Memorial Day Table for One

We are joining Cuisine Kathleen's Let's Dish Challenge this week (http://www.cuisinekathleen.com/.) The theme is Memorial Day.

Pat chose three small figurines from my Betty Boop collection as the unifying theme. (As most of you know, I have Betty Boop figurines from a couple of inches tall to almost five feet tall.) Then she used red, white and blue for each table.

The unifying theme:

Pat reused the cobalt blue Espana charger.
