Happy May Day


Some of my fellow "Dish Divas" are joining me today to celebrate the glories of Spring and the arrival of May Day 2011.  Please check for their posts:

The Tutorial for Tussie-Mussies was posted earlier this week.


May Day 2010


Roses from my garden and a vintage tablecloth were the inspiration for today's tablescape. Details on the various elements at the end of today's post.




















An alternative to the tussie-mussies is just a bowl of flowers as shown below.




Vintage tablecloth by Prints ES and is named "Coquette"
Chargers from marylandchina.com
Contemporary Fiesta in Chartreuse, White, Sunflower and Rose
Flatware, glassware, glass Easter basket, canisters, chickens, watering can vase - Home Goods

Thanks so much for coming by for May Day and don't forget to grab a tussie-mussie to take home with you.

    Such a lovely table, Candy. I love how the little bouquets on the tc mirror the tussie-mussies. And the little flock in the back ground is so charming. Happy May Day!

    What lovely May Day posies! I have to tell you that I have been so inspired by your tablescapes. I was at a yard sale this weekend and on the table were some fiesta plates...I grabbed them and will be putting together a collection in mixed colors.

    What a delightful surprise to see you have a tablecloth just like mine. My great aunts would have Bridge Parties and use it on the card tables. It always brings back such wonderful memories when I use it! Thank you for making my day! Cathy

    Hi Nicole -

    Of course there is white Fiesta!

    As I posted above in the "details" :
    Contemporary Fiesta in Chartreuse, White, Sunflower and Rose

    White has been available since 1986 when Fiesta was reintroduced to the market place.

    The timeline for colors of Fiesta available and when they were produced is here:
