In My Mom's Shoes Tablescape

Kathleen at Cuisine Kathleen hosts Let's Dish every week.  Her theme for the month of May is none other than...Mother's Day!

Instead of doing just a traditional Mother's Day tablescape, I thought I'd try to tailor it to something my Mom loves.  She loves alot of things, and shoes just happen to be one of them.  So, I borrowed her shoe salad plates and her shoes.  Well, not her actual shoes.  I didn't decorate the table with her actual shoes, instead I chose to borrow her little shoe collection! 

I found this table to be a challenge, because I feared there were too many colors going on, but that's Mom for you, full of color! 

Placemats from Home Goods.  Dinner plates are my everyday Corelle.  Salad plates borrowed from Mom.  Napkin Rings are from Pier 1.  Mixed silverware by Cambridge from Home Goods.  The glasses are borrowed from my sister.  They belonged to my Grandmother originally and are quite old.  

Here are the different shoe plates:

For the centerpiece, I used my milk glass compotes to display some of Mom's little shoes.

I would so wear that leopard print pump!  Mom would too.  Actually, Mom probably has a pair of leopard print pumps already.    



I  hope you enjoyed being In My Mom's Shoes today. 

Oh yeah, how could I ever forget....The Life of the Party...Mom.  She will be 78 this Saturday!
