Welcome to Red Couch Recipes and to my Mother's Day Table.
My mother used to have a set of transferware; I think it was blue willow. My transferware is Brook Pink by Churchill.
Here I have added a little hobnail bowl.
My centerpiece is a threesome of little plants in red pots. My mother loved plants.
I set the table out on our deck. My mother loved the outdoors so it is fitting that the Mother's Day table is set on the deck. She loved feeding and watching the birds. There were two pairs on binoculars, for bird watching, in our home. One in the front and one in the back -- she didn't want to miss a bird.
I am not sure what my mother's favorite color was, but I know that she liked bright vibrant colors. She would have liked this table; I set it in red as it is my favorite color.
Another view of the plants. There are two geraniums and a lemon thyme. I have never had a lemon thyme plant before; their scent is so seductive.
Just another happy little view.
A napkin view. I have used the Style Sisters napkin rings very frequently on my tables.
Dearest Mother (we always called her Mother). You have been so missed these past 21 years though I know you are looking over us. I often wonder what could have been if you were here.
So to all mothers who have loved, sacrificed, worried, worked, laughed, nurtured, and sorrowed, I wish you a Happy Mother's Day.
