Seeing Red (At The Table)

Lots of red with blue and white
for our everyday table setting.
My Coca Cola soda crate is replacing
 the yellow and blue Pepsi crate seen HERE.
It's filled with table necessities.
 I'm using my blue Longaberger S&P in
their basket, glass insulators for votives,
and red striped napkins from IKEA.
Another Longaberger basket holds
a few rolled stars and stripes napkins.
Blue plate chargers and blue and white 
Denmark/Franciscan dishes.
I found these red glass salad bowls at 
Old Time Pottery years ago. They've also 
been used at Christmas and Valentine's Day.
 Picnic checked cocktail napkins in a small basket.
Jean pocket coasters. I found these about
 10 years ago at a dude ranch we vacationed 
at in Colorado. (King Mountain Ranch)
 I'm using blue bandanas for napkins.
A vintage potato masher makes a great napkin holder.
Sliced strawberries.
Pretty hearts to top a spinach salad.

Cheers!
