Cinco de Mayo Table

Cinco de Mayo is just around the corner, and Pat decided to celebrate the day with a very colorful, festive tablescape.

Over view of the table - no dull, boring colors here......Pat used a bright placemat placed directly on the table top

Close up of the place setting

The rustic flatware is "Montana" by Gourmet Settings - the black handles coordinate with the black soup bowl

Pat chose inexpensive glassware from the Dollar Store because of the substantial stem

The succulent-like napkin ring is from Pier 1

First layer of the place setting is a square, matte black soup bowl

Next layer is a bright red salad plate from Waechtersbach

The Dinner plate is a bright yellow "Fun Factory" plate also by Waechterbach

The charger is an inexpensive lacquer charger spray painted orange

The centerpiece is a very unusual candle/flower holder that Pat found at a thrift store and spray painted black. She made two arrangements in large square bowls (that matched the soup bowl) to go on each side.
