Mother's Day Challenge
Let's Dish @ Cuisine Kathleen
~ A tribute to my mom for Mother's Day ~
My mother was an avid gardener until
she moved out of her home at age 90.
Now 97, she no longer gardens,
but she still loves beautiful flowers.
She also loves sweets,
especially chocolate ice cream
and rich pound cake.
In honor of my mother,
I set a tray with her favorite things
and pretended we were having an afternoon
treat in the garden. I filled some of her beautiful
and pretended we were having an afternoon
treat in the garden. I filled some of her beautiful
glass baskets with springtime blooms.
I fondly remember these beautiful
glass basket vases from my childhood.
They are treasures that my mom passed on to me.
These elegant etched glass baskets
were made in the 1920s and 1930s.
They are perfect for springtime bouquets!
I've set the tray with
my mom's wedding china,
Homer Laughlin's
Virginia Rose - Jeanette Gold.
This china was made in 1939.
Virginia Rose was a very popular
shape with many different designs.
My mom chose Jeanette's Gold
with delicate pink flowers and gold details.

Each piece has double
gold bands on the outside rim.
These pretty linen napkins
were one of my wedding gifts in 1975.
Mother of Pearl vintage flatware seemed
the perfect choice for this dessert tray.
Pretty and elegant ~ just like my mom.
Won't you join us for a scoop of ice cream?
Happy Mother's Day!
