Howdy Folks! It’s time for Farmhouse Friday 306 and it’s almost Independence Day and Canada Day for my friends up there! Are you excited? We always try and see a fireworks show and around here, they give Disney a run for the money! Especially with the Lee Greenwood song playing at just the right time for the big finally – Woohoo!
FARMHOUSE FRIDAY 306
Eat Dessert First at a Casual Festive July 4th Tablescape
We had a Pinterest Challenge this week. It was an “anything goes” post on flags. All 14 were awesome but I had a 2-fer! A put together a super easy tablescape and added a yummy dessert/fruit salad recipe. I believe if you call it a salad it has less calories. 😉 Click here and check it out.
If you missed last week’s Farmhouse Friday 305, you’ll want to check it out. There are sooooo many patriotic ideas over there. Including several recipes that had my mouth watering! Let’s take a look at some of those clever ideas.
Diane from South House Designs share the before and after of her dining hall transformation. Click over to see the full post. You won’t believe all they did!
Look how cute this is. Michelle over at Thistle Key Lane jazzed up her basket. I would have never thought to do this but I love it! And she has a tutorial for you. So crafty.
I am a huge huge fan of chicken salad so when I saw this I was all in. Jen from Midwest Life and Style made an exciting change to this summer appetizer. You’ll need to click over to see her secret ingredient. So yummy!
This is another super cute and fabulous idea. Carol from Bluesky at Home shares just how she made this cheerful vase with pressed flowers. Hop over and see how you can too. I’ve already pinned it for later!

Cindy, thank you so much for featuring my pressed flower vase. I just replaced the flowers in the vase with new ones. Fortunately, the pressed flowers won’t have to ever be replaced. Have a great day.

So glad you found us! I’ve not heard of Beverly’s Pink Saturday so I’ll have to try and figure that out. Anyway, how cool to live in an old schoolhouse! Looking forward to chatting. Hope you have a wonderful weekend and thanks for the visit.

I know, right?! Carol did a fabulous job. It will always look happy. Thanks Amy
Thanks for hosting Cindy! I hope you have a blessed 4th of July! I didn’t realize the absolutely amazing fireworks that we have down here on the Gulf Coast due to the deep pockets of the casinos. We get to sit either on the beach or take a boat out to watch off the shore, and it’s spectacular. They go on for 30 minutes. or more. Glad you’re going to get to see a great show this week too! Hope you’ll come by & share on Crafty Creators Link Party. I’d love to see you there!

I had no idea y’alls fireworks were paid for by the casinos either. Wow! When we lived on the lake, we all got in our boats as well. Going back home in the dark with so many other boats was a little scary. The fireworks were shot off from the clubhouse marina. I nearly got hit several times with the empty pods/shells! That would not have been fun. Enjoy your time and thanks for the invite to the link party. Stay safe!
Cindy, thank you so much for sharing my chicken salad appetizers. I hope you try them. You’ll have to let me know what you think. I hope you have a fabulous 4th of July!
Hugs!
