Red, White, and Blue Delights: Patriotic Tablescapes and Desserts

I’m thrilled to bring you this week’s Linky Party with a special focus on the red, white, and blue delights! This is such a beautiful time of year when we gather our families for picnics, lake parties, and most importantly, to remember and honor those who sacrificed so much for our freedoms. My heart goes out to all who have or had loved ones serving in the military. As a dear friend of mine said, “Will we wake up each day and live worthy of the sacrifice?” This profound question really hit home for me this year. May we all take a moment to remember those who have served our country to protect our freedom. 🇺🇸

Red, White, and Blue Delights: Patriotic Tablescapes and Desserts

Without further ado, let’s dive into the delightful patriotic tablescapes and mouth-watering desserts shared by some fantastic bloggers. These ideas will surely add a festive touch to your celebrations!

Fabulous Red, White, and Blue Ideas from Our Talented Bloggers

Red white and blue delights in this tablescape!

Karins Kottage Happenings

We had an amazing Memorial Day at the lake with a BBQ afterwards with our family. Paddle boarding, corn hole, ladder golf, and pickle ball were the highlights, and everyone had a blast. It’s moments like these that make life so special and remind us of the importance of family and togetherness.

Also, make sure to check out my 4 new posts about our Italy trip! There’s so much to share about our adventures and the ongoing renovations at our palazzo. Just click on each photo to read the posts.
