Mothering Sunday

Only thirteen days before Mother’s day. Have you thought of the special gift you are going to get for this very special lady?

I suppose your mother is one of the most important persons in your life. Yes, mine was, sadly, she passed away just last December. I miss her so much. I awake at 3.45am every morning the time the phone rang to tell me of her death.

I always believed Mother’s day was everyday, however, a very special day can be celebrated to let this special person know how much she is loved, appreciated and adored.

No, it’s not the horses, but the lovely bone China porcelain.

Dining room and kitchen inspiration…

Although most people spend more time in the kitchen than they do in the dining room, this is an equally important space for meals. Sometimes we feel our lives are busy, as a result are unable to sit down and enjoy a meal, maybe elegant tableware would make a difference. It’s time to show it off to friends and family or work colleagues.

Our porcelain bone china from Zaliwana Accessories is quite stunning in both colours of sea grass and cream, the elegant tableware is finished with silver.

Inspiration for great photography- Part 1

When you have a limited budget, you become creative at finding props for your photography. All the photos on our site are taken by ourselves- they are decent aren’t they? We are lucky we love nature and outdoors. I especially thrive on derelicts, ancient looking structures, but colourful flowers, patterns and forms…

I have grouped the photographs into three categories, namely;  water,organisms and man made objects.

In part 2, I will show some more photos in the same theme, however, consisting of different forms.

Seven days to Mothering Sunday.

Is Mother’s day a very important day in the year for you? Is it a day you feel you need to make a fuss of your mum? Is it an ordinary day like any other day?

Personally, I feel it is an ordinary day because every ordinary day is very special in relation to my mother. Many of us are really lucky to have a great relationship with our parents and more so with our mums. What makes this relationship pertinent?

Mothering Sunday_0228_113322_Mothering Sunday

  1. My mother has empathised with my aches and pains.
  2. She has enjoyed my celebrations and joys
  3. She has felt proud she has given birth to a daughter like me..despite my many faults: stubbornness, hot headed, opinionated, …
  4. She has treated me as an equal when she needed to confide in someone.
  5. Even though I wasn’t her favourite among the children, I saw her world crumble when I was in pain…
  6. The list is endlessMothering Sunday_0228_113702_Mothering Sunday

 

Are you going to make a fuss of her on this day? Of course, make a fuss of her every single day- she deserves it! It could not have happened any other way, she gave birth to me- gave me life!

What about those of us who might not be so fortunate to have a good relationship with our mothers? I like the saying, “be the grown up” one , make the effort, let by gones be by gone. If Nelson Mandela could forgive people who were both mentally and physically cruel to him, surely you can as well. Negative thoughts are so heavy, they really weigh you down and sap your energy- it’s true! Rise from this and make amends with your Mum!!

A small gesture would go such a long way. All the flowers and foliage are from my garden(not the best), however it means that I spent time picking them, thinking about how I would arrange them.  How could I arrange them for Mum to derive pleasure from them? To be honest, I derived a lot of satisfaction making this arrangement!!
