I know this post was just a couple of days ago, but, still it is a favorite of mine. I love the red, white and blue!
It's time for Sunday Favorites
Sunday Favorites is hosted by Chari at Happy to Design
Here is my favorite this week:
After enjoying the Red, White and Blue Festival last week, my husband and I plan to have a quiet weekend at home this 4th of July. There are fireworks shows on both of the lakes (Bull Shoals and Norfork). We might venture out to see the show but otherwise we will be close to home.
However, being home doesn’t mean you can’t be festive!
A 4th of July table for 2.
You may remember this plant hanging from the shepherds hook in a previous post. Today, I've dressed it up for the holiday.
Remember this from Monday? I added a silver charger and a red candle.
Even the birds got in on the act with their Uncle Sam hats.
A silver charger, white plate, red napkin and Spode Blue Fitzgerald plate on top make up the layers.
Red cut glass goblets and two-toned flatware finish the setting.
A little fluted white bowl with blue trim for dessert.
Isn't he handsome?
We're ready to eat!
Thanks for stopping by. Hope you enjoyed your visit. You can find lots and lots of great tablescapes by lots of great people over at Between Naps on the Porch.
Today’s Lagniappe: Arkansas Sin
Who can resist this?
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 4 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
- 8 ounces diced cooked ham
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
- 1 (1 pound) loaf round sourdough bread
- 1 cup buttery crackers
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese, Cheddar cheese, ham, onions and jalapeno peppers. Cut a circle out of the top of the bread, and remove the center leaving a 1 inch shell of bread. Fill bread with the cheese mixture.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven, until the dip is heated through. Serve with crackers for a wonderful taste experience!

Hi Christi…
So happy that you joined in with Sunday Favorites this week, my friend…what a great post! Love your beautiful 4th of July tablescape…especially those cute little Uncle Sam’s hats on the birds!!! You’re so creative! What a beautiful plant and I love that you added all of the festive goodies to it…I never think about doing that and will have to remember to give that idea a try! I love, love, love that darling red cage…wherever did you find it? Mmmm…yummy! I have never heard of Arkansas Sin…it sounds delicious! Thanks for including the recipe!
Well my friend, thank you again for joining in with Sunday Favorites! Have a wonderful week!

I love how you decorated the table for just the two of you — it is so lovely not to neglect to celebrate even when there are only two!
And my favorites? The birds with the HATS on … laughed out loud … and of course the Spode. I am deprived — I have no Spode at ALL. And it is so gorgeous.
Happy July!

I love the 4th, it’s a chance to bring out the party stuff and celebrate in style. Thanks for this post!
One of these days I’m going to try that recipe for Arkansas Sin. Maybe the next time I have some leftover ham.
