4th of July Tablescape

Ok, so I did a little shopping in May and came across some great 4th of July things. I'm just saying I spent a little time at Pottery Barn. I got this bunting (20 flags and twine) for $12.00. I figured it was cheaper than making it myself. It is double sided, stiff paper.
I then bought four different types of fabric (about 1/2 yard each) and tied the fabric between the flags. I love how it turned out. Of course, I had to pair it with my fav, paper lanterns.

I'm not 100% happy with the pictures. My back garden gets the afternoon sun and it was full strength this afternoon.
I dug out my tablecloth and napkins from last year and paired with my same old, same old dishes. They have all been purchased throughout the years at Homegoods.


I got the centerpiece stars and the little tin stars at TPT (Tai Pan Trading). There are so many things you could do with those little tin stars.
I got these great plastic straws at Pottery Barn as well. They were 12 for $12.00. They are washable and reusable.
I thought I would show you these cute metal baskets and checked paper I picked up at PB too. The paper comes in a pack of 10 sheets and the wire baskets were only $3.50. I thought that was a steal, especially from PB!
I hope everyone has a great 4th of July. I am truly loving all the different tablescapes. Basically the same colors, but so different!

Please join our hostess Susan over at Between Naps On The Porch to see some more AMAZING tablescapes.

We live in the woods but recently had some trees taken out so our deck is getting alot more sun! It does make picture taking more difficult. Your table is so pretty and festive for the 4th! Hope you have a great weekend! XO, Pinky

What a lovely table, Janie! I'm so jealous of your pergola! My husband built one on our house when we lived in SoCal. Wish we had one here in NC.
You set a great table for the 4th!

Such a beautiful patriotic tablescape... I love your setting under the pergola and your pretty napkin folding! Those washable straws are amazing as well as those PB napkins with the basket holder...for #3.50 it's a steal indeed! I loved the beautiful pictures of Portugal in your previous post.. beautiful architecture... breath-taking tiled walls and quaint streets and houses...such vibrant colors... enjoyed my trip to medieval Obidos through your lenses. Thanks for sharing and for visiting me. Loved your gorgeous header picture..Happy 4th to you!~Poppy
