Let's Dish ~ Cinco De Mayo

Let's celebrate Cinco De Mayo!

I love setting a fun table and this celebration lets me bring out my few Mexican decorations!

I set a simple table this year for a simple dinner!

I have these great Fiesta small platters and matching Soup Mugs and thought they would be perfect...I selected the Green

and Yellow set

on top of a woven placemat

I love these hand blown glasses...the green edge was perfect!  I found these and the Fiesta plates and soup mugs at thrift stores

I added these yard sale napkins that combined all the colors on the table!  I also added cobalt blue handled flatware.

These napkin rings are twisted wire and green beads.  I've had them for a long time (thrift shop) but the first time using them and I love how they look on this table!

The serving pieces...

This vintage creamer will hold Salsa

This vintage sugar bowl will hold sour cream

This great pitcher will hold either sweet tea or Sangria?  Which would you choose?

This adorable planter is used as a tealight holder

Along with a couple of these cute cactus tealight holders

We will be having Cheese Quesadillas and Black Beans

I hope you enjoyed my Cinco De Mayo tablescape!

Honey I'm Home!!!

I'm back home in Georgia!  I had a wonderful trip and visit with family, but it is always good to be back home!

A big Birthday wish to Mr. ALC today! 

I made banana nut muffins for breakfast and gave him his 'bag o' junk' present!  He loved it all!

My guy truly is a junker and I love it!

This old Polaroid belonged to my Dad and now is part of Mr ALC's camera collection
(he loves it)

Two items for a couple of his other collections

The shaving mug was found at an Estate sale and the travel alarm at a thrift store

This is my favorite of the gifts!  
I found this Fresh-o-later at my friend Sherry's booth in Laurel, Ms.  I knew as much as my guy loves coffee this was a great gift for him!
The Fresh-O-Later was made by the Community Coffee company back in the 1930's and they have been selling them ever since!  


This was a fun joke gift!

I found this book at the thrift store and had to get it.  Mr ALC is always saying we live with a neurotic cat!  It is a very funny book!


Charlie is not so sure the book is THAT funny!

Charlie is looking over the pile of 'stuff' I got from my parent's garage....
good stuff of course!


We will be enjoying dinner and a movie at home tonight and maybe some cake! 


I'm linking up to Thrifty Things Friday even if I am  late!  Hope you are having a fun weekend!


Hugs,
Linda
