Create a Pretty Patriotic Tablescape

It’s no secret that I’m a sucker for a pretty table. I just love making it look nice and creating a special seat for everyone!

Last week I shared ideas for a Patriotic Porch Party and got quite a few comments about the tablescape.

I thought it might be helpful to share a mood board with some similar items so that you could easily recreate the look for your own patriotic celebration.

All of the items shown in the mood board are available via Amazon Prime, so even if you’re late to the game and are just starting to plan, you can still get these goodies…in some cases, the very next day after you order. Gotta love Amazon!

Take a peek below at a few pics from the porch party, then follow the links to similar items on Amazon so you can shop the look!

4th of July Hostess Gift Ideas

Hostess gifts never go out of style. I can’t name one single hostess who would ever say “I’m so mad that you brought me a nice little something to thank me for having you over, cleaning my house like a mad woman and cooking my butt off all day for you.” In fact, after all the work the hostess has put into making your visit special, a little gift of appreciation is actually very welcome. (Take it from a girl who’s almost always the hostess)!

One of the things I miss most about my kiddos being little is their birthday parties. There was something so magical about watching their little faces as they soaked in every detail of a celebration that was designed especially  for them!
