Our Mother's Day Table 2015

Hello Sweet Friends,

Hope this finds you well, happy and 

healthy...............

Have to say I have been under the

weather this week, a virus I presume,

started with a terrible burning throat,

then body aches and headache and

just feeling drained.  Am feeling

some better but not there yet!

Hoping I will be up to watching 

our lil darling tomorrow, 

but guess we will see....

Thought I would show you our

 Mother's Day table today.

It started with these pretty lil appetizer/

bread plates I bought back in March at

HomeGoods, when we were in Asheville.

 I had saved them for a special occasion,

and this was it.....then I was looking for

 a tablecloth and thought this lovely green

 and blue floral was perfect, I got this in 

Asheville too, at Target but last Spring.

Had trouble finding some green flowers

at the grocery store, so hubby checked

 Sams and they didn't have any, so he 

went to Target and there they were....

Thank Heavens!

I had wanted to use POMs, they look sort

 of like white daisies but have lime green

 centers, just in case you aren't familiar

with them, but there just weren't any to

 be found this year, but

these Mums worked out great!

These glass candleholder left over from

Dee's Wedding celebration come in so

handy many times.

Then, I used my new basket with some

 white and green faux hydrangeas to

fill in the end of the table.

Since I had decided to use white dishware along

with the pretty lil bread plates, thought maybe

I would use my white basket too.  Liked how

it looked................with all the white ware,

but definitely needed the color of the blue

napkin...........

Here was Megan place, she was the only one

with the lil flowers, and little they were.....

Have had the green placemats for a number of

years, and love how they make the white pop,

the blue glasses I bought at the dollar Tree 

about a year or so ago, and just love them,

and have gotten lots of use out of them.

I absolutely love this tablecloth and think it

 would make beautiful curtains, if only I had a

 room to put them in.  lol

Chose the artichokes to go with the pitcher

and flowers cause thought the artichoke

petals sort of mimicked the shape of

flower petals.

Also love love love the colors and design
of these cute lil plates, and they go
beautifully with my corelleware white
dishes, since they have a touch of white
also.  I really love my corelleware, they
go with anything and they are light
and not at all easy to break and just
have a nice sleek and clean design.
They are really my everyday dishes,
but they get lots of use and you can
not even tell...............

a look down the table

a nice overview

I have had the blue napkins for a number

 of years now, think I got them at Home 

Goods, and I used my Wedding Silver-

ware called Scandanavia by Oneida.  

Still love it to this day.............

This was my centerpiece prior to this table

scape, but it was filled with plates and pink

and white hyrangeas remember??

click here if you want to see.

Another overview from the other side of table

I have more pics but decided to use them with my
Thankful Thursday post, as I wound up changing the
centerpiece a bit and  did some photo affects
on a lot of them.  See..... I am trying to cut down
 on the number of pics per post...........lol

Well, I am finally done..............only took me
the whole day in between resting.........


Am headed to bed and still feeling crummy so
hoping the morning brings something different.

Have a lovely day tomorrow.

Love, Hugs,  and
Healthy Blessings to you,

Nellie
