Oh for the clothing of earlier mom’s!
I lost my mom nearly two years ago to the day. I really never thought about what life would be without her, I miss her.
Since we’re going to celebrate MOTHERS this coming Sunday I thought I would share images that seem to reflect a feminine side to life as it pertains to home life and decor. As a mom, I feel blessed to have two wonderful sons and a wonderful daughter-in-law, with another lovely lady to join our family this December!

So, if you’re lucky enough to have a mom, especially one that lives nearby, be sure to treat her to a relaxing day filled with thoughtful deeds and loving gestures.
Happy Mother’s Day!

Karen,
I love the first photo. The last one took me by surprise (the squirrel back rub) and made me laugh out loud.

Wonderful photos for Mothers Day. I love that gorgeous Swedish-style bed with the gingham panelling and matching gingham curtains – adore gingham! And what cute little squirrels. Have a Happy Mothers Day!

Karen,
I loved the sentiment in this post. I can’t believe it’s been two years since you lost your Mom. This post was a wonderful tribute to her. The chipmunks at the end made my day!

As always a beautiful post. You always find such inspirational photos. I love the last one from Ralph Lauren. I’ll be going back to study each one again! The squirrels are adorable!!!!

Karen, your post reminded me of the early issues of Victoria magazine – beautiful detail and so feminine. Like Linda, I can’t believe it’s been two years since your mom passed away. I’m sure she would be so proud of you and an avid follower of your wonderful blog.

Hi, Karen –
I hope you are well! I’ve been really busy with a couple of big projects…..taking a short break today to visit my favorite blogs. My 11 siblings and I are lucky to still have mom with us! I hope you have a wonderful Mother’s Day weekend.
Take care,
Loi

Thanks, Loi. I knew from your posts that you were buried in work and travel…all good and always entertaining for your readers. Your mom must have so much love on Mother’s Day with 12 wonderful children! 😀 Enjoy your weekend. Karen

I love Charles Faudree’s French country design and would love to find the fabric on the wing chair. I currently have a wing chair in that pattern (from the 70’s) and need to recover it. It is Elinor’s Chinese by GPJ Baker. What color run is in the picture above? I’m not able to locate it. Any suggestions?
Karen B. said:
Hi Kathleen,
Charles Faudree’s line of fabrics are sold by Vervain http://www.vervain.com/ Because that picture is from an older publication, the pattern may not be available but it may be a good place to begin your search. Good luck.
Thanks for stopping by.
