Paul and I hosted a Mexican Fiesta dinner party Sunday night. It was all set up around our copper round table and buffet station. I decorated with Mexican fans and colortful pots. We invited Jain and Scott and two other couples. Jain and Scott have gorgeous gardens. A Quiet Life Blog. Jain and I met online and discovered we live rather close to one another.

I used Mexican blankets for the table covering. Large aqua placemats hold the terra cotta saucers I used as chargers.
A Mexican table is full of color plus some fruit. A fiesta in the making.

Paul built this buffet years ago. It makes for easy entertaining. Our guests just help themselves.
I served vegetarian enchiladas, chicken fajitas, Spanish rice, beans and street corn.

These are the gorgeous flowers Jain brought for the Mexican fiesta. Sunflowers, roses plus so many other varieties of lovely flowers. Jain has the most fabulous gardens. Check out her blog- A Quiet Garden Life.

So colourful and bold. I like your thinking of using terracotta saucers as chargers. You must have infinite storage for all your decorations and accoutrements for your themed parties.
ReplyDeleteThis is more fun than anything! I love the colors -- they're just fabulous and so bright and cheerful. It's a wonderful table and I'll bet your food was terrific!
ReplyDeleteLinda, your party looks fabulous! I love all the color that you used and a great idea to use the terra-cotta saucers as chargers! Your guests must have felt special and I am sure loved your menu. Jain’s gardens are amazing!
ReplyDeleteStunning as usual Linda. You are so artistic and I love your table. I did notice the food warmers on your buffet and smiled as I have the same ones purchased many many years ago on the Q. We have commented in the past at our similar likes from long ago. Mine still look brand new and just as shiny and I always receive compliments when I use them for large gatherings. Have a great and Blessed day.
