Mother’s Day

I had such a lovely Mother’s Day. I had coffee with my Mum at my sister’s coffee shop on Sunday morning. We live 80 kms away from my Mum and I hadn’t expected to see her but Mr FH had a bit of a drama on Friday night and lost the crown off his front tooth so it was a quick trip to the dentist on Sunday morning. Yes, we do know our dentist well!! LOL We then went to a local game of football where we met up with DNo2 and her cute little girls. We spent the afternoon with them and some good friends of ours. SNo 1 drove from the city and met us for dinner at our local pub and he is staying with us for a few days. I love having him home to stay!! I had stayed with DNo 1 and her husband and boys on Thursday and Friday so I’d had an early catch up with them. All around it was a lovely day. I received some lovely flowers, chocolates, hand cream and body scrub from my beautiful kids. I went to bed last night feeling happy and grateful.



Hope you all had a lovely day with your loved ones.

Suzy

Mother’s Day

I don’t think I ever really appreciated my mum until I was a mum myself. I certainly never realised how hard she worked, how much she gave up and just how much she did for me but most of all how much she loved me. I am thankful for her love and guidance every day and Mother’s Day is the perfect time to show just how much she means to me….. A table set for two seemed just perfect. I don’t think I will see any of my kids on Mother’s Day (I have spent a lot of time with them lately) but I’m sure they will be thinking of me…I hope so anyway!! LOL
I started out thinking that pansies would be just right for this table but by the time I finished there was not a pansy in sight. How does this happen??? I did stick with the purple theme though but decided to team it with pale blue for a different look.

Lunch on Mother's Day

This week I have set a pretty little Mother's Day table.

I love this cute wire cake stand - I was going to use the cover too but the flowers were just a little too high.

I saw these cute coffee mugs in a shop last week and as they were 'my' colours I just had to have them!!

I thought they made a great start to my Mother's Day table. 

I already had the lovely cupcake plates so I layered them with some blue and white dinner plates.

I used two different sets of flatware - one pink and one blue.

For the napkins I decided to use craft fabric in different colours. I had a bag of blue toned fabrics given to me by a very dear old friend ages ago so dived in there and found four pretty pieces. I also was lucky enough to find a conpleted patchwork square my friend had sewn but not used so I used this for my centrepiece.

I'm joining all the wonderful tea parties around blogland on Tuesday so hope you all enjoy the many Mother's Day tables.

Blue Plumbago

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

Wishing all the mothers around blogland a wonderful day!!

Yesterday when I was returning from my daily walk I aproached our house from a different direction and could not believe how pretty my garden was from the other side!!!

I have two plumbagos flowering at the moment - one is slightly darker than the other - and they were so beautiful just spilling over the fence.

I just love pink, blue and mauve flowers in my garden. Even though yellow really gives the garden a lift I usually only have a soft buttercup yellow which really looks beautiful with mauves and purples.

This plant is about 6ft high - it looks like a wave of beautiful blue water cascading down.

The weather was just perfect yesterday. With mild temps, a gentle breeze and lots of sunshine it was beautiful gardening weather - such a shame I too many other things I had to do.

I have picked you a basket of flowers to enjoy!

I have a Mother's Day tablescape to show you tomorrow - have a lovely day...

I'm joining Mosaic Monday - come and see the beautiful mosaics.
