This Mother’s Day make the day special by dining out. By that we mean dining outside! It’s the perfect time of year with warm sunny days that are not too hot; the garden lush with newly blooming flowers and everything pretty as a picture. Pull your table to the closest rose bush, drape a floral fantasy tablecloth over it and set it with the good china – its Mother’s Day after all! Have some Plantation Mint tea and strawberry shortcake for a little decadence. And at the end of the day, when it’s time to leave the beauty of the garden and head back inside, consider capturing the glory of the day inside your home. York’s Garden Flowers Trail pattern from the Ashford Blooms collection surrounds your dining room with all the perennial favorites including Martha’s Vineyard roses and Clematis, queen of flowering vines. And don’t forget your kitchen dining nook; why not try the Dinnerware pattern from York’s American Classics collection.
