HOLIDAY FESTIVITIES HAVE BEGUN.....

Well yesterday was our town's fireworks celebration at the waterfront park.   This year I decided to save myself the walk over to the jam packed park of probably 1000+ people for a nice but short show and then make the pilgrimage back home.


Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo I decided to do like some of my neighbors and have a party in my front yard.....Here was my little set up for snacks, drinks, dessert!

 

I wanted an Americana feel so I used some on my vintage pieces and the same color scheme as on my porch....RED-WHITE-BLUE & TURQUOISE! 

I put my little red Christmas wagon on the left and lined it with a turquoise Pier 1 napkin....stuck in a vintage pie tin for height and filled with blue & red juices for the kids...water bottles for adults.  Added one of my handmade shutter stars.

Use placemats from last year (love the colors) to bring some color and it held 2 bowls of food.

One the right side is a red cubby box...which I used to hold Smores Pop Tarts for the kiddos and some plastic forks.   All the plates & cups were to the right.

In the center I used my vintage chalkboard that I painted blue and gave all the passer bys a message from our house to theirs.

That big circular tray in the middle is a pretzel tray from the Philly Pretzel Factory!  I cant tell you how good those things are, I order one or two for any little event or party we have.   We had butter cream and chocolate dip for the pretzels YUM!!!!

WELL I LEAVE YOU WITH SOME PHOTOS OF THE FIREWORKS...THE NEXT 3 DAYS WILL BE FAMILY TIME SO I WILL SEE YOU WEDNESDAY WITH A SPECIAL GUEST SURPRISE!

Oh and I had to share this, my husband brought this home from grocery shopping this morning (yep, he went shopping and make me brunch)   

HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT HOLIDAY WEEKEND

STAY SAFE

GOD BLESS!

GOD BLESS AMERICA.........

BBQ's and pool parties are great, so is getting together for fireworks at night.  But, let's all remember what today is about (take a look).  Let's also remember all of our military men and women that are away from the U.S still fighting for the freedoms that we enjoy every year at this time.  I  dont mean to preach, Im the wife of a U.S. Marine who served his deployment overseas a little over 1 year ago and Im happy that he is now home with us.  Not all are so lucky, please pray for those who are not home at this time and thank them for their sacrifices so that we may enjoy our freedoms.
