Setting up a Vintage Bar Cart on the Patio for July Fourth

Hi Friends,

This summer I thought it would be fun to use the cart for 4th of July entertaining on the patio.

Today I'm freshening up a vintage bar cart I have had  stored in the shed for a few years. 

Every season I tried to pick up seasonal themed napkins, paper plates, straws, table cloths, etc. to set a ambience to a event, which in this case a Fourth of July gathering.

I recently found and old ice bucket while cleaning my hall closet, I updated the ice bucket did a makeover to it, thinking it would be useful on the bar cart along with silver plate prong, pie or cake server, and a couple of serving spoons that I thrifted a couple of weeks ago.

On the second shelf I thought that a basket filled with snacks bags would be nice

on the low shelf a bucket for water bottles, I think the bucket I used is to small.  I'll have to look around the house or maybe just use a cooler.

Over on the patio table I added terra cotta pot with flags and a couple of diy stars, but it looked a little plain.

So I added some foe red flowers, a burlap bow to the pot, another little terra cotta pot for coasters, a patriotic thrifted place mat and a few wooden stars scatter around.  I think it looks great.

Thank you for stopping by. so until next time...

May God Bless you and your family.

Went Thrifting in July Found Vintage Fabric Napkins

Thrifting is one of my favorite things to do.

This is the last week of July and I want to show you, my great finds this month.

This Mount Rushmore tray was a interesting find.  I'm hoping to incorporate it into my patriotic decor.

Here are four cloth napkins with an interesting design that I'll be putting a side for next spring

Red checked napkins for summer

I could not past this item up.  Who knew? A red pillow case with Embroidered pink hearts.  I will be putting this into my Valentines decor tub for next year.

 

I may restyle this pillow case as a table runner I'll see.

I saw this box last time I went thrifting and didn't pick it up so.... this time I thought I needed it even though I do not need sewing machine attachments  This is a vintage Deluxe Zigzag Attachments Sewing Machine 18 Cam Patterns in a Pink Box.

 I'll be using the box for other sewing items

A cute chicken pitcher that I may paint, not sure yet.

The blue glass bottles are added to the collection when ever I come across them.

Same with the tins, I'm always on the look out for vintage tins.

In this vignette I added a couple of items I collect. The tin box is a Madel coffee tin 

I added a sprig of ivy in white enamel pan with red trim, I have also had for a long time

The pfefee pepper shaker is the largest shaker in a small collection of these little people shakers

-blue candle in prim candle holder that I have had for a few years
