I love three day weekends...I really do. But this year our car quit working the day before everything closed down for the Fourth, so we'll spend Thursday-Monday morning at home with no car.
I was kind of bummed at first, because I felt like I was just throwing things together for our company this afternoon. I went through my kitchen drawers and cupboards in search of red and blue serving platters and linens. After scrounging around the house this morning, I found this old blue quilt and a red gingham curtain panel for the picnic table.
I placed little American flags in a jar of beans (my husband's idea), and there you have it...we're all set for company!
Love it! I've been meaning to e-mail you...I found a vintage Strawberry Shortcake carrying case for $1 at a thrift store and would love to pass it on to you if you are interested. Could not find your e-mail address, but will send you a pic if you'd like to see it first! :)
Oh Jen...Just as we talked about this morning~~so beautiful. Now these are the memories you want to make with your family. Just like the one we talked about. Good Job!
Lord, you have assigned me my portion and my cup; you have made my lot secure. The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places. Surely I have a delightful inheritance. Psalm 16:5-6
