| I really wanted to get this patriotic totem done before the 4th, where we have a big picnic before the fireworks. It is for table decoration, not the garden, hence the right-side-up plates, which I'll use for snacks, confetti, or who knnows! |

| I also put together matching votive and taper holders, one of each combined, so you can use them either way - just flip em over! |

| Well, great first totem Cindy! Love the patriotic theme and the fact that you can use it on the table as decoration AND a serving piece! And the candleholders are wonderful...very creative! |

| Lucky you to find a red vase! They aren't so easy to come by. I like the idea that your totem can be used as a garden decoration or a serving piece too. It would look great on a 4th of July buffet. Ditto for the clever candle holders too! Keep the totems coming! |

| Totem & holders will make a very festive table for the 4th!! What a fun new idea!! Jan |
