Americana Breakfast Table

The first place I decorate for any holiday
is the breakfast table. It instantly gets me
 in a holiday mood because we see it
 and use it every day.  

My RED tool tote,  (Made it HERE) is the

 centerpiece. I filled it with a few potted 

plants and a paper flag. A little wooden swag

 is taped inside each end. Think hearts for

 Valentine's Day and snowflakes for 

Christmas. It's been a very versatile

 little red tote. 

The ususal suspects: Longaberger Patriotic

placemats and napkins, blue & white dishes

 mixed with red transferware, blue goblets,

2 'cheapie' stars and stripes bowls.

Added a  picket fence table runner,
(another one made HERE) gives it an

Americana-homewtown-picket-fence-yard
kinda feel. I love picket fences and this is
as close as I'll get to having one.  

 That's my Mother's Day orchid still blooming. 

That's why I love orchids. They bloom for
 months! And then they bloom again several
 times a year...for years!

 Wooden firecrackers.

 That's the broken end of a hoe. 

It's red so it's in.

 A Longaberger Patriotic basket is filled with 

dishes ready for dessert,

Next time I make this German Erdbeer
(strawberry) Kuchen,

 I'll add a few blueberries.

Just plop a few right on top of 

the whipped cream!

Cheers!
