In France, Mother's Day is celebrated the last Sunday of May with a cake resembling a bouquet of flowers. This lovely traditional cake is followed by a lavish family dinner.
Children in France make cards, crafts or write poems for their mothers. Many families treat their mothers by cooking a breakfast or giving her a treat of a perfect mother’s day brunch in style.
In France whether it’s a pleasant conversation over a glass of wine, organizing a party, or playing indoor and outdoor games with family, mother’s day is made playful and celebratory. Presenting Moms with gift baskets which might contain gourmet chocolates, special wines and cheeses, along with a book by a favorite author, cosmetics and perfumes, is a wonderful tradition.
The French really know how to spoil their Mothers!
Happy Mother's Day and Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!

What a lovely card!
Hope you are spoiled on Mother's Day! :-) Carol
A very classy card, and thanks for the info on Mother's Day in France.
The French sure know how to do cakes. Sounds the perfect way to spend Mothers Day.
"You can have a cake, and be sweet, too!"
Happy Mothers' Day!
Happy PFF!
See my extraordinary videoclip with the twin sisters who HAVE TO stand each other.
It's a beautiful card but I really love the message - "Have not written that letter yet but have hopes of writing it some time this week". Me all over!
Love that cake idea! I could get used to celebrating that way!
I have to agree with Sheila, the note on the postcard perfectly sums up moi! What a wonderful way to pamper Mothers on Mother's day :D
Happy Mother's to you and everyone else at PFF!
Happy Mother's Day to you Beth, and although mine is not a Mother's Day image, it was for my wife who is now a mother! We're on the road until late tonight, but I will make 'make the rounds' and visit everyone on Monday morning.
Thanks for hosting, once again!!!
