Late Mother's Day Luncheon Tablescape

Pat did manage to get a table together for Mother's Day this week even though it has been a truly hectic and wildly busy time. Sorry it's a little late.....Our Mother's name was "Rose" so Pat always likes to feature roses on the table. Here's what she came up with:

Pat picked my two favorite Fiesta(ware) colors to feature on the table: "Rose" and "Sea Mist". Sadly, neither color is still produced.

The place setting seemed a little "flat" to Pat so she "elevated" it by the napkin fold.

Place Mats - "Hemlock" colored tablecloth/napkins fashioned into place mats from Linentablecloth.com
