Around Lolly's Table: Bastille Day 2024

 


It's time to celebrate Bastille Day!  In case you're unfamiliar with the National Holiday of France, the holiday commemorates the storming of the Bastille on July 14, 1789, which was the first victory of the people of Paris against the Old Regime and marked the beginning of the French Revolution. In France, the holiday is known as le Quatorze Juillet, which translates to "the 14th of July."

The yellow/white fleur de lis salad plates and bowls are from William Sonoma.  The dark blue plates and bread plates are, of course, Fiestaware.




The tablecloth and napkins are from Kohl's.  I purchase the flatware from Facebook Marketplace and the napkin rings were a gift.



The fleur de lis table runner was a gift from my son and daughter in law.


The glasses with an etched fleur de lis motif were purchased in New Orleans.



The salt and pepper shakers and butter dish are from Williams Sonoma.



My dining room table is definitely ready for our Bastille Day dinner tomorrow!  Recipes and more pictures will be forthcoming!
