Set an table in memory of my mother for mothers day as everyone did for their mother. Was feeling low & lonely as thoughts of her were crossing my mind. Few times my eyes welled remembering her saying. As children we would never give importance to their saying but as we grow old and able to realise now what she meant we understand and it brings tears. There are many small happy funny moments with my mother and remembering those moments brings in lot of happiness. The only feeling she is not here with me today and not able to serve her.
Read a line about mother daughter relationship....it says the relationship is one of the most pristine relationships...how true it is.
A Mother is a mother always and her life is woven around the children.
Set an Blue table for the day spreading a beautiful Blue rug of my recent buy. The designs on the rug looks so pretty and never had a second thought to use it. It's a light weight rug and it matched with my blue crockeries as well. The flowers are lotus flowers of pink and white. Lotus flowers are beautiful at this time of the year to use in decors. The flower also signifies the universal sign of love/purity together.
A question.....Do you use a pretty rug as a table spread??
In olden times carpets/rugs were so precious a status symbol that collectors used them as table covers rather on the floor and artfully draped them across the table's surface.
For special occasions one can consider having a rug/carpet as a spread which will give your table visual heft, dramatic presence and a certain sophisticated swagger when staging your dinner party.
Just beautiful!!! I've never seen lotus flowers before, or it we had then growing up in Hawaii, I just don't remember them. Lovely! I miss my mother, too... It's hard when we can't share with them anymore. My mother-in-law is still living and we went down to a local Costco for groceries yesterday. We hang out quite a bit since she moved to Texas a year ago. California just was too expensive anymore. :(
