Mother's Day Breakfast in Bed

Hello everyone,

I decided to clean out our little garden cottage today as it was too windy in the garden. So after giving it a good cleaning and washing the linens and drying them on the line- the bed looked pretty inviting so I thought you might like a Mother's Day breakfast in bed. You can spend the night can't you?

This little garden cottage is decorated with yard sale or thrift finds and each summer I enjoy setting it up and changing a few things to keep it interesting.

I hope you enjoy a light breakfast-I did have a few delicious muffins my daughter gave me but sadly I got hungry and ate them ! Not a very good hostess am I!

Do you take lemon with your tea-it is good for you!

Love white linens,don't you?

After your breakfast you can linger in bed for awhile and read-so cosy!

Antique lace insert coverlet on the bed with a lacy bedskirt under it.

Are you getting tired yet?

I will tiptoe out and leave you to relax with your breakfast in bed-enjoy!

I hope you all have a wonderful Mother's Day weekend. Our family is all having dinner at my daughter's home where her little one is having a fifth birthday party as well as our Mother's Day celebration.

Happy Mother's Day!

Take care,

Carolyn

  11. Dear Carolyn, don't you just love how most of our work is awfully fun?! What a pretty room. My favorite part is the tea cup. I, also, love that you ate the muffins. One of these days, I will learn to drink my cup of tea and photograph someone else's instead of staring longingly through the lens at my mug!!! One of these days....

    Love, Katy

  21. I would love to spend my day in that bed. It looks just awesome!! And how thoughtful of you to put that stair for me to use. I have such short legs, lol.
    Here in Sweden we're celebrating mother's day the last Sunday in May. So we have to wait a bit to do it.
    Have a great weekend. And hopefully with a lot better weather than we have. Here it's windy and rainy.
