IT'S A GRAND OLD DAY TO CELEBRATE!

Since I will be heading off to Europe soon, I didn't want to run out of time to post some great ideas on celebrating Independence Day.  For more information on any of the Pinterest photos that I have used here, paste this URL:  http://pinterest.com/dailyelegance/july-4th/  and then click on a photo that interests you.

I hope these photos inspire you to create fun food, centerpieces and treats for your loved ones and friends.

Cover a table with red and blue quilts.

Let your imagination run wild for centerpieces!

If you are out in your boat, watching the great fireworks over West Lake Okoboji, be safe!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AMERICA!
