I chose to do a Fourth of July breakfast table theme for this Tablescape Thursday.
It is BLUEBERRY BLISS time at my house!
There is a large Blueberry farm right near home on the other side of the river, which we pass each time we go to town. It is with great anticipation we wait for this time of year when these gorgeous and FRESH blueberries are available by the flat.
Today was our first buy, but we'll be back for more before the season ends at the close of July. I'm working on a healthier version of a whole-wheat-crust tart shell filled with fresh blueberries. :)
I really don't serve this large of a serving at once ~ ; )
The chargers were brown, I spray painted them white some time ago. The white liner plate is from my old every-day dish set. I bought the shallow blue soup plates several years ago, and the striped blue bowls are glazed earthen-ware from Italy.
The flatware are French imports from the French company Comptoir de Famille.
The cups are from Harry & David, the napkins are actually dishcloths from Williams-Sonoma, tablecloth from April Cornell.
I bought the US flags some years ago from the old Martha Stewart by Mail.
Gosh, I miss her old store!
I hope all of you who celebrate the Fourth of July have a very happy one!
Love the red, white and blue. Your chargers turned out fabulous. I love them white. The blue plates are also stunning. Your flag centerpiece and flowers are so pretty. Love the yummy looking blueberries. Hugs, Marty
Mari! I love your table and the flags in the background. The dishes are very nice and I really do love anything April Cornell! The blueberries with the Strawberry on top is such a great idea for a 4th of July scape!! happy 4th to you and yours...
