And a succulent arrangement is perfect for her to take to her office or place anywhere around the house! Molly Wood Garden Design has locations in Costa Mesa and Laguna Beach and they can create a completely custom succulent arrangement for mom.

mother's day out by the pool!

For this special Mother’s Day post, I want to share some of my favorite cut flowers to grow in the garden. This year, it’s all about vibrant blue, and I’m talking hydrangeas and delphiniums!

These two showy flowers are making a special appearance here at the table, but once the flowers start to fade in a few weeks they’ll be planted directly in the cottage garden!

Armstrong Garden always has the best selection of flowers and plants of all kinds!

In this new little pitcher, you can see this year’s cottage flowers, freshly harvested from the garden.

It includes a special Café au Lait Dahlia, which is just starting to bloom, my favorite little Nigellas, daisy-like Feverfew and a pop of bright red with Sweet Williams.

I also want to share a few new fun treasures…

All the blue glassware and the pretty pitcher holding the flowers are from Antique Farmhouse.

The lovely linen striped tablecloth is from All Cotton and Linen and the elegant Jolie Fleur napkins are from Solino Home.

Mother’s Day only comes ‘round once a year, so now’s the time to create something special with mom in mind.

Beautiful garden flowers and blue and white plates are the perfect jumping off point for setting the perfect Mother’s Day brunch table.

So, I today want to share them with all of you...

🌺 Happy Mother's Day!

I hope you’ll follow along with me on my NEW Instagram page for all the latest projects and décor I will be sharing in 2025.

lemons and ivy are always a great idea!

Just in time for Mother’s Day and summer are these new prints and patterns from Pacific & Rose in a happy palette of Lemons and Ivy!

Let’s start with the Lemon pattern, shall we?

One can’t help feel a sense of happiness with this new tablecloth and matching napkins. Accessorize with a few fresh lemons and flowers, and the look is complete!

Easy as lemon meringue pie, a table runner and matching lemon place mats instantly add loads of charm to your dining space, indoors or out!

Note the unique quality of all these table linens and accessories that are hand block-printed by artisans at the fair-trade workshop in Jaipur, India.

Just like the Lemon print, the new Ivy print is an instant classic! Here I’ve styled a table out in the backyard. It’s a cozy spot between the ivy wall of the house and a small apple tree.

And how about those pretty white snapdragons? I grew them myself this year in my cut flower bed along with these pretty blush colored Desdemona roses.

I added a little ivy from the wall to the table as a nod to this pretty pattern!

As soon as I saw this new Ivy pattern, I thought how lovely it would look with my vintage Franciscan Ivy plates.

Just like the ones Lucy & Ricky used for years on I Love Lucy!

What’s not to love?!

The Snowball Viburnum flowers are from my cottage garden, and easily arranged in a vintage white ironstone pitcher. I love how they look with the soft green tones of the pretty Ivy table runner.

Apron & matching Kitchen Towel

So besides setting a beautiful table for Mother’s Day, here’s what I’m really excited about! Here are several fun gift ideas for mom, grandma, mother-in-law, and these items are perfect for bridal shower gifts too!

sunday thoughts...

The countdown begins…

one week until Mother’s Day!

I already have beautiful thoughts of relaxing

alfresco in the garden with lots of roses, candles,

peace and quiet.

No cooking and cleaning for the day,

perhaps,

but lots of time spent with family.

I know my mom will enjoy this quiet scenery too.

This is a little preview of my version of

the perfect Mother’s Day table.

How do you like to spend Mother’s Day?

a year of romantic homes tablescapes

and cottages and bungalows too!

It’s just been over a year since my collaboration with Romantic Homes started. It all began with a “want ad” of sorts, looking for contributors for their website in something they called the “Romantics Program”.

My first submission was this vintage inspired table for 4^th of July and our collaboration continued with a couple of fall tablescapes and other fun stories on collecting and travel.

When I turned in my story and photos for Christmas, I was pleasantly surprised that they chose to publish it in their magazine instead! Wow! What a dream come true!

So that brings us to the very last issue of Romantic Homes in January of 2109, before it was officially retired. I was so honored that my New Year’s Eve table made this historic issue. So sad for us Romantic Homes fans, and bittersweet for sure!

The great news is that my collaboration continues with the sister magazine of Romantic Homes, Cottages & Bungalows. They even came to my home last December to photograph it for this year’s C&B Christmas issue.

I set two different tables for them, one in the dining room and one in the breakfast room, and they’re both soooo different. I can’t wait for you to see them!

The new year brought a Galentine’s Day tablescape and a Mother’s Day table that you can check out at Cottages & Bungalows. It also brought another magazine shoot last month which will feature two more tables, a beverage station and more!

Through every season and my absolute favorite holidays, here's a little peek at all the tablescapes from this past year...
