The Final Product for (Mom & Me)
May 16, 2012We hope all the moms out there had a beautiful mother’s day! We wanted to share Jeannette’s tablescape that she put together for her mother’s day. It was simple, easy but still charming! The details included, place cards which were placed at each table setting. The place cards read their name and who they were a mother to. “Grandmother: Mother to six, Grandmother to 10, Great Grandmother to 4.” The flower arrangements were placed in a variety of vases to give an eclectic look to the modern table. Lastly, the bright colored mugs were the pop of color. We enjoyed charcuterie, croissants & delicious omelets together.
What does your homemade tablescape look like?

Mom’s Special Touch
May 11, 2012We all know that mom’s have a special touch. Even if it is just on your breakfast, after all, it does kickstart your day! The EVOKE team wanted to share a few of our favorites for inspiration that you might want to include in your mother’s day luncheon.
Jodi says,
“Aside from a fabulous cup of coffee in bed in the morning, my mother’s day breakfast in bed was made up completely with memories of my mom’s brunch favorites. Beth’s Bagel Bites (as I have named them) are a unique twist on the bagel, cream cheese and nova nosh. Simple, easy and unique – schmeer your ½ bagel with cream cheese, layer with nova and put under the broiler until a light golden brown. It’s a delicious way to enjoy your bagel!
Jeannette says,
“Mamma T crepes were and still are the best. The filling may change every time, but the sweetness never goes away! The key to making Mamma T crepes is to let the batter sit the night before. Get up, make your mimosa and start making the crepes. The burn should stay at a low heat. Keep it simple with powdered sugar or get extravagant and peel some fresh apples, toss them into a pot with brown sugar and water! They are the perfect treat…..”
Thy says,
“My mom and I share a love for truly European Panettone – especially the Panettone with chestnuts from William Sonoma during the Christmas holiday. The best is making it into French toast the next day, the perfect treat to share with your mom.”
Have a loving weekend & come visit us on Monday to see photos from our luncheon!
