Can you believe that we are closely approaching the fourth of July!So I started thinking about adding a little red white and blue.
Where is this summer going?
As I was thinking of some simple ways to add a bit of charm to my table while celebrating the fourth I thought some fresh flowers from my garden in a white pitcher would work.
Now adding a bit of blue.Well I have a blue tray and a pretty vintage curtain panel that I use as a table cover.
Yes I know that table cover has some pink tones.But it does work well with the fresh flowers.
When I entertain I love using trays.I normally gather my dishes,napkins and utensils and set them up on a tray.
It is all ready to serve.I can empty that pitcher with the utensils and use it for cream for coffee.
And I will also add some coffee cups stacked and ready to go.
This tray was painted Annie Sloan Louis blue and just sanded a bit.
I really love this color.
So pretty and ready to go!
A serving tray as a centerpiece or ready to serve for your fourth of July celebration!

So pretty Anne! I had an old wicker tray in my hand the other day, and I’m wishing I had bought it for my dining table. Maybe it’ll still be there the next time I visit. Love your red, white, blue, & pink. 🙂

I love setting things out on trays, too. I have several and have to turn away when I see any for sale or soon we will be eating off them instead of plates! lol
Everything looks good and it is really looking very patriotic at your place-xo Diana
