Welcome to my Flag Day Tablescape! I love our flag and the colors of red, white, and blue.
"My flag, My flag My country's flag,
I love to see you wave."
The salad plates are by Warren Kimball, the "Spirit of the Flag" dishes sold many years ago at Target; there are four different plates.
My in-laws are very patriotic people. This Flag Day my father-in-law lamented about the lack of flags out on flag day. Of course, they had a flag posted in their lawn on Flag Day.
"My flag, my flag, my country's flag,
The banner of the brave."

The dinner plate is brown reactive ware. I picked up eight dinner plates at Tai Pan Trading on clearance for ninety-seven cents each. Each piece is individual and unique and they have such a pretty finish.
Here's the place setting. We use these red "hobnail bowls" all the time. They are ovenproof and are great as over-sized ramekins for individual casseroles. I picked them up at Michael's on clearance earlier this year for fifty cents.
"Wave on, wave on forever,
The banner of the free."
My "bubbly" glass view with patriotic straws from the Dollar Store.
Bandannas -- perfect for patriotic tables. My red pots with geraniums and lemon thyme light up my deck table.
I've placed flags in the vent holes of the red lantern which make it look so festive.
"Wave on, wave on forever,
The flag of liberty." -- LDS Children's Songbook

What a cheery table! We will celebrate our country's birthday on July 1st, so it seems we'll share a long weekend with you this year!
Very lovely tribute to our great country! My flag has been out since Memorial Day. I take it down after Patriots' Day (9/11). xo,
Lovely table! I had been looking for red, white and blue for the outdoor table. I really like yours! Great job!
I love it! The lantern centerpiece is gorgeous, Joni. I am sharing a patriotic table this week, too. Be sure to stop by because there is also a tablescaping addition to my Blogiversary Giveaway.
Your father-in-law will be happy to know we fly the stars and stripes every day of the year.
Hope you are having a marvelous week!

Great holiday post, Joni. I love to see the flags waving on July 4th. Your lovely table is perfect for the occasion.
I love the brown reactive ware plates. They are so shimmery. I really like your flag plates too, so perfect for several holidays.
You should bring me a cookie next time and stop just telling me about them!
Big Sis.
I Joni, We fly our flag every day, weather permitting! I have been thinking of doing a flag etiquette post as I was horrified to see a flag being used as a tablecloth yesterday!!! I see you are using "our" red lantern!! Don't you just love it? I find so many uses for it. Your table is so happy and pretty. Linda
My patriotic heart loves this! :)
Beautiful tablescape! The red lantern is perfect!!
I LOVE plates of any kind... mixing the patterns & colors are so much fun: thanks for sharing your ideas!
Oh, forgot to mention that I stopped by from Kim's at Southern Savvy: & I'm on my way to visit your another one of your posts. I'm searching for 4th of July dessert ideas & your Rice Krispy Star Pops just might be what I'm looking for!
Love your blog!
