cinco de mayo mayhem!

I know, it's weird out there. All kinds of celebrations are cancelled.
We're allllll ready for this coronavirus quarantine to end. 
But hold on, my friends, there is a way to find the happy while we wait:

*This year, Cinco de Mayo is on a Tuesday. TACO Tuesday!* 
It's the perfect reason to celebrate, right in your own backyard!

SO, today I'm dipping back into my blog archives (about seven years back!)
to share three different ideas for fiesta-style tablescapes and bar setups.
With all of us staying home, these ideas will help you
to see 'what you have at home' in a fresh new way to create something fun!

continue reading for a peek at three different themes for Cinco de Mayo Celebrations:


these themes all revolve around COLOR...
so choose your palette, gather up everyday items in those colors, and create a fun table!

First up, a refreshing aqua color scheme with vibrant orange, yellow, and magenta accents.
It's cool, it's fresh, and it's sassy - kind of like a good Sangria!

This second color theme is all about spice: mellow yellow, with spots of orange.

It's HOT, it's spicy, and it wakes you up - sort of like the Tequila in my 'Cheater MargaRitas'!

[ you're gonna' have to visit the blog post to get that recipe!]

... and finally, I was inspired by a certain happy color to create an Orange Crush theme!

i - yi - yi - yi - yi!!!
no siesta, let's fiesta!!!

See? it's not hard to pull some everyday items together to create a fun theme!

And yes, it's totally worth doing even when it's *ONLY* your family who will see it this year.
Make the effort to make every day special for the people you love. And Celebrate Life!
