Pink and Calla Lilies for Mom


This is a re-post.  I have been so busy with two dinner parties, I am taking this day off. We had a Cinco de Mayo dinner party
 and then an Italian Chef dinner. 


 We are taking my Mom to Brunch today.  I feel so fortunate to be here to celebrate this very special day with my Mother and husband.  This day last year, I came home from the hospital, after having ovarian cancer surgery.

Mother's Day is here, so it's time to make Mom feel extra special.  She is already loved and appreciated, but I want to make this day very special.
My Mom loves pink, mauve, etc., so it's logical I would use her favorite colors for a Mother's Day Brunch.
The weather has been quite nice, so we can sit outside. I set this table outside of our kitchen window. The table is situated by a Koi pond.


The chairs are green, so it makes perfect sense to use this table set. I layered the table with a pink tablecloth and added a  white lace tablecloth for added elegance.


The french doors lead to our Dining room. I used white chargers from Pier 1 and added green plates I got at Marshalls. The salad plates and matching bowls are by Gracie.

I am using my green Fleur De Lis glasses along with green goblets. The green flatware is from Horchow.

The napkin rings are from Zgallerie. They are fitting for Queen for a day.

The pink frilly covering around the flowers is actually a toddler's slip.

This setting is very pretty with our Japanese Maples.
You can see the fish fountain head behind the chair.

Here's my Mom:  She is very active.  She has a pet-sitting business.  She crochets, knits, makes jewelry and belongs to the Red Hat Society.  
My Mom's favorite song is "Rock Around the Clock" by Bill Haley and the Comets.  In fact, our clogging group has performed a dance with that song. 
Here's the video of us performing it. Yes, I am wearing the hot pink skirt.

I also wanted to honor my Grandmothers.  I miss them very much!   This photo is precious. Love  the hat! She is my mom's mother.  I also have a love letter from  my grandfather to her when they were young. I want to honor my other Grandmother as well.  I am at a loss for  pictures.  I hope to get some from  my family.
 I want to wish each and everyone of you a very happy Mother's Day.  Thanks for stopping by.

  32. Hi, Linda! I love the Queen for a Day reference with the napkin rings! That ol' Z Gallerie really hit the nail on the head with those!!! I'm trying to remember when I've seen a tablescape of yours in an outdoor setting..... What a great environment to enjoy a summer's day! I am sure your Mom really thinks the world of it! Sounds like she is super-active!!! I don't have Adobe FlashPlayer on this computer, so I can't watch your clogging performance video just yet. I don't know why this one won't accept Flash Player!!!!!! :-( Still, I wish you a very happy Mother's Day weekend!

  67. Darling Linda! Your post just barely came to me via email, and I am so late! First of all, I am grateful to God that you celebrated with your beautiful mother, and to think that one year ago, you had your surgery. BLESS YOU! Happy day my friend, and I must ask you, WHERE did you get your laced tablecloth? I want one just like it! Blessings, Anita

    ReplyDelete
  68. Such a blessing, to have you alive & healthy after that second cancer scare & to also have your Mom still with you to celebrate! How wonderful!!!
    I love pink & green together, so this tablescape makes my ♥ sing. You did a beautiful job on every detail of it.

    I'm amazed at your energy, too, Linda...back to back dinner parties would have me flat in bed for a week. You GO GIRL!!!
    Loved the video of your clogging group. You shine, Honey& smiled the whole time, too!!!

    Stay Healthy Hugs,
    Rett

    p.s. I get all your posts via email & have read every one, but have just not been commenting on anybody's blogs lately. Two recent deaths of young people in our family had me quite down but your post today lifted my spirits greatly. Thanks!

  69. What a beautiful post, Linda! I love your pink and green tablescape. What a lovely treat for your Mom. Your property looks spectacular, as always.

    Your dancing made me smile and you look fantastic.
    Most of all, dear friend of mine, I'm so happy you are here, too! Getting to know you means growing to love your beautiful personality and it has been a gift. Love you lots, Wonder Woman. xoxo
