So now, the informal poll: Which of these items would guests most likely find on your Fourth of July table:
The literal and cheap: set of three stars and stripes snack bowls for $4. You won't be using these again (and they wouldn't hold up even if you wanted to).
Paper napkins in a traditional color, but a fresh, versatile pattern. Could be mixed-and-matched with other tableware if you don't use them all up on the Fourth. $7 for 15
A colorful plastic pitcher that's just off-theme enough to use year-round without inspiring clearance-rack queries. (And it's Jonathan Adler!) $21
For a few more red or white or blue party accessories on Shine, go here:
A beautiful, blue-and-white tablecloth handmade in Ethiopia
Blue and white retro-inspired Bauer Pottery carafes
Blue recycled-newspaper bowl handmade in Brazil
Classic gingham fabric in red or blue
A subtly patriotic hand-woven table runner
Recycled blue-glass-bottle parfaits—perfect for serving ice cream or fizzy drinks

Report AbuseThe 4th of July wasn't too hard to celebrate for my family....I display historic Americana prints and other items year round, plus I have a dish set displayed in my dining room that was based on the flag. It's my favorite holiday and we make a big deal about it since we do various things year round in support of the troops and veterans.
Thank you Betty Boop. Glad to see someone else feels the same way I do. :)
