More Red White and Blue

Here are more simple ideas for July 4th entertaining.  I actually have a dark blue colander that would be cute, though it's not old.  Hmmm.  The silverware organized with rubber bands is a fabulously simple idea.  Love it!

I love this colander used as a flower pot.

So simple and effective.  

Leave it to Pottery Barn to give us some cozy patio options.  Not sure where to come up with that cute anchor.  Do you suppose there is ever a rush on Ebay for things we spy in magazines and catalogs?  I bet there is.  The price of anchors just skyrocketed!
