Mother’s Day GUIDE 2010
It’s that time again… Mother’s Day is NEXT SUNDAY, MAY 9, 2010. I just went back and looked at our Mother’s Day Guide from 2009 and it seems like I just wrote it last week. Amazing how much can happen in a year and yet it flies by so, so fast…
Last year I wrote a little diddy about how lucky I am to have THREE Mamas ~ a blessing I’m always sure to say my thanks for ~ My“real” mom who continues to be the most generous and compassionate person I know. My “stepmama” who is wicked smart and taught me what true love is all about. And my “mom~in~law” whose style mirrors my own to perfection. I love each of them so very much…
So whether you’re shopping for your own Mother, wife, sister or daughter ~ or just that special woman in your life that makes you SMILE ~ here are a few ideas to get you started.
Hand-Stamped Necklace from Bella Merce
These hand-stamped jewels are all the rage these days and Bella Merce does a phenomenal job at it!! They have a great selection at crazy good prices, and of course they can make custom anything you can dream of. I’m hoping for a copper bracelet that says “FOR THE BOYS”…
Charmed Life Burnout Tee from the Junk Gypsy Company
What MAMA wouldn’t love a tee from Gypsyville?? The Junk Gypsies are the true soul sista’s that remind all us Soccer Moms that there are still wide open spaces…
Blooming Plant in Talavera Planter
Our tradition for Mother’s Day is a trip to Lowes or Home Depot for FLOWERS. When I moved to the Midwest from Texas {and lived in a house with a yard for the first time in my entire life} someone told me that you should never plant flowers until Mother’s Day ~ I’ve taken that advice to heart and we spend most Mother’s Days buying & planting flowers. I love that tradition. I also love the flowers below…
Baby Blues Locket Handmade Necklace from Ruche
A little locket… so sweet and pretty.
Kenneth Print Alarm Clock
Vintage clocks are the perfect antithesis to our hustle~bustle busy days, a reminder to Mom to slooooow dooowwwnnn…
Western Vintage Revival Pendant
Made from china old and new, Vintage Revival creates exceptional jewelry that cannot be duplicated. A great gift for the woman in your life is to take a chipped piece of Grandmother’s china and have a necklace, ring or bracelet made for all of the girls in your family. It is another beautiful way to Reuse * Recycle * Re~LOVE the pieces of our past.
Horse Haven Ranch Sign
These signs are darling and what makes them even better is that you can custom order them just for your family… available on wood or metal.
My Kid Rocks Pendant from Whatta Waist
I love the girls from Whatta Waist and alllll of their necklaces and belt buckles and killer jewels ~ but the “MY KID ROCK” kinda’ takes the cake.
All About Me
This is a book about her ~ by her. It is an opportunity for a little self discovery, but also a gift for her children, and their children. Give your woman the chance to pen her own legacy ~ and learn more about her in the process. Questions include “Name a friend you should not have kissed.” ~ ok, so maybe you don’t want your kids to see this one…
Care packages for Haiti from At West End
There is a catalog company called At West End that sells WONDERFUL products for your home, and also offers great gift ideas… You should DEFINITELY go to their website right HERE.
That said, the owners of At West End, Doug and Susan, have been doing business in Haiti for over 22 years and have developed many friends there. Here’s what they’ve put together to benefit the families that were devastated by January’s earthquake ~ “We both feel a bit helpless not being able to do more, faster to help. So after much consideration we have come up with a care package that we know will be handed directly to the people that need it most. Having travelled to Haiti for over two decades, we recognize what is considered necessary in helping start up a new household. This ‘startup bucket’ consists of items that will be packaged small enough so each recipient can handle it easily. All donations given will go towards the purchase of these supplies and other bulk items. Any donations go 100% to the cause and are tax deductible.”
THERE’S NO GREATER GIFT TO A MOTHER THAN TO HELP ANOTHER MOTHER.
