Flashback Fourth Tablescape

This year for the 4th, we are celebrating with friends at their big bash. Since I am not hosting, I thought I'd share with you the tablescape I created for our 4th last year.


I just used items we already had


added stickers to the kids drink buckets


kids place setting with cute patriotic buttons they could wear


the boys love these astro pops & we have to have them every 4th

Watermelon Sours Keg

Watermelon is a "mandatory" treat for the 4th with our family. This year, I am adding these Watermelon Sours to our celebration for the adults!



To make a watermelon keg, cut a lid for the top & scoop out all the fruit. Drill a hole near the bottom & then use a knife to widen the hole until it is slightly smaller than the keg shank. Attach the shank & fill with your cocktail. You can find the kits for around $30.00 at kegworks.com

Watermelon Sours Recipe
Puree 4 cups watermelon chunks; strain. Stir in 4 ounces Alize Red Passion or other fruit-flavored liqueur, 8 ounces gin and 2 cups sour mix; chill. Add sparkling rose before serving. Garnish with lime. Makes 10 to 12 drinks

What are you making for the 4th?

Happy Fourth!

"You have to love a nation that celebrates its Independence every July 4th, not with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file by the White House in a show of strength and muscle, but with family picnics where kids throw Frisbees, the potato salad gets iffy, and the flies die from happiness. You may think you have overeaten, but it is patriotism." Erma Bombeck
