Happy Mothers Day!

Happy Mothers Day to all you wonderful Mom’s out there. Don’t forget to stop in and get your goods, you know your Mom deserves it. And if your an under-appreciated Mom (which you probably are since all Mom’s are under -appreciated) come in and treat yourself to something special because you really do deserve it. Yeah Mom’s !

Valentine Choices

Love it or hate it, Valentine’s Day is upon us and you really should get something for that special someone. A card from one of our local card makers is a simple way to say, “Hey, I think you’re swell, even though I’m not really into this cheesy holiday, I didn’t want you to think I didn’t remember”. We have ton’s of cute vintage cards with a modern flare, like the one pictured here by Jane Hashash.  You can also go for the traditional Flowers and Candy which Deb at “Girlfriends” would happily put together a bouquet for you while you shop for all the fun candies we have decorated for the occasion by Ms. Magoo & Lou. These Bee’s reading “Bee Mine” happen to bee my favorite of their’s. Then you can head into Liberty Cafe for a non-threatening coffee date, or up to Common Ground Coffee and Cupcake for one of their Valentine cupcakes.

Of course we don’t want to forget those who have loved us from the get go either. We also have great gifts for your Mom, Dad, Best Friend, Grandma, etc. These are my favorite by Ms. Lady P.  As nothing says love like keeping someones feet toasty warm.

Happy Mother’s Day!

Go hug your Mama!

My Mom Rocks, and I know it. I don’t get to spend time with her today, but that’s okay, we see each-other a lot. However, I am thankful for Mothers Day to remind me to take the time out just to let her know just how great she really truly is. Please take a moment to reflect yourself and tell your Mom how much she means to you. No matter where she is, she will get the message.

Understand your Mother Instantly!

Finally!

Well it case you haven’t been paying attention, a week from today is Mother’s Day. And this is the week to really think about the kind of thing to give Mom that says it all. I always struggle with this one because my Mom rocks and nothing I give could ever express my gratitude. I did try this breathspray from Blue Q, and let me tell you, it made the whole decision making process way mass easy. It was like for the first time ever I knew exactly what to get Mom. Almost like….well………like I understood her. Crazy.

Throughout the week I will be highlighting special things for Mom’s throughout the shop. But come on guys, don’t wait til the last minute like last year. Your Mom will know it when you turn up at brunch with only flowers again. This year, get her something to really show you care.

Church Mice

Singing Silent Night

Growing up my parents always did a great job decorating and getting my Sister and I into the holiday spirit. One of my favorite decorations, what I thought were toys at the time, were these church mice. We had a whole bunch that my parents bought at the church bazaar. Just a couple every year, and soon they had a whole choir of them. My Mom decided this year it was time to make some more. She looked them over, figured it out, and started her own production line of church mice. Mom has always been like that. Definitely the most talented crafter in the family. I guess years of teaching kindergarten will do that to you.  Now I have a ton of Mice in the shop just waiting to go home to sing silent night to you (no seriously, the lyrics to “Silent Night” are really printed on their choir books). They each come with a scroll with the legend of the church mouse on it. Super cute and a perfect addition to any Christmas home.
