The official start of summer! If you are a warm weather person, it doesn’t get any better. Because we live in a community with a large military presence, this day to remember the sacrifice of those who perished to insure our freedoms is even more evident. Ours was a quiet one this year. Lots of yard work and time together.
I have always been a big fan of primary colors. And red, white and blue is about as good as it gets.
Recently found these fun red salad plates on the sale rack at Kmart. Think they were calling my name.
Love these blue wine glasses from Old Time Pottery!
Stars and Stripes coastal style! Decided that some beach stars would be a perfect accent for my Memorial Day table. Hope y’all had a beautiful weekend.
Till next time….Santé

Your table is so pretty!! I love coastal/patriotic themes too. May I ask where you found those darling striped placemats? They're awesome.
ReplyDeleteI see, Kohl's. Super cute!
DeleteHi Susan, glad you liked it. I just picked up the striped mats from Kohl's a few weeks ago so they should still be available. Thanks for visiting!
DeletePerfect. Love your placemats, they are gorgeous and I love the red/white/blue assortment of dishes. The star fish are super fun too. Thanks tons for joining TTT. Hugs, marty
ReplyDeleteThanks Marty! I do love red, white and blue. Really enjoy your party. Keep up the great work.
DeleteHi Shirley, thank you for showing your beautiful table at my party this week. That was a colorful, tasteful tribute to Memorial Day. Everything was so appropriate for the holiday. The napkin rings caught my attention and the placemats also. I hope you will come to next week's party and keep the Grill, BBQ and Picnic Party in mind on June 17-23. Have a fun weekend!!------ Shannon

Thanks Kathleen! Did hook up with Let's Dish! Great party. Thanks for hosting. Hope to see you again soon back on the Bayou! Shirley
DeleteI think your patriotic table is perfect tribute for Memorial Day. I'm a fan of red, white, and blue and celebrate it from Memorial Day on through the summer. Love your idea of the star fish for the stars. I'm going to take that idea and use it on one of my summer tables. Thanks! ~ Sarah
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting the Bayou Sarah! I love red, white and blue also and use it all year long here in Florida. Check out "On Blue Bayou" this week. Just used the white and blue. It feels so like summer! Hope to see you again back on the Bayou. Shirley
DeleteGreat patriotic table. I can't wait to start on my table for July 4th.
