Mothers Day Tablescape and the Missing China

Thanks for stopping by to see my Mother's Day Tablescape. Take a look then I'll give you some details.

I'm using china that I have had for over 40 years but have never shared in a tablescape with you. 

Here's why I have never shared them - I couldn't find them. 

Yes, I have been looking for them since we moved to our house in Missouri almost nine years ago. 

I couple of months ago, I kept telling my husband our wedding china must be in the storage room in some big box. My hunt began and I could find no box marked "wedding china" but while searching in a box marked "Christmas Dishes" low and behold, I found my wedding dishes. Sure enough, there was one layer of Christmas dishes but I dug a little deeper and there were the wedding dishes just waiting for me to find them. 

The pattern is Blue Fantasy by Royal Court with blue roses and gray and green leaves. Each piece has a platinum rim; I know we don't see blue roses too much these days but I love the elegance of the pattern.

I must admit something to you! I didn't even pick the china out when I got married 42 years ago. I know that sounds strange since you know my love for dishes now. They were a gift from my grandmother. 

I'm using my Daffodil pattern silverplate that I have shown you before.  It was a gift to Mom from Dad; Dad was sweet enough to pass it on to me when Mom passed away. Here's a picture of my Mom when she was about 18 years old.

I think I get my love of tablescapes from Mom; she always had a beautiful table on Sundays, special events and every holiday. 

The stemware is Waterford Crystal - Sparkle. 

My centerpiece is one that I shared recently. It debuted on my mantel here then moved to my table here. 

Thanks for stopping by to share my Mother's Day tablescape. I hope you will be enjoying Mother's Day with your family and friends - Judy.
