Mother's Day Gift Ideas

Thinking of Mother's Day Gift Giving always makes me think of home.
I think gift giving for Mom should be something thoughtful and timeless.
Something that can keep on giving or maybe just that perfect sweet treat,
that Mom doesn't have to make herself.
I selected five Mother's Day Gift Ideas from Williams Sonoma that I think
capture the simple sweetness of Mother's Day.












What are you getting your Mom for Mother's Day?
What's on your wish list for Mother's Day?

Mother's Day Centerpiece


A Mother's Day Centerpiece.

Are you entertaining guests for Mother's Day?
I thought I would share how I took my simple Spring Centerpiece,
to a perfect casual centerpiece for a Mother's Day brunch, lunch or casual dinner.

First I filled my white pitcher overflowing with these fresh green Snowball Viburnum.
 I added a smaller container & filled them with a pop of purple from the clematis from the trellis.
For a casual get together I like to place stacked plates for easy access right in the center of the table.
I think it sets the tone for your guests that it is intended to be a casual occassion.
The silverware I placed in a third small pitcher.


I think this table setting makes for a casual comfortable environment when guests arrive.
It also saves you a little time as the host.
When the meal is ready, you don't have to spend time setting the table or getting out the dinnerware.
White dishes are a must have for me.
I love white serveware, dishes, pitchers, platters...you name it.
You can never have too much white serveware in my opinion.
White is a staple you can use in a casual or formal setting
The best part about this table setting is I did it all without spending a penny.
By using the basic essential dinnerware I had & basic white pitchers
all that was left was taking time to cut some fresh flowers from the garden.
Once that was done a few more minutes arranging the pitchers & done.
Simple. Casual. Beautiful.
What are your Mother's Day plans?
