Kathleen, I saw VG's Mother's Day table and think it is really pretty. She always has pretty table settings. I love her black and white especially.
If a table is set around here for Mother's Day it will be done by DH or DS. DH is cooking on the grill so I may ask DS to use his imagination. LOL

None here...we're going out for Japanese on Sunday!

I went to see VG's table too. She has a real knack for putting things together so they always look really pretty. Thanks for telling us to look for it.

Son says would like to take me and his MIL to lunch tomorrow to avoid the crowds on Sunday. Sounds fine to me.

We had dinner Sat night, and the table can't be too fussy with 3 gkids joining us.

And these are my flowering crabapples that bloomed for Mother's Day. I have 4 of them, and they bloom for such a short time.

Kathleen, your table looks just perfect, so soft and inviting. Love those little white watering can napkin rings.

The flowering crabapple trees are gorgeous. I've never had one of those, but I did have some crepe myrtle trees at my last house. Thought they were so pretty, but very messy.

Kathleen, Your pink and white table is very lovely. And I love both floral arrangements. And your watering can napkin rings are so cute. I think you set a very elegant table considering you had 3 small children eating there.
Your flowering crabapples trees are beautiful. I have always thought they were so pretty even if their bloom time is so short.

Kathleen, your table is very pretty. I love the nice soft pink colors with the white dishes. Your flowers are so pretty too. BTW, I thought of you today and when we went shopping, I took along my camera in hopes of getting a picture of the bike at the florist shop....but it wasn't there, too early I imagine. We had frost last night. But I'll keep watching for it. :)

I meant to say too that your watering can napkin rings are just the cutest things! How nice for spring and summer use!

Also forgot to ask.... who is VG?

VictorianGirl is a poster on www.hometalkentertainment.com. Go to Interior design forum. She posts every Mon what she bought the previous week. She had a very pretty table for Mom's Day and you could go back to see her Easter table too.
And Mary, thank you for trying to get a pic for me. That was very thoughtful of you!
And thanks, Luvs, Sandi and Mary. It had to be simple, in 5 min it looked like a war zone. I got the watering cans a few years ago in that store we had in town that I have spoke so often about...Dansk. They had great stuff, wonderful sales, and freq generous coupons!

I have been reading some of the posts on that site. She does a great job of table setting. I'll be going back to check more! Thanks.

About your gorgeous carrot cake.... what size tip did you use for the frosting and do you have a favorite recipe that you would share? I like the name "Dishnut" lol!

Kathleen,

My DD took me shopping and out to dine, so no tablesetting for me.

I love your pink and white table! And being a gardener, I really love the trees too!

Victoriangirl does beautiful tables, and she has a lovely home too, she is very talented.

Thanks, Judith. As the nuns used to tell us, simplicity is a form of beauty. And this table had to be simple!

Kathleen, that is such a lovely table. I will now have to publicly admit, I have become a PINKY. That shade you used is just too beautiful to resist.
And the trees, WOW.

Karen

Oh, Karen, you have come over from the dark side! LOL.Thank you...I wait for those trees to bloom every year. Now if only the azaleas and rhodies would bloom at the sameae time, what a display that would be.
Hope you are feeling better, Karen, and that you had a good Mother's Day!

Hey, Karen, you know a pink table would look lovely with your living/dining room paint color. Nice contrast would make it so pretty. Luvs
