Happy Fourth of July!

July 4th Centerpiece

Happy Fourth of July to all my Farmhouse Magic Blog Readers!

We hope you are enjoying the new and refreshed version of our blog.  We are now using a different theme but will continue to bring you great content.

The above photograph shows a patriotic centerpiece I’ve put together with a few items.

I used a large dark blue vase for the base and added about four red, white and blue patterned napkins.  I placed a small USA flag in the center of the vase.

However, I noticed the flag had a different shade of red from the napkins.  To blend things together I also added a couple dark maroon napkins which matched the color of the flag stripe.

The silver stars are stainless steel cocktail picks taped to wooden skewers.  I tied some sparkle blue ribbon around the ends of the picks.  A pair of scissors was used to curl the ends of the ribbon.

Slice of Watermelon Cans of Water Watermelon Rind on Dish Peanut Butter Cookies Dusted with Red Sugar and Coffee Cake

This side photograph shows peanut butter cookies dusted with red sugar and pieces of sliced coffee cake.

The desserts were arranged on an informal rattan cake stand protected with white paper doilies.

The table also had an informal blue and white stripped table runner in the center.

At the store I found these cute paper napkins printed with a bright watermelon slice.

For dinner tonight, we will be serving good old cheeseburgers, potato salad, and vegetables.

Enjoy your day and have a great 4th of July!
