I am always attracted to images that portray mothers, so I thought this would be an appropriate time to share some of my favorites from around our home.
A plate
Our bedroom draperies
My mother-in-law with one of her four babies (there’s a family disagreement about which baby this is!)
Me, my mother, and my sister, Julie – stylin’ in the 50’s!

Laurie what a cute pic of you and your sister. You two look a lot alike in that picture. Some of your images look like Kate Greenway, esp. the plate. I love that artist.
Laurie,
You were a beautiful little girl! I so love all your Mother things and I wish you a happy Mothers Day too! Come by and enter my giveaway, you were lucky once!
Hugs,
Cindy
OYE...I linked up as "diann @ The thrifty Groovet" LOL
Love the different seens featuring mothers!
I hope you have a wonderful Mother's Day Laurie!
Laurie, what a clever idea and a beautiful tribute to mothers. Like you, I love these little scenes of mothers and children. You know there are many Quimper plates with just such scenes. A friend in Dallas collects this genre. You could have seen her collection during the meeting. (Hint, that you should plan to join us next Oct.) :-)
My favorite is the photo of you and your sister with your mother. Love the matching outfits! My sister and I often wore matching outfits though usually in different colors. Oh, the 50s. What a fun photo to have of the three of you.
Glad you enjoyed the pig party. It was fun to put together. And the faience pigs are some I've found at various markets in France. The one shown on this thumbnail is new production. I've had her about 10 years.
Thanks for hosting this fun weekly party!
Happy Mother's Day to you! ~ Sarah

Laurie-I have seen this picture of your mother, you, and your sister before and I just love it! That really was a different time wasn't it? Can you imagine "dressing" to shop and do errands?? I hope that you are surrounded by everyone you love (and they are doing the cooking or the paying!) Happy Mother's Day--YOU are one of MY favorite things :)
Wonderful photo of you, your sister and your mom. A very sweet post for Mother's Day!
Love,
Susan and Bentley
xxoo
Laurie, I always love your favorite things! I remember that picture with your Mom and sister, it so reminded me of myself. Keep meaning to find and scan a pic to show you that I do believe we really are sisters! Happy Mother's Day! Love, Cindy
What a cool collection!! I think I'll have to keep my eyes open for mother themed items!!
Thank you for hosting the blog party - they are always so much fun!
Wonderful pictures. Thank you and Happy Mother's Day to you.
Such a beautiful post,Laurie!
Happy Mother's Day, Friend.:)
Oh I just adore the picture of you and your sister with your mom. You should send a copy to the magazine Reminess (spelling?) I bet it would make the cover!
I remember that pic too..so sweet!
Tell dh we have the same argument in this family. I was the 4th, not many pics, so they just tell me it is me..but I know it isn't!!
Happy Mother's Day, Laurie!
Hope you have a wonderful day!
Sweet post Laurie! Love all the prints, plates, figurines.....
Happy Mother's Day dear!
Hugs,
Maryjane
We had lunch with the kids and g'kids yesterday, for Mother's Day.
On the way home I had to make a stop at Target. As we people watched, there, J and I wondered aloud what our grandmother's would think of the way ladies dress, these days. We were talking, in particular, about how we don't dress up like we used to.
I love the photo of you, your sister and mother. She was dressed the way my Granny dressed, almost every day. Always a dress and her hair and make up just right, whether she was shopping, feeding the chickens, doing laundry, or working in the flowers.
Happy Mother's Day, Laurie!
You were and are such a cutie - love the photo of your Mom, sis & you shopping!
Great photos - Hope you have a wonderful Mothers Day!!!
Laurie,
I LOVE the photo of you with your sister and your mama...I remember those fashions and that time! Hope your Mother's Day was a good one.
Hi Laurie! What a sweet post! I never really thought about mothers and children pictured in toile. I am going to have to take a good look at mine! also...loved your bad hair post! lol Happy week!...hugs...Debboe
How fun! What a great post. We have a photo in our family that is widely disputed as to who the "favorite" child is in the photo. :) How funny!
