Why not make a special breakfast-in-bed for your mom (or wife) this Mother's Day? With just a few items, you can make her something lovely - without breaking out all the pots and pans or spending a small fortune.
Start with a pretty tray. I love this vintage floral one, but you can find many different varieties (at great prices) at your local flea market. It's practical and makes for a very nice gift.
Add a small bouquet of flowers. These can come from the garden or the the grocery store...just put them in a little vase, glass, or tea cup.
It's nice to bake something from scratch, but you can also just pick up a yummy pastry (or two), like this almond croissant, from your local bakery. Serve it on a pretty vintage china plate.
Then add a glass of orange juice and some fruit (like fresh berries or a pink grapefruit) and some coffee or tea. And don't forget the napkin! This one is cinched with a millinery rose pin from H & M!
So pretty, simple and inexpensive...and your mom will love it!
XOXO

Hi Jessica!
I received the horse ribbon and love it! It is hanging on my mood board a la Rachel Ashwell!
I noticed you have the simply shabby duvet..I have the same one..don't you just love all her stuff? I just bought her new lavender sheets and I love them as well. Have you seen the new lilac duvet? I am really tempted to get that one too!
Please show more on home decorating on your blog..you make everything so lovely I am sure your house is the same.
Thanks,
Lani
