“It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery”
Galatians 5:1
Hello sweet friends! It’s time to fire up the grill and get ready for some homemade ice cream! July 4th will be here in just a week! For the first time in ten years, I am not hosting this year. We will be making the drive over to Birmingham…my nephew and his wife will be having us at their beautiful home. But you know me, I can’t let any holiday slip by without a tablescape…join us for a Star Spangled Evening in the garden!
*
A table for four in the garden was quick and easy! Sunday was supposed to be sunny, but instead there were lots of dark clouds surrounding our patriotic table, but at least no rain!
Fun straw placemats with our everyday white plates. Notice no dish stack…I was serious about quick and easy for a very good reason!
*
I layered a vintage nautical table cloth, from my sweet friend Patti, over a round blue and white cloth.
*
My Renaissance Man wanted to make sure I let you all know he cut the hydrangeas and carefully arranged them, which he often does. All kidding aside, my sweet hubby can do anything from arranging flowers to hunting wildlife in the Rockies!
*
Our sweet granddaughter was very serious about waving the flag! Now you know why I needed a quick and easy tablescape.
I love using my very favorite stemware that I ordered from Horchow many years ago…unfortunately, it is no longer available.
*
Star napkin rings hold Kate Spade napkins!
“A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in a setting of silver”
Proverbs 25:11

I’d love to hear from you…how will you be celebrating the 4th?

Beautiful red white & blue setting! Your garden simply looks gorgeous! ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks so much, my friend! Happy Tuesday!
Beautiful from me also! Butch’s flower arrangement is a winner. Do I see a bottle in the middle? Your garden couldn’t be more lovely.
Thanks so much Alice. Yes that is a red bottle in the middle! I so appreciate your comments, Alice and your faithful following of the blog! Happy Tuesday!
Beautiful table in your beautiful garden! Happy summer days!
Happy summer days to you, Sandra!
Look at that sweet girl waving the flag . How stinking cute ? Sweet tablescape but I’m a sucker for anything red, white and blue . Hugs and blessings , Cindy
Thanks Cindy, have a joy-filled Tuesday!
I always enjoy seeing your vintage nautical table cloth. It looks wonderful over the blue and white round cloth! My table cloths are similar, and that post will be published tomorrow. I promise, I didn’t copy you. 😉 I set the table last week when we had company coming, and I miss it since I cleared everything away after they went home. Yikes, I need to set another table for visitors this week! It’s summer, so company visits come in back-to-back waves. I love your Kate Spade napkins, and the white star rings are so striking against the navy. I love seeing Ella Mae. She is so serious! Happy Tuesday!
It is so funny how we often think alike! I am enjoying our cooler temps and lower humidity! Have a beauty-filled Tuesday!
Your table looks beautiful with all those vibrant colors! And that granddaughter of yours – what a cutie! Have a great week!
Shelley
Thanks so much, Shelley! Have a wonderful Tuesday!
Ella Mae looks so much like you and Butch! She is adorable.
Your quick and easy table gets five stars! You are the master designer for any theme. The table is striking and your garden in the background is stunning.
We will be celebrating the fourth in Texas with our son’s family. There is never a dull moment. I’ve been so busy lately I feel like I’ve been in a whirlwind.
Have a great fourth! We are so blessed to live in America!
How fun, Bonnie to spend the 4th with your son and family in Texas! Safe travels and enjoy! I am working on reading all the garden posts!
Lovely table scape! The gardens surrounding your table is so beautiful. That Ella Mae is precious. Happy 4th
????????? happy 4th…love everything everything, including your gorgeous yard!
Thanks so much, Lynn. Wishing you a wonderful Independence Day!
It certainly is a grand ‘ole tablescape….and I too love those goblets!…and the granddaughter is so adorable!!! Enjoy your 4th together!
Thanks Shirley! Enjoy your day celebrating!
Tell Butch he did a fine job with the centerpiece, and Ella Mae takes her job most seriously, you can tell! Nice table. I will be hosting the 4th, but am feeling less than inspired to pull out all the stops. We’ll see….
I understand, sometimes we are just tired and it is hard to pull out all the stops! Take it easy and just enjoy!
Oh Pam, it’s so festive that I can practically hear a soundtrack! I love everything about it but especially the blue hydrangeas and your sweet flag bearer. Someone will be just delighted to enjoy festivities at your table!
Thanks so much, Jeanie! My flag bearer has my heart!❤️
Pam, Ella Mae is just precious! Your red, white, and blue table is just gorgeous! I’m sorry I’m late commenting. I’ve been a little under the weather this week, but I’m on the mend. I hope you and your family have a very Happy Fourth of July!
Shannon, I hope you feel better! Happy 4th to you and your family!
A perfect Star-Spangled table Pam! I love seeing the limelight hydrangeas and maiden grass waving in the background along with your sweet granddaughter waving the flag 🙂
Thanks Mary, we are enjoying lower humidity and temps right now. I know it won’t last long!
Simple and fun….that’s my kind of table! We have a busy few days surrounding the 4th so I’m not likely to do anything red, white and blue. I’ll have to enjoy others’ creativity. Your little sweetie just gets cuter.
Happy 4th and thanks Linda!
Your garden setting always takes my breath away Pam, it is gorgeous! Such a lovely red white and blue table, I’m crazy about those beaded mats and the star napkin ring with the navy KS napkin! Ella Mae is a living doll!
Jenna
Thanks so much, Jenna. I am a doting grandmother!
Siempre perfecta la mesa en el jardín. Me encanta ver lo que disfrutas haciendo estas maravillas combinando los colores patrios que resultan muy bien combinados.
Tu nieta Ella Mae está muy linda, es una niña deliciosa y está muy mayor ya.
Bendiciones a todos.
Dolores
Always perfect table in the garden. I love to see what you enjoy doing these wonders by combining the country colors that are very well combined.
Your granddaughter Ella Mae is very cute, is a delicious girl and is much older now.
Blessings to all.

Beautifully patriotic Pam! Butch did a great job of arranging. Not something my hubby has ever done. 🙂 We will be hosting a 4th of July breakfast outside this year. Hope you have a wonderful holiday! Thanks for sharing with SYC.

Jann
Thanks Jann! An alfresco breakfast sounds perfect!
What a gorgeous patriotic table!!! I am over the moon with your garden setting!! Love those two table clothes together, everything looks great. It was nice of your husband to get in on this, as well as your adorable granddaughter! Have a wonderful 4th!

Thanks so much Darlene, Happy 4th!
Red blue and white is always lovely! Have a great July 4th celebration !
Thanks so much, Donna!
Your table is lovely! LOVE the stemware and the anchor tablecloth the most. The 4th will be a down day for us as we will be going to Canada on Saturday and a concert and fireworks on the 3rd. Gotta take those days after off for some rest! Happy 4th!!
I hope your weekend was wonderful! Hopefully, you got rest!
What a beautifully set and festive table. 🙂
Thanks so much for visiting!
I enjoyed this table a lot. The borrowed tablecloth is a wonderful choice and I love the pretty stemware! Seeing your granddaughter is the icing on the cake- what a sweetie! Big kudos to your hubby for the center arrangement! I love that he would make the effort and he did it so well! Wishing you a very Happy 4th!
Thanks Liz! Wishing you a beautiful weekend!
