Dinner is set for my friends and family to celebrate Canada Day on July 1st.
O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The true north, strong and free
From far and wide, O Canada,
We stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free!O Canada! We stand on guard for thee
O Canada! We stand on guard for thee.
This platter has been in my parents’ home for as long as I can remember. My Mum graciously lent it to me for this post.
Stemware an antique store find from 25 years ago.
.
A small totem pole from our honeymoon.
An Inuit carving of a pair of bears carved from argillite wander across the table.
Napkins from fabric purchased years ago.
Bread plate from Pier 1.
Salad plate from Home Goods – Matceramica, made in Portugal.
Dinner plates Christopher Stuart – Batalha White. I used the salad plates on my Bee Table.
Dinner plate used as a charger from TJMaxx – CIROA. When they were at the store for four weeks I decided it was a sign I should take them home.
Behind the table is draped my quilt “Dual Citizenship”. For although I was born in Canada my home is in the America.
Dessert is set up on the sideboard for after the meal.. In our family EAT-MORE with its dark toffee peanut butter bars is always a favorite choice. There is also red velvet cupcakes and coffee.
Night is falling and it’s time to light the candles.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
Thanks for joining in the celebration.
Stitch at you soon, Dawna

Dawna, this is a fabulous table.. I love the fabric for your napkins.. The bears and totem pole are just perfect for this table. Your wonderful crystal sent me into direct drool mode. The stars on it are breathtaking.. Happy Canada Day/ Happy Fourth.. xo marlis

ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your visit to my blog and your sweet comments. Keep your eyes peeled for someone removing their white fence and you too can have a stash!!
I remember that fabric well -- I worked in a quilt shop in the nineties and used to quilt quite a bit. So many hobbies, so little time!
