HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA SERIES VOL. 8 PATRIOTIC CHARCUTRIE

THERE ARE A MILLLION CUTE PATRIOTIC CHARCUTERIE IDEAS ALL OVER THE INTERNET.  I HAD A HARD TIME NARROWING THEM DOWN TO A FEW TO SHARE.  

THERE ARE SO MANY VARIATIONS ON EACH TYPE ON PINTEREST, THAT I AM ONLY GOING TO SHOW SEVERAL IN EACH CATAGORY: MEAT AND CHEESE, DESSERT AND CANDY.

HERE ARE MY VERY FAVORITE ONES FOR MEAT, CHEESE, VEGGIE OR FRUIT.

NOT EVERYONE SERVES CANDY AND COOKIES AT THEIR JULY 4TH 

CELEBRATIONS, BUT IT IS FUN TO DO ONCE IN A WHILE.  ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE A LARGER NUMBER GUESTS.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA SERIES VOL. 7 CENTERPIECES

PART OF THE FUN OF SETTING THE TABLE FOR GUESTS IS CHOOSING THE CENTERPIECE THAT YOU ARE GOING TO USE TO COMPLIMENT THE TABLESCAPE.

I AM USING GLASS CANDLESTICKS AS MY CENTERPIECE THIS YEAR.  I GOT THE IDEA FROM THIS PIN.

THE POST USED AIR DRY CLAY TO FILL IN THE HOLES WHERE THE CANDLES ARE AND THEN INSERT THE FLAGS.  THE CLAY IS EASILY REMOVABLE.  OF COURSE YOU COULD JUST TIE PATRIOTIC RIBBON AROUD THE CANDLEBASE AND USE CANDLES INSTEAD OF FLAGS.  BUT I LIKED THIS LOOK.

THERE ARE, OF COURSE, FORMAL CENTERPIECES USING VASES WITH FLOWERS AND THERE ARE INFORMAL CENTERPIECES USING ANTIQUES AND VINTAGE ITEMS.
