April Showers Bring May Flowers

These boots were not made for walking ....... instead they hold some of the
bumper crop of roses from my garden.  I am linking to
Between Naps On The Porch for Susan's weekly Tablescape Thursday.


Here's a table that works for Mothers' Day or any other
celebration of Spring and the renewal of Mother Nature's beauty.
It all started early in the morning picking roses in the garden.



Spring colors of Fiesta and polka dots from Pier 1 join the party,
along with stemware from Macy's, napkins and flatware from Home Goods.




















































And it all ended in the early evening with roses and candlelight.




Happy Mothers' Day and welcome Spring!
