yellow chargers topped with red chargers then layered with striped plates matching towels as napkins |
 |
matching striped glasses and tablecloth. |
 |
I have never celebrated Cinco de Mayo before but one day at the local dollar store they had these colorful plates, and all matching accessories and I came up with a tablescape of bright colors but what would I use them for? |
 |
And then I found the mini cake stands and I knew it would come together for Cinco De Mayo party on the 5th of May.This is a Holiday celebrated for the Mexican revolution,kinda like our 4th of July.I couldn't resist the mini colorful cake stands(why not? I can just add them to my collections) |
 |
I had red chili peppers that hang somewhere in my kitchen placed on top a bright red square cake stand, with matching red and blue, yellow candles. Oh yea and the ever favorite colored beads. |
 |
A blue bowl added for more height to display a mini stand |
 |
I tried to get a photo of the tri colored flatware but I can see I didn't do a very good job. Oh well, claiming photography skills is not on my resume. |
 |
| I used red, yellow and blue flatware it doesn't show very well in the light but this was a real cute table to do.Hope you have a great week and pour me a Margarita please it has been one heck of a week. |
Susie, You have done Cinco De Mayo proud. Who wouldn't feel festive at this table. I never find wonderful things like this at the dollar store, I think I should go shopping with you. The colorful linens, the striped plates and glasses, and those cute yellow mini cake stands are perfect! Have a wonderful day..... Candy
ReplyDeletethank you Candy for your wonderful comment. this is the first time I have ever celebrated this Holiday. I would love to go shopping any time with you where do you live? if your are ever in San Diego we will spend a day together.Susie
DeleteI'm with you on the margarita. Now you have me wanting to go back and buy those plates at the dollar store. Cute tablescape!
ReplyDeletesometimes I find things at the dollar store I have no idea what to do with like this tablescape. How does Strawberry Margaritas sound to you? Susie
DeleteVery festive, Susie! I bought those plates a few years ago, and we don't celebrate Cinco either! I don't drink, so make mine w/o the liquor please! I don't know that I will get to a Cinco table this year, busy week ahead!
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect setting for celebrating today! Love all the bright pretty colors...I love bright & cheerful things. You'll never find me making a Civil War quilt or working with "ThimbleBerries" fabrics. LOL
ReplyDeleteWe never celebrated Cinco either & won't this year...too much going on but your table sure looks enticing...I'll join you in that Margarita...Ole'
Susie, this table is so much fun. I love all of the bright colors and the stripes. Did you find all of this at the $ Store? Those little cake stands are so cute. I can never find chargers big enough to use under another charger. That really makes the place setting look great. Wish I had a Margarita right now. It's toast your table. laurie
