This is my wish for you ALL!!!!!
My 90 year old mother came for her winter visit last week and this is the table I set to welcome her to Atlanta. I haven't posted until today, because she has kept me BUSY! She had shopping to do and that took days. Nothing like pushing a wheelchair through every Atlanta mall the week before Christmas. I say that with a wink, because the truth is, I am very honored to have her here and we both adore her.
This greeted her.
You might guess from the name of my blog that I love toile and this plate made me think of a simple red toile. It is even called Holiday Toile. I used this with a red charger over a red and white stripped ticking runner.
And between the two, I used these simple French dinner plates made by Circa.
Red handled flatware, a red napkin, and a white wicker napkin ring are no-brainers to go with this table.
Simple white salt and peppers, and a white French butter dish let the plates remain the star. These red glass bread and butter plates are from Walmart, I think.
Vintage red stems and a Reidel stemless wineglass finish off the placesetting.
This faux bois chachepot filled with greens and red poinsettias do the trick for a centerpiece. I had just used this for a luncheon for my bridge buddies. You can see this luncheon here.
Welcome, Mom!!! We are so blessed to have you here.
