My Mom, Jeanne Jones, was a very vibrant person. She loved socializing with her friends and family
I am very glad that we were able to celebrate her 85th birthday with an open house in our church’s basement.
Several of our family’s friends helped with the open house by serving refreshments and helping me with the decorations.
I had a lot of fun decorating the food table using various pedestals for height. The peach carrier was actually one of the first carriers my Mom bought for me when I first started my herb business. It worked great as a way to keep the utensils and napkins organized.
We served her favorite banana punch!
Angel vine with rustic daisy accents made a pretty fall centerpiece. The taper candles were battery operated. The terra cotta pot fit perfectly in the wrought iron stand. The tables were decorated with burlap runners with a lace overlay. The tables for the quests had small angel vine plants accented with a rustic daisy.
The party isn’t complete without at least one fresh flower arrangement!
My Mom had a number of health issues. She really wanted to live to the age of 86 but unfortunately, she didn’t meet that goal. She fought very hard. I miss her very much.
