Happy Flag Day with Betsy Ross!

Today is Flag Day and a great time to have a tea party with the famed flag maker, Betsy Ross! Of course, being a good patriot, Betsy prefers Liberty Tea, and herbal blend, since the tax on proper tea was one of the triggers for independence. 

On my tea table, I have my vintage Madame Alexander Betsy Ross doll dressed in Red, White, and Blue and holding a scrap of red and white striped fabric. She is surrounded by a porcelain box in the shape of flag she and George Washington are said to have created and a porcelain box Liberty Bell.

I have my Spode Pink Tower tea pot ready for the Liberty Tea with a Spode Blue Italian Sugar Bowl and a Spode Blue Room creamer. The tea cups are Royal Staffordshire American Heritage and show George Washington at Mount Vernon.

I added some flag pennants and some flag-inspired napkins with gold napkin rings to complete the table.

Happy Flag Day!!!

I will be sharing this with Between Naps on the Porch.

Flag Day and the Fourth!

Here is a patriotic table to carry our family from Flag Day to the Fourth of July!

I love these place mats and napkins, which were a gift!

I just bought these salt and peppers from Sur La Table. I have had the glasses and goblets and Colonial Shell flatware for years.

My centerpiece is on a glass cake plate with lots of stars scattered about.

My dining room tea cart is decked out in red, white and blue...

and so is my tea table in the parlor!

I will be joining Let's Dish with Cuisine Kathleen and Tablescape Thursday at Between Naps on the Porch.

Between Flag Day and the Fourth of July!

Today I am sharing my Patriotic Table that I set before Flag Day! I will be posting to Tablescape Thursday at Between Naps on the Porch and Tea Time Tuesday.



I started with a white tablecloth and red place mats. On top of the placemats, I used red, white and blue melamine from CVS from years ago.
The I added clear glassware and Colonial Shell flatware with a white napkin. I used a red, white and blue ribbon for a napkin ring and added a small flag at each place.]



For my centerpiece I used a glass pedestal cake plate with a silver flower arranger on it that was filled with red, white and blue stars and added flags and firework picks.





On the mantle, I used more red, white and blue!









Even the tea cart is decked out to honor Old Glory!



Hope you have enjoyed my Flag Day table!
