Please Bear with me, one more Patriotic Tablescape

24 comments
Please bear with me, and I mean bear! I saw another one today and I am thinking of changing my name to Cindy Bear! This one was right in my front yard! They are getting a little close for comfort! I screamed bloody murder, the bear eyeballed me and I eyeballed him and I ran! Hubby came running out of the bathroom and saw him as he headed across the road and into the woods! Now the thing is, it was 10:30 a.m. and he was in my front yard coming near my flower bed! I think he is the same one I saw less than 2 weeks ago, because he came out of the same side of the woods! Yikes! I think I need to carry a weapon or pepper spray when I go out to weed my garden!

Now onto my patriotic table! I know I'm late, but I just had to pull out my plates that fit this occasion so well! Notice the view, the bear is missing, but he was in that very yard, near the light pole. My tablecloth is my favorite country living red one!



I used my blue pottery filled with baby's breath and golden showers from my garden. The shakers were $1 at a yard sale and I found the cute little red chair while we were on vacation.




I used my white nubby place mats from TJ Maxx, the white plates are garage sale finds as are the white bowls. Red checked napkins from Wally World.





My patriotic plates! I love these! I have 5 now, 4 bought on E-bay for only 3.50 a plate. They are Liberty Blue ironstone made by Staffordshire. The wine glasses are my Mom's.






The little star votive holders are from Wal-mart and I picked up the white star candle holder while shopping on our vacation.







One more view! I hope you all have a wonderful 4th of July, enjoy time with your families, we have a family get-together on Saturday and I am looking forward to seeing some cousins! Thanks to Susan for hosting this lovely event every week, how does she do it!!! Happy 4th!! Cindy

We returned home late last night and here I am blogging already! Well, I sure have a lot of catching up to do, so be patient with me as I make my rounds!

These were taken about 20 miles outside Asheville, N. C. The weather was lovely and the views were astonishing!


North Carolina is one of the prettiest states! We so enjoyed our time there.
























You can actually take an elevator to the top! It was getting close to closing time so we took this option so we could enjoy the views and oh what views they were!








The city of Asheville below us.









And our beautiful American Flag! How perfect, with the 4th of July upon us! I will be visiting you all soon, I actually have to go in to work today and since I've been gone awhile, I better get a moving. Talk to you soon, Cindy
