Whether you’re going out to a festive gathering, staying in and
hosting your own party, or spending the evening on your own, there is no excuse
to not have a colorful and inviting table for Cinco de Mayo. I always consider
it as the harbinger of summer, so I like to go all out and include as much
color as possible.
This place setting is wonderfully fun. The base consists of two placemats, the
striped one with the fringe is from Pier One, the round lime green one from
World Market.
It is topped with a geranium leaf charger from Bordallo Pinheiro, on which I
placed a red plate from Pier One’s spice Island collection, as well as a chili
pepper plate by Hausen Ware, an eBay purchase. The salt and pepper shakers add
a whimsical touch.
Deep yellow chalices along with yellow Noritake flatware brighten the setting.
Heavy margarita glasses with a cactus stem from Pottery Barn, years ago, await
refilling. The napkin was made by me from Alexander Henry fabric.
Two carved wooden eggs, one on top of the other hold fresh limes, well a pair of avocados I’ll wait being turned into guacamole.
Happy Cinco de Mayo no matter how you celebrate!
