Welcome to Centerpiece Wednesday- July 8

Once again welcome to Centerpiece Wednesday- July 8

It was such a pleasure to see so many fabulous patriotic ideas linked up to Centerpiece Wednesday last week. I just love the 4th of July where we get to celebrate our freedom! The colors of this holiday always bring a sweet feeling in my heart as I think about all those who fought to allow us to have these freedoms. I chose a few of my favorites to share with all of you.

First up from last week’s Welcome to Centerpiece Wednesday- July 8 last week is this gorgeous basket that Follow the Yellow Brick Home put together. Amber found her basket at a garage sale for only $2 such a good score! I had a similar basket in my stash and this inspired me to make one for my own front door with out spending a dime!

This Tablescape out by the pool by Marty at a stroll thrulife just makes me miss our pool in Texas so much! I am in love with her salad plates!

The dedicated house showed us this patriotic festive and very fluffy wreath that she found and put on her front door. I love the messages on the ribbon.

What is the 4th of July with out strawberry shortcake? This particular recipe from Hubbards Home is gluten Free!! I need to try this!

How about this beautiful tablescape from Life at bellaterra! Not only did she share this patriotic tablescape but she shared all things 4th of July! You should go and check out her post!

So much inspiration from all of you sharing each week at my Centerpiece Wednesday linky party each week! I can’t wait to see what you have going on this week! I know it will be awesome!

We had so much fun at our daughters navy blue and peach wedding reception! Since the wedding was on July 3rd (5 years ago) We created a hot dog bar and all the guests loved it!

One of the decorations we used at our daughters bridal shower and wedding reception was this huge flower letter “E” that we created using lots of silk flowers.

The wedding cake was absolutely stunning! We had one of our daughters friends make it for us. Emily’s future mother in law used fresh roses starting at the top and cascaded them all down the side of the cake. It was truly a masterpiece!

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!

Karin,

Thank you SO much for sharing my July 4th table! I am now just getting to take the time to look through your wonderful website. I am also VERY excited to read about your Italian palace. Our family has been to Italy multiple times and we just love it there. I am so happy you reached out to me as I feel like I have found a new friend.
