Look what we got up just in time?

Getting ready for the guests
Our beautful dessert table, we had to keep things covered up
My flag dessert
Pie...oh my!
For table decorations I used canning jars and red/white gingham ribbon filled with red, white and blue M & M's, we also found lolli pops and tootsie rolls in the bulk candy section of our grocery store. In other taller jars I just put a taller flag inside and tied ribbon at the top. On my tables where guests sat I filled them with red, white and blue tealights. I used the smaller ones so people could still see each other while they visited. I didn't get a picture of those. Very simple and easy decorations! Loved it...
The highlight of my day was when we were able to post this beauty in the ground!
Hope you had a wonderful weekend and happy holiday with your family!

Hi Carey, your decorations are wonderful - just so festive.
ReplyDeleteI like all of your added touches and your flag flowing on its stately pole looks PERFECT.
So glad your day went perfect as well.

ReplyDeleteMorning Carey! Looks like you had a fantastic day for sure...loved that tea stained banner and the flag was just beautiful!!!! We always have a flag flying high at every home we live in...it is always the first thing Bill does when we move in...sets the huge flag pole up and yes deciding just the right spot is a major issue! lol But it is always so moving to see hime raise the flag for the first time in it's new home! Congrats to you and your hubby on your retirement..may you enjoy many years of blessings and memories in your new home...thanks so much for coming by to visit..hope you have a glorious week my friend! ~Picket~
