Tabletop Starter

I haven't had the time to get a 4th. of July tablescape ready but thought I would share the start here at Marty's Tabletop Tuesday.  I made a tablecloth out of a paint drop cloth yesterday CLICK HERE  and decided to use it as the base of my 4th. of July table. 



On top of the table cloth I added an old garland that I purchased off of ebay several years ago.


This piece is over eight feet long and had the standard gromets on it so I assume it hung from an upper balcony of a home or business at one time.



I have two of these bird house/flag holders that I purchased many years ago at a local store.  They were on the sale table and I knew I'd find a way to use them on the porch.


The silver tray is the start of a tablescape I have in mind but haven't gotten a clear idea of yet.  Hopefully something will come to mind very soon.


Looks like our black lab Maggie decided to take a peek out and see what I was up to.

    Your table looks quite patriotic. Love the drop cloth tablecloth with the ruffle. Adding the flag runner to it adds the perfect touch.
