Canada day decor

July 1st, 2017 is not only Canada Day, a federal holiday on which we celebrate the anniversary of the 1867 enactment of the Constitution - this year it's also an extra-special celebration, because Canada is now 150 years young.

Flags and red/white gingham played a major role in this tablescape. Inspiration…
