Red, White, and Blue Table

Pat set the table this week with no particular theme in mind - she grabbed some blue dinner plates off the shelf and went with them (believe it or not, our collection of dinnerware has grown since we participated in Alma's "Where Do You Put It All?" 4th annual blog-aversary party over at "The Tablescaper" (Here) a few years ago....one of these days, if I have the nerve, I'll post another exposé - you might say.....)

Flatware is inexpensive Cambridge from Ross years ago

Remember this napkin ring? From Pier 1 years ago - they still have it.

One of my favorite glass patterns - "Reflections" from Imperial Glass Company

Pat found these 16" red tapers at a local antique store

I was too cheap to buy these at Michael's - then I found them on the "90% off" shelf.....

These versatile bowls are "Fun Factory" by Waechtersbach

Pat put small arrangements of silk roses around the table
