A Mexicana Tablescape!!

Ok! So, I had these BEAUTIFUL saucers that I wanted to use for a Cinco De Mayo Tablescape! However, outside of the tablecloth well......the beautiful saucers were all I had to work with so needless to say there was no Cinco De Mayo Tablescape.


While out thrifting this weekend I came across some really good deals and after going home and looking at everything again "a lightbulb came on!!" with the items I had purchased, I had the rest of the Cinco De Mayo Tablescape! (just a little too late)


So, I set to work washing all the new items and pulling stuff out of the drawers and cupboards and Wa-Lah! We have a beautiful setting just waiting for some tortillas, rice, salsa and chips!!


Let me know what you think!!






This is a hand painted tablecloth that I purchased in TN last year for $10.00!
I just loved the rich colors and the pattern, this is it's first debut!!







Gold chargers from Walmart 

These red metal chargers were one of my finds this weekend. I purchased them from Savers and they were a set of 4 for $4.00. They are from Walmart and were originally $3.97 each! I plan to use them for the 4th of July!  

Another find were these pretty Home Trends buttery yellow plates purchased at the Goodwill for $1.00 each!

And now for those beautiful saucers I was telling you about! I found these at Savers several months ago and they were $1.99 each. On the back they say TableTops Gallery, Italiano, Hand Painted. I just love the deep rich colors and had to splurge to buy them! (very well worth it)


I brought out the Golden Bouquet Flatware for this setting.






Stemware was purchased at the Dollar Tree

Napkin Rings are Better Homes and Gardens from Walmart 



Well, I think it's time to get those tortillas going!!
Thank You so much for stopping by and I hope your day is Plum Perfect!!

  17. Oh, I am so excited that you found all the items to create the tablescape in your mind! The handpainted table cloth is amazing, and I have never seen one before. I clicked on the picture and made it larger so I could see the art work.......fantastic. Your chargers, yellow plates, stemware and flatware, in addition to your most colorful Italian salad plates make the happiest tablescape ever!!! I would love to be your guest and eat some Mexican food at this festive table!
