Memorial Day

We have a small get together for  Memorial Day  this year.   I though I'd go with a lot of  red  this year.  I love starting with the flowers.  I was going to put a small arrangement at each place setting but decided at the end to do one arrangement for the table and finish it with a  woven ribbon.

The only thing in this arrangement that came from my garden was the ivy.

A little closer.....





And very close....

I love this planter. You can click here to see it at

Charleston Gardens

I love this garden center.

 These chargers are one of my favorites.  I got 4 for a gift and I went and got another 8.  I sure do use them frequently !

Lots of  red and white !

I found the red wine glasses at  HomeGoods.  They only had 4.  They are happy living at my house !

I love the stars on them.

Shrimp  Cocktail   is going in here.  I've had these champagne glasses for 10 years.  I like to use them for dessert too.

Inside....

The butterfly water glass is from  HomeGoods  too.  Really I can't stay away from that store however I always feel like the prices there are the  bargain  of a century !   I have to give credit to my sister in law for finding them first   ♥

  

I love to mix and  match.

The ramekins are from Le Creuset Stoneware and can be found here.

I love that they have a cover !

These  Salt  and  Peppers  are from another set that I have.  I'll talk about them some other day.

The  red  flatware has a coke bottle like handle. 

 And....   The  pretty  little red checkered dana slip covers are straight from pier 1.   I keep these chairs in the attic most of the time.  I got them a year ago  because  we have so many people at Thanksgiving every year.  When I need some extra chairs it's nice to be able to change the cover for the  colors  you are using.  I don't think these will go back up stairs for awhile!

What do you think, a good  match ?

The  Buffet  is all set and ready to go.

There will be several  desserts.

Pretty Dessert Dishes !  I love anything  strawberry on these.

I hope you enjoyed your visit and....

Have a very safe and happy holiday.
