Viva Cinco de Mayo!

Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Today I celebrate some of the decorating (and useful) items I have purchased on trips to Mexico as well as items purchased in the U.S. that were imported from Mexico!

I love this pitcher and glasses set.  The glass is filled with imperfections and rimmed in blue.  The imperfections and "bubbles" make it unique.  The set is heavy and can be used indoors and outdoors--think summer parties!


This small platter is from Playa del Carmen. 
It's great for cheese and crackers (and looks awesome with the glasses and pitcher set above).



We use these tiles as coasters in the gazebo.  We purchased these in a market in San Antonio.


I use this traditional Mexican blanket (purchased on a trip to Mexico) as a throw on an old cane chair that sits in our screened in porch.  


This runner is handmade and was purchased on a trip to Mexico.  The style and weave are unusual and when used on our dining room table, the runner adds "spice" to an otherwise formal room.

Getting ready for Cinco night!

...Viva Cinco...Viva la raza!
