The inspiration for my table scape this year for our 4th of July dinner, came from my sweet and thoughtful sister Cindi, who sent me these darling little wooden flags. They are the perfect size to put at each place setting. They are so cute! I am not sure where she got them, but I know that I will use them over and over again. 
I began with the little flags and then just started pulling things from off my shelves and inside hutches. Like pewter goblets, blue transferware plates and tin cups. Then I remembered my white and blue toile table cloth and it all just started to come together. It's amazing what you can put together last minute from around your house. I just LOVE that!! 
The blue glass cake plate was a super find at Home Goods a couple of years ago. A dear friend gave me the little painted tea pot and another dear friend gave me the little Uncle Sam box. I thought they all looked perfect together!! 
Each place setting had a white and blue toile linen napkin tied with red checked ribbon and a little daisy bundle. A silver charger really makes it all pop! 
I love mixing old with new, primitive with fancy and shinny with dull. It makes it all kind of eclectic!! And to think it all started with those cute little wooden flags! Now if only the dinner turns out as well!! HAPPY 4th of JULY!!!!
