Independence Day 2011

The count down is on for the 4th of July celebrations. Here are some party ideas for my gathering that I hope will inspire you.

Old Glory.

Table set-up in the pergola garden.

Sometimes it's all about the chandelier!

After a good cleaning, my favorite red wheel barrel holds ice and keeps drinks cold on a hot day.

Uncle Sam is here too.

My favorite squirrel.

Wrought iron plant stand with sleeping angel, nestled inside the begonias.

Bunny is back outside where he is happiest, watching over the garden.

Looking out at the backyard.

Hanging copper bird-bath.

Ivy topiary with bird peeking out.

View of our cottage.

Looking out on the water--soon fireworks will set off right across the channel.

I love the lights.


Fireworks are about to start. . . so off I go to the boathouse!

We'll chat soon-Cathy
