A beautiful Mother's Day Tea!

Okay, let me say up front that these aren't MY Mother's Day Tea photos. No, I was enjoying a shrimp and crawfish boil with my family on Saturday, but my bestie in Statesboro, Kathy Bohannon, is a Christian comedian (among other talents) who spoke at the Countryside Baptist Church Mother's Day Tea in Guyton, Georgia. (Our crafting friend Lucia is a member of this church!) Now, knowing how much I love tea, dishes, and all related things, Kathy sent me these photos, and I was so impressed that I asked if I could share them here. I was happy she said yes, because I was going to do it anyway, but it was nice to have her blessing. I haven't been to an event like this in years, so I was drooling over all the lovely touches. Have you ever seen doilies layered like this? Brilliant!

Even the folded-rose napkin had a touch of lace!

Loved the accents of hydrangeas on this table, as well as the crosses (bookmarks or ornaments, maybe?).

Sage green is one of my all-time favorite colors, and I loved the elegant simplicity of this table. And the daisies and daisy runner!

I had to enlarge this detail from a photo so you could see the china pattern. Isn't that gorgeous? (Google Lens says it's a Community China pattern called "Brocade." Love it!)

And do you recognize all the Fostoria glassware in this table setting? It instantly caught my eye, as Fostoria has been all the rage on those "beautiful table settings" Facebook pages. (At least I think it's Fostoria! I don't happen to own any.)

I thought the olive-green glasses here blended beautifully with the plants on the table. Clever!

Do I spy pearls on this tablecloth? I definitely spy blue in the plates (paper plates, maybe? I've never seen real ones that are scalloped like these, but they're beautiful in any case!). And I like using the toile napkins in the glasses as part of the décor.

All these pastels and scalloped plates! Swoon!

And I'm not sure I'd ever seen brown plates with roses on them before! Now I'll be looking for these to set a fall table that can later be paired with light-green glasses and hydrangeas to make it a spring table.

Kathy said the tea was catered and offered quiche, fruit, and scones. I like that, because the ladies of the church should not have to wear themselves out this weekend! So thank you, Kathy, for letting me sharing the lovely photos with my friends in tea land!
