« A Country Barbecue for Six | Main | Best In Show »
If you want to celebrate the holiday with something sweet, here's a classic drink with plenty of patriotic appeal. Even Teddy Keber knows he's in for a treat.
Combine a fun, fizzy cream soda like this with good vanilla ice cream. Serve it up in something vintage, like these 1940s red, white, and blue glasses I picked up at a flea market in Florida.
Happy Independence Day, everyone, and as always, thank you for reading!

I'm always looking for new ways to meet and inspire readers. From presentations and workshops on decorating and entertaining to flea market shopping trips helping you find the very best things, I hope you'll join me!
Fall schedule coming soon.
After years of traveling the country, buying only the most beautiful and unusual things I love the most, I invite you to browse Eddie Ross at Etsy, a unique collection of hand-picked, vintage servingware and gifts. Every piece in the collection I selected myself. Every piece carries with it detailed descriptions full of ideas. Every piece I would most certainly use in my own home.
And every piece is $100 and under.

Hi Eddie & Jaithan, Happy 4th from Nantucket! I have to say...I love the table setting with the blue goblets and pink chairs...just fab and retro chic! I've been busy in the jewelry studio so I just got around to checking out some photo's on your post. Never restful in a resort community in the summer months that's for sure.
Have a wonderful holiday and stay cool...heat wave for the next few days. Oh...p.s. Teddy Kebler is too cute for words.
Hugs to you guys,
Christie ~ Sconset Flair Studio :)

Die for the glasses, but your sangria is more my taste. It was my best friend the night of the 4th. The morning of the 5th, not so much.
My new go-to cocktail for the summer!

Just wanted to share that I made the Fresca Sangria - your no fail recipe for our cocktail beverage this 4th. It was a huge hit. I used white peaches, grapes, strawberries, and a citrus-peach Fresca. So good! Thank you for such a wonderful idea!

How else would you do a red, white and blue combination but with blue and white hydrangeas and red carnations! How cool is that! And loved you both on the Skirted Roundtable, that was fun!

Reminds me of my summers in the Catskills... If you substitute our German Shepherd for your pooch!
I celebrated Independence Day Week with a series of Color Notes postings on my Gold Notes blog: Red, White & Blue, natch!
Happy Holiday!
