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.

Absolutely stunning and heartwarming ❤️ 💕
I love this color combo and this looks truly peaceful and beautiful. I hope you have a very happy Mother's Day. I will enjoy mine at work. Not to be worrying - I will pack myself a delish lunch and a treat!
You inspired me to set the table with the best I have!
What a lovely color scheme. Love the silver touches and the history behind them. The pink and green sherbet glasses are beautiful; also I love the soup bowl pattern.
I love the pretty mix of colors and your wonderful centerpiece. Using beautiful tablewares is a lovely tribute anytime, but especially for Mother's Day. Enjoy!
