Come Rock and Roll w/Elvis for Independence Day celebration

11 years ago

My DSis brought down some of her Elvis collection for DGD's BDay. She left it here for me so I put together a table and buffet for the family to enjoy while here visiting over the 4th. We all knew our Mother was a Big Elvis fan so this should be fun. I kept some of the red, wht and blue going but most of it is in the china cabinet and on our roll top desk.

Here's Elvis in his younger days to Welcome all. He's standing beside DM's china cab w/all her Pfaltzgraff Tea Rose Dishes. One of my DF's just brought me the matching Pfaltzgraff Tea Rose Bunny on top from her ys for $1. One of her co-workers was selling it.

I picked up both of these life size silhouttes for $2 ea. The record player is DSis's.

Each place setting has one of Elvis's albums on top of a silver beaded place mat. I picked up this juke box radio for $1.50 at a different ys after finding the other Elvis things.

Closeup of the juke box. It lights up and is pretty cute. The watermelon and lime candles were .25 and go well with my watermelon dishes.

DSis's record player has a rainbow and clouds in the back ground (reminded me of heaven) so I added an angel with a white rose in memory of Elvis on the buffet.

Couldn't pass up this street sign. What are the odds all of this came to gether for me. I was lovin' it.

Notice the rainbow and Elvis's album title 'I Got Lucky.' Never picked up on it till now.

TJ doesn't understand the whole Elvis thing but she likes having someone to hang out and 'Rock' with.LOL I found her this silver tea set for $3 at a ys. Woohoo

Through the years Elvis changed and this is the King I remember.

Hope all of you have a Safe and Happy 4th. Thanks for looking.

Oh my gosh, Punk this is without a doubt the funnest [yes that is a word my grand kids say it all the time] table I've seen.
Elvis is looking remarkably well.
The black tc is the perfect back drop for this wonderful table.
I love the records on top of the beaded placemats.
The jukebox radio was a steal and perfect for the table. Your sister's record player is cool and is great with the album covers.
The St. sign is the best.
TJ must love her tea set and she looks happy to be part of the festivities.
Thanks for sharing this delightful table with us, I'll be smiling all day thinking about it.

Punk, I totally 2nd everything Nana just said! ;o) This table is so fun--I'm a life long Elvis fan too! Love your Mom's dishes too, that's such a pretty feminine pattern. Whether TJ understands the whole Elvis thing or not--she sure looks like she's ready for a party. Luvs

Your picture of Fredrick Mistral is enabling me very pretty the the darker back and higher petal count. Flirtatious I just need love your pic! this is the first pic of Jane Pauly I've seen very pretty color.and I'm real attracted to color combo on Joshua Bradley. Oh I am looking for a solid orange climber preferably brite not pastel can you give me some suggestions, today I passed one of those orange trumpet vine that was growing up 2 italian cyrpess past the telephone poles if I can't find a good orange I may use this it was outstanding! I should go take a pic! also I originally saw the bicolor maid of honor at lowes it didn't look like my folklores but maybe the one I saw had been in a greenhouse which would make them look alot different, I will definately see it in bloom before I buy it,I have pinata and josephs coat I need another bicolor bright climber climber for my orange yellow and red wall. Oh one of my orange velvets died and the other was mislabled I might replace them that would fill my solid orange do you have this one if so I would love to see a pic also heirlooms has one called bright fire do you know anything about it??

I live in Lovettsville, VA, which is in Loudoun County. We are considered "Northern Virginia" and are just outside of Washington, DC. I grew up in Fairfax County, which is even closer to DC than where I live now. I feel lucky to have grown up near DC and try not to take it for granted. It's still pretty amazing driving over the bridge and seeing a view of all the memorials from the car.

I agree to a point bluebell, as I said above I would not put someone on a ban list just because we were of different parties. I do think that the oldest trick in the book is being used right now though and is dangerous. The ole boring predictable 4 D's is still hanging on from 2008 and is still used by democrats toward republicans...discredit, defamation, demonize and dehumanize but the latest form of revived propaganda is not good for anyone and that is being helped by celebrities as they tend to have more influence if not just on air time alone. The newly revived propaganda is being used on democrats by democrats Problem - Reaction Solution (Chaos) has worked over and over and over throughout history. Its a form of manipulation that is being used that targets fear or in this case extreme disappointment of those in an unreasonable state but in reactive mode. The goal is chaos, mobs, unruly demonstrations. The goal is to elicit extreme reaction. I think there has to be some responsibility here. To me, some of the destruction going on (a lot by impressionable youths) makes responsible democrats look bad...like they condone it. I personally don't think all intelligent democrats condone this behavior but do think it's doing nothing good for our country. So, celebrity grandstanders are on my personal ban list.

Some I'd consider in the "friend" category: (The late) Rodger Kent (Radio/TV personality, businessman and was a very close friend for a lot of years), Barry Zevan (who I almost hired one time, a very interesting and cordial fellow) and Jesse Ventura (like him or not, a very intelligent man). Others I've met: Baron von Raschke, Al De Rusha, Jim Brunzell (all of AWA and other wrestling fame), various other television and radio personalities. Met a number of broadcasters and production people at a monthly breakfast where both past and present TV folks would meet and shoot the breeze. Great time and tremendously interesting to people who were involved in and interested in broadcasting and production. (And they are/were not adverse to telling a few gossipy stories about other "personalities"!) A number of them were pioneers in broadcasting. There's really not a lot of "new" broadcasting, where, in the 40s, 50s, 60s etc, they were finding their way into the medium. Creating new shows, ideas and didn't have the special effects available today. Broadcasting was a passion for these people. They weren't just in it for a multi-million dollar contract like people are today.

Since Jeanne posted twice, LOL, I'm staking claim to her second one! She said it all perfectly for me!
(thank you, Jeanne. I was feeling pretty darn speechless over this amazing display!!)
Punk, you just boggle the mind and I was grinning ear to ear looking at your pictures.

I am NOT letting Teagan know about that pretty silver tea set tho. She'd think I don't treat her special any more!

LOVE what you and Elvis have done!
hugs, Karen

Nana, Luvs, Jeanne and Karen, thanks for all your comments. I sent DSis a couple of pictures and she thinks it needs redone. I told her she could come down and knock herself out redoing.LOL We'll see what she does. I'm always up for ideas.

It is pretty funny to know I shop for my dolly. I didn't get a tea service till I inherited DM's. You ladies have enriched my life so much and in so many ways!

We drank schnapps on the rocks and made alot of salads tonight. DB brought up coconut, apple pie and rootbeer schnapps for all to enjoy and that they did.

Not sure if we'll BBQ or cook a turkey in the deep fat fryer tomorrow. Will probably do both as I'm sure everyone will watch the parade and then stay for the fireworks! I baked 3 kinds of cookies and brownies, also have watermelon, fresh strawberries, baked beans and chips. I'm heading to bed so I will be ready for a fun but long day.

Hope all of you have a wonderful 4th. Punk

Jeanne, isn't it time for Dollbaby to wear her watermelon outfit? Yep, I think you may have been sipping a little schnapps alright! Or did I have to much and seeing double.LOL I haven't changed the table yet but DSis thought the Elvis's and record player and juke should be switched. When company leaves I'll be ready for a change to something totally different. Thanks.

Marlene and Elmaly, thanks for the sweet comments. I've never tried a pb, banana and bacon sandwich but it sounds great. I've eaten so much this last week with having so much company, seems like all we do it EAT! Hopefully next week I can get back on track.HA

WOWZA!!
Cute, creative, clever!
The record chargers, the amazing Elvis figures, the street sign, just everything! Just a hunch that there are some Elvis fans at your house, LOL
Makes me want to rock around the clock!

The highlight is that amazing juke box radio! I can't believe you got it at that price! I wouldn't want to ever change this TS, it is so fun!

TFS,
Candy
