Happy Tuesday sweet friends. We had a lovely weekend with friends from out-of-town coming for a visit. It was a joy to see them after a two and half year absence. Saturday evening RM and I joined our family along with 1600 parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles. etc. for EM’s first ballet recital. She was beautiful and did a great job. I would have never dreamed so many people would attend a recital. Sunday was her kindergarten graduation and we are so proud of her and all the awards she received!

With Memorial Day fast approaching, I rounded-up some red, white, and blue tablescapes. Click the highlighted links to view the original post!
Red White & Blue For Memorial Day
Memorial Day is the unofficial start of summer. Red, white, and blue are some of my favorite tablescapes!
“Freedom is one of the deepest and noblest aspirations of the human spirit.”
~Ronald Reagan
Hydrangeas are normally in bloom for Memorial Day and they make a beautiful centerpiece!
Small flags make a wonderful takeaway gift for guests!
Celebrating The Red, White, & Blue
My picnic table next to the woodlands is a shady spot for serving sweet treats like cupcakes…
…and tropical punch!
The quilt was made by my beloved Mother. I would never use it for food, but just as an opportunity to photograph and share with my readers!
A red watering can is perfect for a flower arrangement!
The nautical table square is vintage. Patriotic and nautical works well together!
There is a lot of pattern play on this table, maybe that is why it is a favorite!
I hope you feel inspired to set a patriotic-themed table. We haven’t made our plans for Memorial Day, but I am certain the grill will be fired up and there will be homemade ice cream! Thank you for your visit and gracious comments.
Wishing you a delightful week!

Lovely day! Lovely flowers. Lovely friends❣️⚘️
Thanks so much!
Beautiful Pam! My heart beats red, white and blue so I love your round up and especially your mom’s quilt! Our hydrangeas are a little behind previous years but happy to have a couple that didn’t have their buds zapped from our late frost. Glad you were able to spend time with friends and attend EM’s recital. Happy Tuesday. ♥
Thank you, Mary. It was a busy weekend, but enjoyable. Happy Tuesday ♥️

It is mind stirring, the many combinations you dream up to grace your holiday table… Your Mom’s meticulously wrought
quilt is exquisite and my favorite table setting of all…thank you for sharing her with us. What a thrill EM’s recital
and graduation must have provided for all kindred…Those awards point to future fulfillment.. How appropriate the
Reagan inspired quotation is for this weekend…may we never forget the wonders of our great Nation and what it
has meant to the rest of the world. God bless America ~
Thank you, Mary. My heart is heavy as I am sure you feel the same.
My daughter in law, asked me to make her something patriotic for her table. Thank you so much for the inspiration. Love all of them, I love the napkins tied with the red, white and blue ribbon, since I have the same ribbon, I will tie up her napkins.
Nonie, I am so happy you found inspiration your daughter in law. Happy Memorial Day!
Such a lovely table and I love your mother’s quilt! I also love the blue bicycle.
Thank you, Michelle!
The table, of course, is gorgeous –but boy! Those blue hydrangeas are just perfect. They really set it all off to the max! It sounds like such a terrific weekend with good friends and a dance recital! Can’t believe she’s old enough for ballet! That time has flown by.
Thank you, Jeanie. I often think where did the time go.
Such a lovely table all ready for a festive celebration. It is hard to believe Memorial Day is upon us- goodness time does fly. Pam your mother’s quilt is beautiful – I am in awe of all those tiny pieces she stitched together with love. Her hands were certainly not idle.
Wishing you and your lovely family a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!
Thank you, Sandra! You are correct, her hands were never idle. Enjoy the Memorial Day weekend!
Congratulations to EM. How exciting. I love all the red, white and blue. My late motherinlove was a huge fan of any patriotic day and she always decorated for it. I can’t believe that Memorial Day is almost here. Time seems to have surely gotten away from me lately. Lovely table setting dear Pam. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
Thanks so much, Cindy. Wishing you a safe and lovely holiday weekend!
Beautiful red white and blue table scapes. Wishing you a beautiful memorial day. xoxo Kris
Thanks so much, Kris. Wishing you a lovely Memorial Day Weekend!
Loved seeing your gorgeous red, white and blue creations in your beautiful gardens!!! Hooray for the Red, White and Blue!
Thank you, Shirley!
Beautiful red white an blue tables. Hope your Memorial Day is filled with happy memories and a lovely day with family. 1600 to see EM’s recital is just about right! Would have loved being there. This Memorial Day is sad as my husbands brother passed and and he is traveling to go to the funeral. I’m having back and neck surgery on 6/1 and not able to travel. GOD BLESS THE USA🇱🇷
Alice, I am so sorry about the passing of your husband’s brother. We send our sincere condolences. Dear Alice, I was unaware of your upcoming surgery. That sounds serious. Will you have an extended hospital stay and rehab. You will be in our prayers for a successful surgery and recovery. Please keep us posted. Sending love and hugs ♥️
Thank you for your much needed and helpful prayers. I won’t need rehab because my best friend from NC is coming to be with me for 10 days. I am so blessed with the care I’ll get from her, my church and my neighbors. God is good!!!!!!!!!
Your patriotic table settings are gorgeous! Thanks for all the inspiration.
Thank you, Allyson!
A wonderful collection of your beautiful tables Pam. I’m inspired – yet again – to see what I can do with blue and red this summer. 🙂 Thanks for all the fabulous ideas and I hope you have a great long weekend!
Thanks so much, Barbara.

Thank you for sharing the quilt with us. That is a beautiful piece, and I’m sure you treasure it. I know I would, too. I love the way you made the flowers look like fireworks exploding out of the hydrangeas!!! That’s SLICK!!!!!!!! PERFECT for the 4th of July!
