is made of tin and decorated with berries. I wanted to suggest a picnic atmosphere with fruit and vegetables.
I have two narrow glasses inside of the pitcher. One is upside down to support the 2nd one that is resting on it to hold the flowers. I didn't trust that the tin would hold the water and I needed to create a way to get the flowers up higher.
These Homer Laughlin diner style plates added to the patriotic picnic feeling I wanted. The checkered design is repeated in the napkins and a tablecloth underneath.
I criss crossed two square tablecloths since
they were the only thing I had that suited
my theme.
I corn on the cob dish added a splash of color and helps suggest a classic picnic food item!
I added a little sparkle to the napkins
I can carry this theme outdoors if the weather permits on
Memorial Day
Thank you for visiting and I hope you have a
great Memorial Day!
Remember to honor those who gave
their lives for our country.
Remember to honor those who gave
their lives for our country.
Let's also remember to say an extra prayer for
the people of Oklahoma that have suffered
such devastating losses this week after the
tornado swept through their area.
