Mother’s Day Table Tribute: A Celebration of Special Women

 

This Mother’s Day, I’ve created a heartfelt table setting to honor the remarkable mothers who’ve touched my life.

At the heart of the display is a cherished 19th-century silver teapot from my late husband’s mother, repurposed as a vase. Its tarnished charm, which I’ve lovingly polished over the years, inspired the table’s color palette. I chose vibrant flowers to dictate the pink and green theme that runs throughout. 

 

The table features scalloped pink placemats from Solino Home (of the ruffled lavender napkins that I used here). I’m a huge fan of their linens and have quite the collection. 

The silver salt and pepper shakers, engraved with a “K” for my husband’s grandmother, Keogh, add a sentimental touch. Despite their age, they polish up beautifully, though not perfectly, which only adds to their character. 

The plate stack starts with weathered white scalloped chargers from Pier One, topped with violet plates from Tabletops Gallery. Next come Bordallo Pinheiro Majolica Green Geranium Leaf salad plates, and finally, Hartstone soup bowls from my mother’s decades-old luncheon set, proudly made in the USA.I used them previously here and here. Green check napkins from Pottery Barn tie the look together.

 

Crystal water glasses, a generous gift from my friend Kathy, are Mikasa’s “Parklane” pattern. Kathy, a devoted dog mom to Bentley, also passed along the International “Contessa” silverware, which graces this table.

 

To keep the pink theme, I’ve chosen pink coupe glasses for serving pink champagne.

For a touch of sparkle, I selected Victorian-style glass teacups and saucers.

 Antique crystal candlestick holders, a gift for our first married Christmas, add elegance, while new pink and green sherbet glasses promise to be summer staples.

Whether you’re a mother to children or furry companions, this Mother’s Day, treat yourself with love and care.
