I hope all of you Moms had a very Happy Mothers Day! I did!
Shawn and I had our Mothers over for brunch and he made us all Swedish pancakes as the main course, a favorite from his childhood and now one of our family favorites - and now also making me hungry for some just by thinking about them.
I set the table with this set of 8 Royal Cauldon Purple Transferware Pansy Plates that I recently got in and had been saving just for Mothers Day. Sometimes when I get a set of plates or dishes in, I like to use them once or twice before putting them for sale in my Etsy shop. These plates are hand painted with a scalloped, embossed border....perfect for Spring and early Summer.
I used a purple, gold and brown paisley shawl as a table runner
The lavender pressed glass tumblers and gold and green Mexican goblets bring out the colors of the plates.
One of my sponsors sent these napkin rings to me a couple of years ago. I haven't used them very often but the yellow butterflies and purple, green and yellow berries were perfect for the table.
I mixed silk pansies with berries and wildflowers and put them in a bamboo handled basket for a super simple centerpiece.
As a Mom, one of the things I'm thankful for is a good sense of humor. I really don't know how people can get through life without laughing at it...I couldn't. Fortunately my kids and hubby have great senses of humor and I completely appreciate and love that about them all. This is one of the cards I got from the kids.
Have a great week!
I love, LOVE this! Pansies are one of my many favoties; love the napkins rings!!! So pretty!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful table, Nancy! The luncheon plates are so pretty for this time of year. I have some Royal Cauldon with the same wonderful rims...I haven't done a table with them, yet. I also have the same tumblers.
ReplyDeleteThe table runner is gorgeous and such a nice addition to your table.
Have a wonderful week...
These are beautiful dishes Nancy! I wouldn't have thought of this being transferware. Hope you had a lovely Mother's Day!

ReplyDeleteNancy, these are gorgeous plates!! Oh my. I am such a pansy nut and these would certainly make me feel as happy as their pretty faces! Love your centerpiece. This is such a pretty room and tablesetting. I'm sure that everyone really enjoyed themselves because of the beautiful setting you provided! xo marlis
ReplyDeleteLOVE the card!!! My Mom and I have a sense of humor that gets traded back and forth like that...more me than her because I'm a bratty little kid! :-)
ReplyDeleteLOVE the pansy dishes!!! They remind me of that Marjolein Bastin whose stuff I so admire. The RIMS of the plates are just incredible!!!
I hope all is well in your world! Have a happy weekend!
Those plates are to die for!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Nancy. I love pansy plants with their sweet little faces. It's great to have a sense of humor, especially with a large family. ;-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful table for Mother's Day, Nancy! I love those plates, and the way you arranged your table is just lovely. I'm sorry to be so late with this comment... I don't have internet in the summer. But I'm looking forward to catching up with your wonderful posts and being a more frequent visitor!
