Tablescape Thursday--Mother's Day

Welcome to Tablescape Thursday--hosted by the lovely Susan, at Between Naps on The Porch!
First off, has anyone had problems uploading pictures? I tried last night, but couldn't upload..then tried this morning trying to upload 5 pics at a time and still no luck. It worked when I uploaded ONE AT A TIME!! That was fun. :-/ Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Okay, so now on to the Tablescape~
For Mother's Day we invited Steve's mom up for dinner that Steve, Courtney and Caleb prepared. Steve made fancy-schmancy drinks for us and Courtney served us appetizers as we lolled in the backyard...
Courtney also set the table! I was so impressed with her creativity and ideas that I just HAD to share it with YOU!! :-)
Court cut fresh roses from the garden and made an arrangement and set two roses on each place signifying where my mom-in-love and I were to sit. I thought that was such a nice touch!


I loved how she used layers, too..






I love the napkin idea! You'll be seeing more of that idea that I'm steal--I mean, borrowing from her in later tablescapes I do! ;-)

Candles, always a nice touch!


Just lovely!

And here is me and Darlou ( my mom-in-love) toasting to the joys of Motherhood! Cheers!
