My Mom often recounted the story of how she and Daddy met back in the early 1950s. He was at work and saw her cruising past in her sleek powder blue convertible. It was love at first sight…for the car AND the lady driving it. Both of my parents are gone now, but I often think of that story. When I saw these fabulous powder blue ceramic vases at Cameron’s in downtown Lee’s Summit, MO, I knew my Mother’s Day table in Mom’s memory would have to include them along with her exquisite Royal Danish flatware. I miss you so much, Mom, and I think of you every. single. day.

Awwww….thank you! Hey, please let me know if you get this directly into your email. Things have changed on WordPress, and I’m not sure what’s going on exactly.🙄 It’s exasperating!😤 With you and Mom’s birthdays so close together it is no wonder you both like lemon meringue! Great minds think alike!!! Now…I know this is your first year without your Mom, and I can only wish the very best for you as you navigate it. I can’t even promise that it will get easier. All I can say is that I am so very sorry and that I hope you can keep focused on the good memories to see you through. That’s my plan of action! Take care, and thanks again so much!!! Don’t forget…let me know if you get this directly into your email box. Thanks!

Absolutely beautiful! You did a banner job with those napkins. The fabric looks to be very soft, which can often make folding, or rather keeping the fold, to be difficult; how charming that a dinner roll is tucked inside. Your mother would be so proud! You two ladies look so summery and beautiful here. The crystal just sparkles. The stack of plates is beautiful. I particularly like the one with the fancy edge and the hints of blue. I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again, you have outdone yourself!

Hi! Let me know if you receive this directly into your email box. They have changed everything on here, and I have no idea what in the heck is going on! And THANK YOU!!! Getting napkins to do right is the very bane of my existence. I had to scrap a fold just last night for a table I’m working on because the doggone things wouldn’t stay upright. That bishop’s hat fold. Ugh!😤

Hi Alycia
I just learned about your mom’s passing. I am so sorry. It is so nice of you to share the story about your parents, how they met. So sweet! I want to present you my sincere condolences. I did not know that you were still blogging since I did no longer receive anything from you. Your table is beautiful; this is a wonderful tribute to your mom. You were blessed with her presence for many years; think about that when you are feeling blue, pun not intended, I did not want to say sad. Think about all the memories you have created together, and think about who you are today because it’s all because of her.
