4th of July Tablescape & Dinner

I threw together a quick 4th of July tablescape this afternoon. I started by layering one of my United States map tablecloths over the white one already on the table.

I used our Syracuse China restaurant plates. What could be more American than diner plates?

I added a flag motif paper plate along with the matching napkin.

I wanted to use my blue goblets, but I only had four and I needed five. My solution? Mix and match with red goblets!

I had the same issue with my corn on the cob dishes. I have four in the Star of David glass pattern and four in Shawnee Corn. So, again I mixed and matched those, as well as the butter dishes.

In the center of the table is a red, white and blue glass ice bucket, paired with pewter candlesticks. I must remember to pick up some blue candles!

We had ribs, macaroni salad, corn on the cob and fresh sliced cucumbers and tomatoes. Yummy! I believe the ribs, hands down, were the best The Husband has ever smoked.

There was face painting.

There were sparklers.

There was a spirted session of "Red Light/Green Light" and, of course, we watched the big Riverparks fireworks show. A very good time was had by all!

How was your 4th?
