How did it become July?

Seriously. How?

Somehow, July has wiggled it's way forward and presented us with the time honored summer tradition known as Independence Day. So in honor of the Fourth, here are some of my favorite patriotic goodies from some of our favorite bloggers this week.

First off... a little inspiration. Check out this custom inspiration board from Birthday Girl Blog. Love this, and perfect for this weekend's festivities.

P is for Party created this super sophisticated patriotic tablescape that's perfect for a perfectly preppy 4th celebration.

And what's more Patriotic or All-American than a lemonade stand. A pretty-chic, and super cute lemonade stand at that. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this idea from Paper and Cake.

Plus check out Celebrations expert Jeanne Benedict's latest video on Better TV featuring some fun ideas for this weekend's festivities.

Happy Fourth of July everyone!
