A Mother' Day Celebration in Chocolate

What better way to celebrate 

Mother's Day than her most

feminine possessions made out of chocolate.

Our table, celebrating mothers everywhere,

features beautiful chocolate shoes, pretty in

pink, purple and chocolate, 

are set on top of pink and white dishes.

My mother loved her high heels and she taught

me to love them too, so our table features

beautiful chocolate heels that my son brought

back from Canada for me a couple of years ago.

She has been gone for 25 years now but I am

still influenced by the things that she loved.

Our Mother's Day table also features a

fabulous cheetah print chocolate purse, that

came from Home Goods.  When I saw it, I knew that 

it would be perfect with my shoes.

 These are all too pretty to eat, but so fun to look at!

When my son first saw these, he knew I would

love them, and he picked them all out for me. 

This fabulous purple one is just stunning with

its silver floral trim.

The table is with Kirk/Steiff

Maryland Engraved sterling that

my parents gave me as a wedding present.

A rosette tablecloth in white is the background

for the tablescape for Mother's Day.

I nestled the dinner fork with the napkin

inside a beaded napkin ring.

Mother wore high heels until the day she

died.  I know she would have loved blogging,

and she would have been fascinated by these shoes.

She loved beautiful dishes, and I believe she would

have thought tablescaping was a lot of fun, as she

was quite artistic and loved dishes.  I remember

shopping with her once at a beautiful home decor

place and she commented that she would love

to have all of the beautiful dishes.

How about this polka dot shoe?

My son definitely found me some treasures.

Pretty pink goblets finish out the placesetting.

These are new this year from Pier 1.

Mother loved roses too, and although it

is too early for the roses from my garden,

these script roses are lovely for the

centerpiece of the table.

To all  mothers - 

Have a wonderful Mother's Day.

Remember your mother this week,

whether she is still around or not, 

she is a great influence in your life.
