Vintage 4th of July Tablescape

Home spun and vintage is my 4th of July tablescape.  I started with an old Log Cabin patterned quilt for a tablecloth.  
I then layered the mix and match pink and blue transferware over pewter plates as chargers.
Pewter, Wilton Armetale pattern Plough.
Dinner plate shown below.
Salad plate by Johnson Brothers pattern Coaching Scenes.
This plate is 17th Century England Ironstone pattern Red River.
Dinner plate by Johnson Brothers pattern Coaching Scenes.
Salad plate Johnson Brothers pattern British Castles.
Dinner plate by Johnson Brothers pattern Coaching Scenes.
Salad plate unmarked.
 Vintage pewter mugs from our bicentennial year; 1976, and our national parks, give each place setting it's unique look.
For the centerpiece I have used a giant Ball canning jar purchased a few years ago at Cracker Barrel.
I also have some vintage postcards scattered around.  A primitive eagle carving, vintage bottles with flags , and a small Uncle Sam to complete the look.  

A vintage canning jar for a candle holder.  As the evening cools down we can carry the canning jar lanterns outside and use them to light the party there.
There is no date on the back of the postcards but they are old.  I will join Leigh for Thrifty Thursday because all of this table is from my collections, I purchased nothing. 
I will be joining Susan for Tablescape Thursday at her site Between Naps on the Porch.
I will also join Leigh for Thrifty Thursday at her site Tales from Bloggeritaville.
