Bizzare Tablescape Theme Ideas

Before I reveal the Tablescape ideas let me discript my last week.
On Friday night the museum where I work held there annual auction. We have been working on this for several months. Our theme this year was Camp Howze which was a miltary camp that was in our county during World War II. We had around 300 in attendance and over 275 items to auction off. We had a great turn out and with the help of numerous volunteers it was a great success. I am including a few photos of the Auction. This was tablescaping in a big way!!!!!
Stage Area
 Bandqet Room
 40 Tables
Our Theme was the USO/stage full of live auction items

The photo below shows myself (floral jumper) with
  the Board Presdient and Co-Chairmans of the Auction
 all dressed in the 1940 error. We did have loads and fun.
How did those women wear those high heels????
    
So needless to say with the auction and Mother's day a new table scape idea was not coming to  me.
Oh what a great Mother's day, family and no cooking. I did not cook as the family ordered food from a local tea room. We just warmed and enjoyed. Love those kind of meals. Gifts were great new dinning chairs from Big Jim, glass candlesticks from the daughter with a hamdcafted card and an hour massage from the son, I hit the jackpot. My mom even brought me  a pink glass candle holder.(the start of new collection)

Sorry just had to share Mother's Day. Now on to tablescaping ideas............................................
While trying to come up with a unique theme for a table scape  I decided I would check holidays in May. I goggled  holidays and  to my surprise Bizarre and Unique Holidays came up. Isn't it great what you can find by goggling. These are not your tradintional holdays, so I thought I would share my find. Below is a list of the May holidays, hope this will help those like me that sometime need a theme for a table scape. I think I will check this out monthly and plan my tablescapes.

    You really make it appear so easy together with your presentation however I find this matter to be actually something
    which I think I would by no means understand. It kind of feels too complex and extremely
    vast for me. I am taking a look forward on
    your next publish, I will attempt to get the dangle of it!
