Happy Birthday, USA!

If you know me at all, you know that I love to celebrate everything!  Especially this year, I have really wanted to observe every occasion- big or small and the Fourth of July is always one of my favorites. It will be a smaller celebration this year, fewer people and no fireworks presented in our area, but that is no reason not to decorate and have a fabulous meal with my Quarantine Crew!  

This is our first year in our new home and I love to eat on the sun porch (see Father's Day/Summer Brunch here)!  

The inspiration for this tablescape comes from this Gazebo Luminary made with my Cricut from a Dreaming Tree cut.  I placed it on a small cake stand for some elevation. 

The roof comes off so you can put a candle in.  See how pretty the light is coming through the stars in the roof? This is going to be amazing when it gets dark! 

Once I made this gazebo I knew that I wanted to go with an old fashioned Fourth of July Celebration theme.  

These Adirondack inspired chairs were made with an Svgcuts and I thought they would fit right in.  They are actually box cards which fold up to place in an envelope.  (It looks like I need to smooth the tablecloth. There is nothing like looking through the lens of a camera to see what everything truly looks like!) 

I stamped a little message on the back.  

These are my everyday plates with bowls that I have used for years.  I believe that the bowls came from Target.  I really wanted to add some red salad plates this year and update my everyday plates, but I am still staying away from the stores as much as possible.  

I purchased these red utensils a year ago from Amazon. The napkins are repurposed handkerchiefs with star-shaped napkin ring from Micheal's.  I just love those little tin stars- they are really Americana. 

My favorite part has got to be this gazebo!  

Now on to plan the menu!  

I am sharing this tablescape with Between Naps on the Porch.  Stop by this amazing site to see fun and beautiful ways to celebrate the holiday! 

I am also sharing these Cricut crafts with Bitten by the Bug 2  and their "In the Stars" Challenge. 

I hope that you have a Happy and Safe Fourth of July! 

Thanks for stopping by!
