Hail To The Chiefs......And Supper Too

 This is the very first Tablescape I did one year ago. I bought a few new "presidential" items so I could do a new tablescape this year, but have been busy with concession stands and parent/teacher conferences all week. So, instead, I will do this rerun! Have a great long weekend!

What do you do when you come from a very political family?  Why you celebrate any and every holiday that has to do with America!

President's Day supper for the Hubby and me....

With a little Stars and Stripes of course!

Tablescaping a President's Day Dinner is not the same as a Fourth of July Dinner!  President's Day focuses on the presidents.  In this case, it focuses on a couple of the more famous men in our esteemed history.

With a few special touches for two famous men.............

 

A good English teacher can always work some literature into a tablescape!

And the cherries for George of course.  See him peaking around the old light globe?

We tried to raise our children to be very proud Americans. We also tried to instill in them the need to serve America in some way.  Along the way  we collected quite a collection of great Americana.

It was then easy to pull stuff out of closets and cabinets and make a fun little President's Day tablescape for my husband and me.

Stars and Stripes and lots of fun!

 

And of course what would a person have for dessert on President's Day? 

Why Cherry Turnovers of course!

Hope everyone had a great President's Day and remembered, if even for a moment, how precious our freedom is.
