MY FIRST TABLESCAPE THURSDAY!!!!

This tablescape is in honor of my U.S. Marine husband who just recently graduated the police academy. I decided to keep the patriotic theme going for Memorial Day, Flag Day and until we have his BBQ this Saturday (i'll post some of those pics next week).   I kept it simple but still think I might add a few items here and there.


Im joining the party @ Between Naps on the porch...you can click the button on my sidebar to visit her blog.  Also Larson Loves & Craft-o-maniac....the inspiration for my coffee filter bandana garland.  Check out both her blogs, button also on my sidebar.

  2. What a festive table! I always like to see the photos showing how the tablescape was "built," so thanks for that! Love the red, white, and blue theme, and the second shade of blue adds a lot of interest! Congrats to your husband!

  8. How festive! Great job. I love to do red, white and blue and will probably do one for Father's Day since I'm sort of at a loss for that holiday.
