Independence Day on the Back Porch

 

We're going to spend a little time outside this weekend, just Wonderful Hubby and me.  After some HOT and HUMID days, our forecast for this weekend sounds much milder.  Precious Daughter and Favorite Son are spending the holiday out of town with their friends.

 

 

 

 This table was put together from a little bit of here and there.  Resale shops, Home Goods and Wal-Mart. 

 

 The red, white and blue striped glasses were my mother's and the deep blue vase was from my mother-in-law.

 

 

I'm hoping Wonderful Hubby will grill some pork steaks this weekend!  Of all the things he grills, they are my favorite!!   

 

 

 

Happy 4th of July!

 

 

What will you be doing this weekend?

Stars and Stripes and Checks, Too

I've set a July 4th Celebration table in the kitchen today. 

 

 

I had a lot of fun collecting these dishes.  The melamine plates were on sale at Kroger, the bowls were from Target.  I found the glasses and napkins at Dollar General this spring.  The Corelle dishes and flatware were from Wal-Mart.   

 





The galvanized candle holders were from a local mercantile store and I've used them several different ways this summer.  I also plan to switch out the blue ribbon and use them this next Christmas.



 

The runner was from Kohls' (after the holiday last year) and I've had the plastic 'lace' tablecloth for years.

 

 

 

 

Sometimes you can get a lot of BANG for just a little Buck!!   :)

 

 

We are planning a quiet 4th of July celebration this year.  Both kids will be out of town celebrating with their friends. 

 

Hope you have a fun and safe weekend!!
