To all the Mother's....Happy Mother's Day. Hope you all have a lovely day. I have a special day organised and hope you do too.
S.J.V.H has decorated her sideboard as a tribute to her Mother- in her Mother's favourite colours none the less! Purple and Yellow! I leave you with her gorgeous sideboard, but see you tomorrow for more stitching.
See the photo on the sideboard?...that's her mother. She may look a little familiar to you. She was the little Pears soap girl and appeared on all their soap boxes of the time.
S.J.V.H also has a french connection, whilst we're talking about families and French things. Here's her Great Grandfather...Louise Joseph Lamotte circa 1880's, in France.
She's telling me that he's the one with the accordian in the corner. S.J.V.H loves to trace the family heritage and is continually finding out new information about our family history. Do you like to trace your family tree? It was very interesting when she traced her family back to France. Just look at that finery? Could you imagine wearing dresses like that? How adorable are the children?
See you tomorrow when we wrap up our French Country Garden theme. Till then....
Happy Mothers day to you Bronwyn!

what a perfect setting for afternoon tea. warm lavender scones with fresh cream and lavender jelly and off course a pot of tea. Such a pretty display.

Beautiful tea cup!! With a maiden name of Cypert, my mother's father may have a French background and my maiden name Rogers maybe from England! So European I am sure of! I claim it as such lol!!
