Fourth of July Edit

T minus one week to stock up on red, white & (of course navy) blue swag for your Fourth of July Celebration! Here’s what’s on Priss & Vinegar’s shopping list:

//

These embroidered firecracker napkins are the business. Just take my money, Biscuit.

//

You guys, they make water balloons now that fill up by the bunch and seal themselves. (I MEAN.) Our precious snowflakes will never know the torturous work of individually filling and tying water balloons by hand.

//

I wished for a slightly-smaller Hudson Sutler cooler bag and those mind readers totally delivered with the Ross 18-Pack Cooler Bag just in time for Fourth of July! It’s chicest way to keep your water, juice boxes, and shhhhhhhh cool throughout the hometown parade.

//

Charlotte’s & my favorite Vineyard Vines summer shift in ricrac-trimmed blue ikat is on sale rightthisverysecond!

//

One of the top 5 best things about summer is eating ALL THE CHERRIES, so I’ll be stocking up on Good Eggs this week for an abundant bowlful to place on our buffet table.

//

One of the other best things about summer? Seersucker, so I was totally into these charming Dot and Army napkins before I knew they were only $8 a piece. High fives all around.

//

If you’re headed in a beach-like direction, you’re going to need one of these beach tents from Lovin Summer, which are a major style upgrade from your hideous, standard-issue Coleman camping number. My sister-in-law scored one in the sold-out “Santorini” pattern that I’m coveting BIG TIME.

//

This charming red enamel children’s dining set from Crow Canyon Home says “Children are invited but they won’t be messing up my tablescape, thankyouverymuch.”

//

I make Orangette’s Plum Crumble every Fourth of July for our neighborhood block party. Like all the best summer recipes, it’s SO simple to throw together and lets the gorgeous produce shine through.

 

PS, Feeling a little more cheerful about our nation’s future after this and this. Just what I needed to get into the spirit of celebrating ‘merica.
