FELIZ CELEBRACIÓN DE CINCO DE MAYO !!
Tuesday, May 5th is CINCO de MAYO. Ole'!There's plenty of info out there about this day, and its importance to Mexico.
This site has several info links: Cinco De Mayo Sites.
If I were still living in Southern California, I'd pull out one of my
vintage Mexico-themed tablecloths, and set the table with my colorful vintage Bauer Pottery dishes, and have a PARTY! I'll bet you thought I'd say FIESTA, and then show you pix of vintage Homer Laughlin "Fiesta" dishes.

But I don't collect Fiesta. I used to collect Bauer Pottery, and still have a lot of my fun rainbow-colored collection. I am especially fond of my group of rare hand painted Bauer plates - here's just a couple of them:
Bauer was one of the great "CALIFORNIA POTTERY" companies and is highly collectible. For a little Bauer history check out The Collectics Reference & Collector Education pages.
And if you want to know even more, here's California Pottery expert and author Jack Chipman's website, with some of his books on Bauer.
There is a great line of new Bauer Pottery , that looks like the original, but is clearly marked as new. They imprint "Bauer 2000" on the bottom of each piece.
And I'll finish off with another TOP 10 LIST ~ Most Watched BAUER Pottery eBay Auctions listed now.

Yes, Happy Cinco De Mayo from Texas. I love the tablecloths and the spotlight on Bauer. Very appropriate.
Thanks for reading, Kitty! I'm jealous - you're in Texas, and get get real Mexican food - we don't have any good Mexican restaurants here! Had to have Taco Bell take-out, and cervesas at home to celebrate Cinco de Mayo!
