I decided to use the crown dishes, so my Mom and her friend would feel extra special. Royal treatment.
Using my trusty pillow case trick. I use them to cover the red chairs, so my theme is carried through.
White pintuck tablecloth from Linentablecloth with crisp white napkins. Godinger Dublin crystal glasses with crystal salt and pepper shakers. The crown dishware is from, FansticDecor
I bought fresh creamy white flowers that sit in the crown vase. The napkin rings are also crowns. Cream flatware from Horchow.
I served creamy Potato soup with a fresh mango, blueberry salad with raspberry dressing, feta cheese. and candied pecans. Dessert was the three berry trifle.
We had a great visit. We talked about creating cute crafts. My Mom crochets and knits, so I envy her talent. She keeps herself quite busy.
Happy Sunday.

Linda, your mom and her friend must have felt so special at your beautiful table. Lovely menu! My mom crocheted and I really never mastered it. Lol
ReplyDeleteFirst of all you know lucky I think you are and vice versa..
ReplyDeleteI love the chairs in white and this whole pretty in whites setting.
She must have glowed..and her friend too;)
Sweet!
How sweet of you to do this for your Mom and her friend. I am sure they felt sp special and pampered! Just like royalty! The menu sounds delicious!!! Have a beautiful weekend!
ReplyDeleteYOU ARE BRILLIANT. Pillow cases? WHY OF COURSE! That is the slickest way to make a last minute décor change, Linda! All white with the crown plates...this is super special. I just bought a vintage Cinderella carriage lamp; I took out the cord and now it can sit in the center of a table, with a small candle inside. I just may make a royal dinner and have my carriage in the center! Oh you sparked an idea!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your Sunday! Anita
Linda, I know your mom and her friend felt like royalty. What a thoughtful daughter. It's all lovely and your menu delicious.
ReplyDeleteThe crown dishware is beautiful Linda, how special for your mom and her friend.
ReplyDeleteSooooo elegant, Linda! They had to feel so very special to be treated to this luxurious table. Just Beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday belatedly to your sweet mother. I am sure she was thrilled with your efforts. I wish it would cool off here enough to make your soup! I will save it and try it in a couple of months.
ReplyDeleteLinda,
ReplyDeleteThis is so lovely, special and thoughtful. Your table setting is truly inspiring and I love the white. I just know your Mom and her friend had to feel so very special and loved.
Thank you for sharing this recipe-with this list of ingredients I know it is loaded with flavor. Perfect time for potato soup as the potatoes will be so fresh as it is harvest time!

Stunning! I love the whites. Again you have done your clever and beautiful covers for the chairs. I need to start doing that. The plates are gorgeous! I love love the napkin rings and how you placed the napkins in them. Your gorgeous white flowers are perfection. I enjoyed seeing this post.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure your mom and her friend loved the royal treatment that you gave them, Linda. Your table looks so pretty with the shabby chic theme. Thanks for sharing your creamy potato soup recipe!
ReplyDeleteHappy Labor Day!
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! The crown dishes are beautiful. ♥ the napkin rings.
ReplyDeleteI am sure your guests felt very special sitting at this table, Linda.
Have a great week.
Just beautiful! I found you over at Table it Link Party. I love the tablecloth! Does it make it difficult for glasses to stand without tipping over? This is an elegant table, just beautiful for special guests. I would love it if you would stop by my link party, Celebrate it Sunday! You can link up anytime until Friday.
ReplyDeleteThe Crown dishes are to die for Linda! Your table for your mother and friend is stunning!
ReplyDeleteSo elegant, crispy white and feminine. Love the topper too!
Have a wonderful week ahead my friend.

What a stunning table Linda. I can only hope that my daughter thinks to cater for me in such grand style when she's older! At 15, she's not quite getting the hint yet....lol! Please come and share at Five Star Frugal? We love a grand tablescape! Love, Mimi xxx

Such a beautiful tablescape and lovely menu---I know your mom appreciated this as well as her friend. Bravo to you for creating a memorable time! And that's a talent indeed!
ReplyDeleteJane x
How thoughtful. ♥
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful luncheon and such a special way to show your love for your mother! She must still be basking in the glow from the special way she and her friend was treated!
ReplyDeleteThank you, too, for the recipe!
Ooooh, how incredibly gorgeous, Linda! I agree, the ladies must have felt like royalty :) Truly stunning, my friend. Hugs!
ReplyDeletePillowcases! You clever girl. I adore the tablecloth as well. I hope you have a happy Labor Day holiday and wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful luxurious look Linda! You create such lovely tables we just want to pull up a chair and join the dinner party!! I could easily be a plate addict and your crown plates sure are amazing. I just scored a small set of Staffordshire red & white transferware at an incredible price from a "Re-tail" shop in my old hometown. The proceeds go to an animal shelter. I don't think I can cram any more dishes in the cupboard, sadly. You are the dish queen and your guests have to feel so pampered to dine at your home. Thanks so much for stopping by to share my dream trip to Paris. I just posted on the Arc de Triomphe. Stop by when you have time. Blessings always, Edie Marie
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty table setting. Your mom and friend must have been thrilled to see this. How nice that your mom crochets and knits. I've always thought that was such a talent. I really like the plates with the crowns, and the table cloth is so soft and pretty. The creamy potato soup sounds delicious. Everything looks really nice, Linda. That's special that you did this for your mom.
ReplyDeletelove, ~Sheri
Linda! What a sweet thing to do for your mom and her friend. You do such a beautiful job on all your tables...but I LOVE this one. It is elegant and "rich" looking. GREAT job. Love potato soup, too. Happy Labor Day to you- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteBeautiful table! I am so in love with those dishes and that flatware from Horchow! Hope you and your mom had a wonderful visit :-)
ReplyDeleteBest Daughter EVER!

ReplyDeleteHave a great week. Hugs,cm
Hi there, Linda

Hi Linda,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, they definitely got the royal treatment......and am sure they appreciated and
enjoyed every minute of it. I think a beautiful table does make people feel special, at
least it does for me, cause I know how much work goes into it..........
I have one salad plate like yours in cream. that I use for dessert for the special person who has a birthday or special event being celebrated and I have a lil crown tealight holder that I use to top the dessert. Now I am never without birthday candles. lol
Thanks for sharing your lovely table with us,
Blessings, Nellie
I just love this, Linda. White on white makes for such a special setting and you've done it beautifully! Your dinnerware if gorgeous and I love that you took the pics at the table level - it really makes an impact!
ReplyDeleteI really wish we were neighbours because we'd have so much fun cooking and entertaining together! Hope your Fall is off to a good start, my sweet friend. Lots of love to you. xoxo
Certainly the royal treatment! You are so fun!
ReplyDeleteMy crown dishes are my absolute favorite of all of my dishes. I have 24 of each, so they are the stars for the big parties!
Love everything in white and cream. Truly elegant!
What a pretty table- royal and feminine! The dishes are so pretty and I love the way you presented the napkins and napkin rings! The soup sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous table. I love the royal dishes.
ReplyDeleteStill loving those dishes, but my wallet doesn't. LOL Loving your napkin trick with letting come out the sides, might have to try that one.
ReplyDeleteYour creme and white table is so pretty! I love how you used the crown napkin rings and the potato soup recipe looks delicious.
