With Mother’s Day celebrated and mid May past, it means it’s time to gear up for Memorial Day, Summer and the 4th of July!!
I decided to look through my own photos to see if I could get inspired…
A great way to start is to gather up everything you have that is red, white and blue
and then see what happens!
I had a lot of fun filling this big boat last year
Full of rope wrapped glass balls and decorative orbs, a blue bottle, striped beach chair candles and flags, it sat proudly in the center of the porch table
It also served double duty on the kitchen island holding napkins and flatware for a buffet
A star studded striped bandana fills a glass and forms a vase for flags and sparkly star picks
This Beach Boy Santa joined the fun in several places
He stood proudly in the center of our 4th of July table
Blue Ball jars held red and white blooms
and blue glass pebbles shone in the sun
We dined on Red White and Blueberry Stacks
And All American Berry Stuffed Toast
What a wonderful way to start the day!
Flags were flying everywhere
Don’t forget the mailbox!
Here are some red white and blue recipes too!
How about White Pizza Dip with Roasted Red tomatoes served with Blue corn chips?
Red White and Blue Salad is loaded with bacon, blueberries, cauliflower and bleu cheese
Chicken Under the Stars is topped with patriotic puff pastry stars!
You will need a dessert, how about these Fisherboy Cupcakes, Mini Red Velvet Cupcakes with Blue Icing?
Okay, I have a few new ideas, do you?
