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!
Oh it’s good to see you back! I’m going to pick number two but I want violets on the table, you didn’t mention rules , lol,😘
ReplyDelete#2 White on White...seems so calming and I need calming I guess.
ReplyDeleteWell..For it me has to be....
ReplyDeleteTABLE 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". :).
#1 -- those balloons are fabulous!
ReplyDeleteNo way to #8...bird's nests? How unsanitary! ;-)
You are not making this easy with those beautiful choices, but I think it has to be #5. I can't resist purple flowers. -Jenn
ReplyDeleteAll of these settings are gorgeous and I have narrowed my choice down to do. Have to go with table 5 because I love violet. Welcome back.
ReplyDeleteJust one??? But I love them all! Okay, I will choose #4. I am a Georgia Peach after all!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back! I think I will take a seat at Table #3 Faded Pastels. Who will join me, can't wait to see! Enjoy your day dear friend, HUGS!
ReplyDeleteI’m torn between table 2 and 6! What to do...toss a coin.... ok it’s number.....6!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back by the way!
I'll choose #7; always have loved blue! Glad to catch you here on one of my very rare visits! - xoxo Nellie
ReplyDeleteMy 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.
ReplyDelete...fancy, fancy, fancy!
ReplyDelete#3 Faded Pink....ahhh! I love it! And since my roses are all in full bloom, I'll bring some extra rose petals! Can't wait to hear about your trip! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteHow fun Diana...I would choose to sit at Table 2...white on white...letting the food be the star of the table!
ReplyDeleteYAY! I absolutely adore the faded pastels table. The rose plates won me over! (But I'd appreciate a glass of wine from the wine table, thank you!) Love you always.
ReplyDeleteI tried to ring in early but I see the tables are already getting filled.!
ReplyDeleteI want to sit at table #4. The punch of color makes me think of Summer picnics.
Umm...Save me one of those drinks too.
Lisa
PS: Don’t sit me beside Jetti
ReplyDeleteTable number two is beautiful, but I choose table number one please, because I want a piece of that cake!
ReplyDeleteSherry & I like #2.
ReplyDeleteSherry & jack with a beautiful day here in North Carolina
PS: We just knew you would be back!!!
ReplyDeleteNo. 8...I love pink and white for such a glorious occasion!! Please have a cold pitcher of Peach Mimosas so we can do a proper toast to Motherhood ������
ReplyDeleteHooray, you're back! Please put me at Table #1 please -- Great Balls of Flowers!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back dear friend. Table #1 for me!
ReplyDeleteTable one for me, please! I love those lanterns!
ReplyDeleteNumber two, so clean and uncluttered. What is on the menu? that will also affect choices.
ReplyDeleteNonie
Welcome back, Diana!! I'll take Table; #3, please ~ such soothing colors! But I'd like some of that wine, please ~
ReplyDeleteGood to see you back! I'm all about the Pink and the Wine but I pick #3 Faded Pastels for its sweet beauty.
ReplyDeleteAh....definitely "white on white"....it's where my heart is...it's calm and peaceful....

#1! It feels like a fun party!! Count me in!
ReplyDeleteTable 2..... White on White!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back, Diana!
ReplyDeleteOh 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.
Big hugs,
Fabby
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
ReplyDeleteHi Diana! #8 for me, although, #3 was next! This is always fun.
ReplyDeleteSince I am a country girl,will take Number l. Trust all is well with you and family.
ReplyDeleteTable 4, please. I'm not in the mood for fussy and Table 4 looks casual and sweet. Welcome back!! Missed you here!
ReplyDeletePinky Pretty..... please?? Thank you!
ReplyDeleteTable number 2 please. Love the flowers at that table, the big window, and mostly the seats look padded! Good to see you blog again. Patty McDonald
ReplyDeleteWell I'm skipping white on white because I plan on snitching a bottle from wine and dine to share with all the girls at just a little blue.
ReplyDeleteI meant to add that I wouldn't want to spill the wine on the white tablecloth .
ReplyDeleteWelcome back, and hope you had a good break.
ReplyDeleteIt's Pinkly Pink Number 8 for me please.
All the best Jan
Welcome back to blogging Dinana. I love all of those pretty tables for Mothers Day but I want to sit at TABLE #8.
ReplyDeleteTable #2 so elegant..#7 comes in second..a little more casual..You are my favorite bad penny..Are you back for good or is this just a tease??
ReplyDeleteMake that #7..the white dishes don't match!!! LOLHave a good week!!
I know you probably think I would go for the white on white I actually like the first table. It looks like lots of fun can be had at that table. Love the flowered balls hanging. Hope all is well.
ReplyDeleteBig hugs,
Kris
I feel a connection to table #6,,,,but they all are beautiful
ReplyDeleteWelcome back! Hard, so hard....but I choose #2 :)
ReplyDeleteWelcome back, girlie! :) Well, you KNOW what my fav is going to be, don't you? Lol! Give me the Punch of Color! It looks so fresh, happy, and tropical. Right up my alley. *wink*
ReplyDeleteLuv ya, doll!
xo Laurie
Well I was going to pick #6 Wine and Dine because well, wine. But I have to go with #7 in memory of my mother (it's for Mother's Day after all). Blue was her favorite color. I think I'll bring my own bottle of wine though, lol. She'd approve!
ReplyDeletehugs, Cecilia
This time it was especially hard to pick just one table, but I'm going with #2 White on White because it speaks the elegance I think Mother's Day should be. (and I love the roses)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely 8. Love the pink. <3
ReplyDeleteTable #8 like the pink and oh yes those macaroons...I have always wanted to try one. I see them being made on the cooking shows....sure would like to try on for real!!!
ReplyDeleteWell I’m going with 2 . Just something about that beautiful, seren, fresh and calming white . Good to see you post . Can’t wait to hear what you’ve been up to or should i say ... in too ? 😂 hugs and blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteMy choice is #2 White on White....love the roses.
ReplyDelete(The coconut cake looks awfully good on table one)
Phyllis
Glad you are home.
ReplyDeleteI'll take number 2!
Happy to see you are back. Table number three please.
ReplyDeleteTable #3 for me!!! I think Mothers Day celebration should be pretty, soft, delicate and girly and table 3 is all about that!!! Seat for two please. I'd invite my sister but she would already be sitting at table 2 white on white.
ReplyDelete#3 Faded Pastels suits me to a tee!
ReplyDelete#3 Faded Pastels suits me to a tee!
ReplyDelete#8 for me... love the pretty in pink! Glad to see you back in the blogging world, hope you have had a blessed time :)
ReplyDeleteTable 2-white on white for me.
ReplyDeleteHello!
ReplyDeleteNumber 2 for me.
Traditional all the way!
There is something about table 8 that is just simple and sweet . . . that's my pick :) Happy Mother's Day!
ReplyDeleteI pick number 2! Good to see you sweetie! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteI'm craving color right now, number 1 seems like the perfect choice!
ReplyDeleteI would love to sit with all the lovely folks at Table #4, A Punch of Color. Looks like my kind of table!!
ReplyDelete3
ReplyDeleteHello from Texas!
ReplyDelete#3 please! Love the look...
hughugs
Number 4 for me .. Punch of Color
ReplyDeleteso glad you're back. I think I have to pick #4 although it was hard. Like the more casual look. Cindy
ReplyDeleteI like #1 but only the balls of flowers and #7 is beautiful but would need more blue, and surprise, surprise, my pick is #2. Lots of elbow room..I knew you would be back, and am sure glad you are..xxoJudy
ReplyDeleteTable number 8. simple just like an old simple gal like me. Enjoy your day sweet friend. xo
ReplyDeleteWow your sure have lots of comments here!!!
ReplyDeleteMy choice is #8. Pink is one of my favorite colors. It looks beautiful,
elegant and makes me smile.
I would like to be seated either at table #4, Punch of Color because it looks FUN and not-too-fancy (I don't do fancy) or #6, Wine and Dine because duh...wine!! I promise I won't dance on the table though. I'll behave.
ReplyDeleteNow you must tell us all that you've been up to!
xoxo
I'd like to sit at #2 please, White on White, BUT I'm moving to #8 for dessert because ... MACARONS!
ReplyDelete#7 !! I think I'd feel very cozy sitting there!
ReplyDeleteI'd be happy to sit at any of these Diana. :)
ReplyDelete#6 Wine & Dine
ReplyDeleteI'll go for table # 5, Whisper of violet. The tablescape is beautiful. On the top I just have fallen love with the name.
ReplyDeleteTable two for me please. No smart remarks on it, just a quick choice.
ReplyDeleteThey 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
ReplyDeleteDiana, They are all lovely, but I pick #3-faded Pastels. Love your sharing this.
ReplyDeleteNoreen
Table 4 followed by no 2 Cheers
ReplyDeleteFaded pastels for me! However, I can see a use for all those settings depending on the party! Praying for your friend.
ReplyDeleteTable 3!!! Headed straight to it now...hope I won't be the only one there..
ReplyDeleteHi Diana! So nice to have a visit from you! So many folks have memories of a snowball bush. I'm feeling pinkly pretty for a table today. Love that centerpiece!
ReplyDeleteOh, dear...so many choices!!! And I am so bad about choosing. HOWEVER...hands down for me it's #4...a Punch of Color. I LOVE color! That table would just make me smile all over:)
ReplyDeleteNumber five. Happy your back.
