Independence Day Table

This week's table features one of Pat's "bargains" that she couldn't leave on the clearance rack.

Here's the plate that Pat bought from the sale rack at Pier 1 last year after July 4th

You can see why Pat was so excited about these accent plates.......she didn't like the "spotty" look but for the price.....

Pat used red, white, and blue vases and tea lights to add more interest
