BACK WITH A PICK YOUR FAVORITE- MOTHER'S DAY TABLE

I bet you thought I was 
telling a lie when I said I would be back,
didn't you?
You thought I was going to go away
permanently.
You were WRONG!
I am like the proverbial
'bad penny' 
that just keeps turning up.

Soon I will share what 
I have been up to--
but today I though it would be fun
to start off with a
PICK YOUR FAVORITE!

Mother's Day is coming-
Let's set a pretty table.
Pick ONE TABLE...
GOT IT?
(she said ever so nicely)

Here we go:
TABLE #1
GREAT BALLS OF FLOWERS

TABLE #2
WHITE ON WHITE

TABLE #3
FADED PASTELS

TABLE #4
A PUNCH OF COLOR

TABLE #5
WHISPER OF VIOLET

TABLE #6
WINE & DINE

TABLE #7
JUST A LITTLE BLUE

TABLE #8
PINKLY PRETTY
So- There you have it.
Make your pick and I will be back
with your votes all tallied.

I have missed blogging
and all of you!!
I will be around to visit!

    Well..For it me has to be....
    TABLE ONE....
    ~~GREAT BALLS OF FLOWERS~~

    Reminds me...
    Great Balls of Flowers is contemporary American
    literature in the tradition of Whitman and
    Ted Berrigan, the Beats and Frank O'Hara.....!

    Is that it...??? HeHe!
    I put a joke on R's Post this morning...
    "What did the bra say to the hat"?
    "You go on a head, l'll give these two a lift". :).

    My choice is Table #8: Pinkly Pretty. It was hard to choice between that and Table #7 Just a little blue, they both appealed to me, but Pink won over.

    I choose #4. I like it because it is the least cluttered looking of all of them. I might put my elbows on the table and knock stuff off all the others.

    Oh I'm so happy your cheery and pretty self is back with us.
    While I love all your choices I prefer the all white #2, specially because of the beautiful shape of the plates. The flowers are simply gorgeous too.
    Lots of inspiration here. I will pin this post.
    Thanks for sharing. Hope all is great with you dear friend.
    My mom is a lot better and I have good hired help, so it's a relief for me. Plus I'm going to be a grandma again from daughter Alexandra, who's got 3 year old Maxima and now she'll have a little sister, she is so lucky.

    HI!!!!! Welcome Back! Missed you. Now....I want table #7 but I would also like to be able to hop around and visit. I like #4 for the interesting looking colorful drinks, then of course the wine and dine one for the WINE, of course! haha. I am sure I can find friends over at the calm looking #7 and the faded pastels look great. Just SAVE me a seat at all of them! haha

    They are ALL SO PRETTY!, but it's an easy choice for me this time!!--on table Number One, it looks to have a big white fluffy COCONUT CAKE, and I'm not going to pass that by, no sireeBob!! ha ha LOL Not sure who else will be at that table, but hopefully some old friends, and let's make some new friends too. As always, I'll be toting along my trusty crystal ball, hopefully I don't drop it and break anybody's toe, LOL!! I usually bring along a few jugs of SWEET TEA!--this time I'm going to do something different and bring ice cold lemonade. I adore coconut cake, and I'll bring along some of that divine carribean coconut gelato stuff to serve with it. I just discovered that stuff this past winter and oh my, it's SO YUMMY. I have glow in the dark necklaces and bracelets for everyone for after the sun goes down, and twenty five dozen sets of sparklers so we can light 'em up and swoooooosh and pop and fizzle, just like when we were little kids. Can someone please bring a lighter? LOL
