For the past few months I have been eyeing a white linen ruffled tablecloth at a local shop at Thanksgiving Point.
I wanted it so badly, but was not willing to pay the high price. I know that linen fabric is pricey, but I just couldn’t do it.
Last Friday was my lucky day. A couple of my friends and I rode over there just for fun. Really not planning on buying anything. They were having a great sale and I snagged the only one they had left.
I couldn’t wait to play with it. I had an Americana topper on my table but I decided that I wanted to Romanticize the Red, White, & Blue. Off came the topper, on went the ruffled tablecloth.
I wrapped a bit of vintage lace around my large chippy white urn.
Pulled out a faux berry topped cake and filled my blue fiesta ware pitcher (a thrift find from my friend, Amanda) with white roses from the garden.
The edges of the roses have turned a bit brown. Not sure what has caused that, but I decided that it just gave them rustic charm.
I love houndstooth and the color red. How could I resist this ribbon found at the same place as the tablecloth?
I love the soft sheer sweetness!
What could be more romantic than a luscious blue Hydrangea planted in the chippy urn? Then I added a beautiful flag, the symbol of our country.
The cute little patriotic cupcake plates were a 50 cent find. Each one is a little different.
Just today my friend, Joyce gave me the cherry garland. I pulled away the chairs so you could get a better look. Wouldn’t want you to miss this lovely ruffled beauty. Hee-hee!
Happy red, white and blue!
hugs,
Jann

OMG! Those patriotic cupcake plates are too cute.
That table cloth is gorgeous. I'm so glad that you got it before they were gone :)
Have a wonderful day,
Your blogging sister, Connie :)
Oh my goodness I LOVE that new linen tablecloth, Jann- it's gorgeous.
You are going to have such fun with it!
Sorry I have been absent lately. Working, road trip and then working again. I love red white nd blue together. Great tablecloth for the patroitic display!
Love your new tablecloth and how you have set your table up ! My favorite blue hydrangeas :)
Very pretty! I love the cherry garland against the white linen :-)
May I give you two "Facebook" likes, that is to say, thumbs up? I love, love, love hydrangeas. Mine are just coming on but not nearly as deep blue as yours. They are stunning on the white tablecloth. It's a good thing you took the plunge and bought it. Can you imagine the time it would have taken to make it? You have to finish the 4 quilts :)
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT ALL. You lucked out.
I Love Red, White and Blue ! ... The colors are just so happy !
Your new table cover is just lovely and I agree the sheer, light weight appeal of it is just delightful ..
Happy 4th .
