My Mother’s Table

by | May 8, 2024 | Lee's Love Notes, Tablescapes | 8 comments

Here in the US, we celebrate Mother’s Day on May 12th this year. I still remember as a child asking my mother when Children’s Day is. She replied, “Everyday is Children’s Day!” My mother hasn’t been with me for the past three years, at least in the physical realm. But the reminders of her are always present and  especially when I use her beautiful dishes to set tables. 

I didn’t even know I could create a tablescape  until 15 years ago when my sister and I were planning a surprise for my mother’s 75th birthday. We wanted to have beautiful tables with centerpieces, the whole nine yards, as she always did, but we had no idea of where to start. Somehow I just knew what to do and my first tablescape was created. My mother was not only thrilled with her birthday present but also that my love affair with creating  tablescapes  began in earnest. 

Although I didn’t inherit my mother’s talent for painting or drawing,  her artistic genes still seem to be present as that is what  a tablescape is for me, a work of art. And I certainly love the process as much as the finished table!

It wasn’t until a few years ago that I discovered that a tablescape could also be created as a prayer and radiate out Light. It just needed my intentions and co-creating  with my Council of Love partners, Light Beings in the heavenly realms.

The very first one was co-created with AAUriel when there was a drought in Australia. The silver represents AAUriel who comes with the color silver and who was working with all our prayers to bring the rain. The placemats and middle dish represent the raindrops. The flowers on the dishes and napkin holders represent renewal and new growth from the rain. The blue represents water and the Divine Feminine Energy.

 I certainly have been creating many Peace Tablescapes!  I always love using a special dove my mother gave me.  There is a whole story to that…. The Broken Dove

Here is the last table I set for my mother, for her 86th birthday, a mother and daughters’ lunch for three, my  mother, sister and me.

My mother always loved giraffes so after her passing, I set a special table for the family.

I just had a wonderful idea! Maybe I will create another table for Mother’s Day  that she  can enjoy from heaven. And my mother can be my spiritual partner to create it! My intention will be that it radiates out to the world a Mother’s Love!

Happy Mothers Day to all!  

Love, Lee

P.S. Here is my mother, sister and me  in 2012  enjoying a tea party together. Cinnamon and Candy enjoyed it too!

Here I am with my sister and mother in 2012 having a tea party together.

I couldn’t find pictures of that very first table for my mother’s 75th birthday. But this one was for her 80th birthday when my sister and I hosted a lunch for her.

    Happy Mother’s Day, Lee! What a lovely photo of your mom with your sister and you. You both look like your mom. I’m sure she would love to help you with putting your tablescapes together. Just ask her to join you when you are making them. I’m sure she will give you some excellent ideas and share her excitement with you at being asked. I AM picking up. She feels excited to help you with the tablescapes and loves her great-grandchildren when they visit.
    Love and Blessings, Lins xxx

    I understand your love for table scapes my dining room table is always set with beautiful dishes, matching glasses candlesticks my love of beautiful things comes from my mother. Every time I get dressed I feel her every time I wear jewelry I think of her even my new look with the full eyelashes from five years ago reminds me of my mother. She was like one of the first to wear eyelashes, when I was just a small child enjoy your table. I know I do.

    oh Lee I love the desert rose, as my mom had that set (and I think still has) when I was growing up. and did everyone have their very own teapot at the luncheon?! nice.

    love Uriel’s raindrop setting too. I’m so inspired by all your lovely tablescapes.

    wishing you, David, and family peace and blessings!
