Well I’m thinking we are going to see a lot of Red, White and Blue this week on our tables. It’s time for Tablescape Thursday so visit our hostess Susan at Between Naps on the Porch to see a variety of tables decked out for our viewing pleasure!
Dear and I arrived to our home in Washington on Sunday night after 15 hours on the road. We drove from California. I will be in Washington for the next 6 weeks. Dear flies back to California on Sunday. Boohoo! On Monday evening we had all our kids around the table for a meal. Now that is a wonderful thing.
I decided to bring out the red, white and blue for the week. On Saturday we’re having a gathering so this will serve as the buffet table for that event.
For those of you who live in the U.S.A.,Β hope you all have safe and sane 4th of July celebrations. Thanks for stopping by…
Photobucket is holding all my photos that I stored on their site from 2007-2015 hostage replacing them with ugly grey and black boxes and asking for a large ransom to retrieve them. It is a slow process to go through all my posts deleting the ugly boxes.
Hi Ellen, your table is wonderful….so full of color and joy!!
Happy July 4th to you and your family.

Hi Ellen B.,
Your tables are always the BEST and I’m sure your guests will be most impressed.

Hello Ellen B! I loved your post and the people were at the table enjoying the tablesetting! Happy 4th my Friend!

Hi Ellen B.,
It sounds like you’ve had a house filled with FUN!! Yes, the fish and loaves, God is truly amazing and I’m often baffled when it seems like there’s nothing left, yet He always increases. He is so faithful!!!
Friday is my normal day off so I get Monday. I’ll be cleaning, organizing, and figuring out what to keep and what to toss. Maybe I should try Mighty Mom’s technique. That was the funniest thing ever.
Gotta go to bed…I’m exhausted, although I don’t know why, I’ve been sitting here on my computer for hours. Some of it included doctoring my photo’s ;-O! TMI…I know.
Have a lovely evening!!!
xoxo Cori G.
Beautiful table and a beautiful family! Happy 4th to you and yours!
I’m loving all the red, white & blue. I had a feeling that we would be seeing lots of patriotic tablescapes today. I love yours. I’ll bet you were glad to see all your children again. Have fun in Washington, even if it is without your dear hubby. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. At least I hope it does. Have a happy & safe weekend.
Lovely red white and blue ~ Happy 4th Ellen!
That’s just so patriotic – Happy Fourth to you!
What a content and good-looking bunch gathered at your table! Yes, the red, white and blue is a feast for the eyes. You know how to set a table, girl! Happy 4th, and be safe wherever you may be.
Brenda

I do love your tablescapes–you are so creative with such excellent taste!
Very festive, Ellen, and the Target birds just fit right in! Love this! And love the cute family enjoying the tablscape. Happy Fourth!
XO,

This is very nice and it looks like the family enjoyed it.
Your table is so appealing — fresh and fun, but not so over-the-top that a family can’t enjoy it — and yours obviously DID!
Happy 4th, Ellen. Oh, and thank you for the very kind comments you left on my new blog. Let’s not be strangers!
Bill @ Affordable Accoutrements
Great table, happy 4th! :O)
I love seeing all the red, white and blue this week. Such a great and fun occasion. Your table and your family are beautiful! Happy 4th!
Christi
Beautiful table – so wonderful to share it with your family. Love that table runner!
I really like the way you have layered the runner over the check tablecloth–great idea!
I knew you’d have something fabulous for Independence Day!
Happy Freedom Day!
Jody
Pretty soon you will have as many comments as states! Very cute table here!
I wanted to mention that I am hosting a Christmas in July Tablescape Party at my Playing Dishes blog. There will be one held each Saturday this month. Please come and participate or at least visit. A holiday tablecloth will be given away on the last Saturday, July 25. Info on signups is available by clicking my sidebar meme.
I am also having a weekly Christmas giveaway at my Christmas Memories in My Heart blog. Weekly entries are closed out a midnight on Wednesday for this.
Hopefully some of you tablescape regulars will pull together a tablescape for CIJ or pull out some photos from last year to post.
Happy CIJ!
