With Mother's Day this Sunday
it was about time to put away Easter
and pay tribute to all the Mothers in our lives.
My hall sideboard is my favorite to decorate
because each month it is wiped clean
and I start from "scratch".
This area is hard to photo
since there is no direct lighting,
and the stairway is immediately in front.
(think...hanging from a chandelier)
But it is one of my favorites to view
because I see it from my kitchen.
So, like the sunroom, it's changed up frequently.
I have a collection of Mother's Day framed verses,
(yes, I know, another collection)
but most special are my prints
from the artist Mary Gold,
which signed her work "marygold".
Roses, flower bouquets, ironstone, and old linens,
bring the nostalgia of Mother's Day past to life.
This little lady reminds me of the print.
Broken but not discarded...
like so many of us,
we find a place of joy and redemption
with our children.
I'll be sharing more of this wonderful
vintage flower album later.
And if you look closely
your will see the word "Mother"
embroidered on this lovely linen towel.
I'll leave you with this passage from Proverbs.
Proverbs 31:25-30
25. Strength and dignity are her clothing, And she smiles at the future. 26. She opens her mouth in wisdom, And the teaching of kindness is on her tongue. 27. She looks well to the ways of her household, And does not eat the bread of idleness. 28. Her children rise up and bless her; Her husband [also], and he praises her, [saying]: 29. "Many daughters have done nobly, But you excel them all." 30. Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain, [But] a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised.

What a lovely post for Mother's Day, Debra! Such a lovely setting you have, too--such a perfect tribute to motherhood! I LOVE that vintage framed poem--absolutely beautiful! How lucky you are to have that!
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a wonderful day!
Hi Debra,
ReplyDeleteI just can't say enough about your sideboard and all the loveliness that it possesses. The vintage flower print book is a real treasure and so are your vintage cards and the little pitchers. It's all lovely.
I'm excited about the Seed Box. I just loved the tour and post that you did on their sweet cottage. Can't wait to see it.
hugs

Your sideboard is beautiful & your Mother's day vignette is charming Debra!
ReplyDeleteYour vignettes are always wonderful, and this one is not exception!
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful. I love your banner and the botanical album! I also love that you change your hall every month. Congrats on the new blog. Can't wait to see. I love garden antiques and enjoyed your previous posts on the Seed Box. Jacqueline
ReplyDeleteLovely photos and I love what you said about the little lady figurine..."broken, but not discarded, like so many of us". That's just the way our Lord sees us, isn't it? Lovely!!
ReplyDeleteThe vignette on your sideboard is precious! I have a book of wildflowers, much like yours. We did them as a biology project sophomore year. Stop by and enter my giveaway if you have a chance!

What lovely Mother's Day verses you have. I found one at a garage sale one year and gave it to my Mom. Very pretty vignette.
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a wonderful week.

I love your photos--and loved seeing the Marygold print--I collect her prints and have way too many! :-) You don't see her pictures around alot anymore. I sent some photos to a lady in England who was putting together a book on Marygold's work, but never heard what became of it. Anyway, love your blog!
ReplyDeleteDebra, what a beautifull post
ReplyDeleteI so love your print, and beautifull card, and the flower album, is gorgeus.Thanks for showing, dear.
Hugs, Dorthe

ReplyDeleteYour welcoming display is so pretty and charming. I love the broken lady, I so relate to that. We all have our "cracks" but the Lord loves us as though we were whole.
