A Patriotic Place Setting

I haven't posted much lately.  I've been on vacation. I tend to blog as a fun, sort of stress relieving activity.  On vacation there is little stress to be relieved, therefore I have neglected my blog.

Today is Independence Day, and I'm very glad to be an American.  Don't tax me without representation. Don't tread on me.  

A table always looks nicer when it is set. So, without further ado, please check out my subtle Salute to America in the form of....ceramic, silver, crystal, and linen.
