Mother’s Day ~ May 13th

For the last while I’ve been trying to think of what am I going to do for a Mother’s Day window display this year. Nothing was coming to me until I saw this sign on facebook today. (Thanks Liz)

You’re the reason She DRINKS!

That’s when I had my Ah ha moment. Since I don’t sell alcohol and big bling rings are the newest fashion trend, well then, if us kids are the reason Mom drinks, why not give her something to show for it!

A Cocktail Ring!!!

Here are a few close ups of the rings we have available. They are simulated gemstones mounted in 14 carat gold plate settings. All are size 8 and only $29.99 each

1.78 ct Tanzanite

2.86 ct Pink Diamond

3.57 ct Black Diamond

3.32 ct Peridot

4.53 ct Ruby

We have lots of colours and styles to choose from so pop in the store or if you’d like to see more photos just let me know.

But of course if you are the kid who didn’t cause your Mom to beat her chest and tear her hair, we have all kinds of other great finds for her.

How about a Family Photo Frame for $19.99

Or show her she’s an Angel with one of these gallery wrap prints, $14.99 each

Of course roses speak volumes but wither and die, but I’ve got a great solution, my hand sculpted Forever Leather Roses. Starting at just $19.99 these roses will tell your mom you love her forever!

Whatever gift you choose, it doesn’t really matter because she’s your Mom and she will love it no matter what. Just make sure you don’t forget

In the meantime, Here’s to You MOM !

I ♥ Mom

I’ve got 2 reasons for posting today. One is because Mother’s Day is quickly approaching and the second is because I’ve discovered picnik! I’ve been playing with picnik to show off some other ideas I have for great Mother’s Day gifts.

The title of this blog post is I ♥ Mom so here’s my first pic.

I ♥ Mom

I thought it would be very appropriate to feature some Semi Precious Stone Heart Shaped pendants. Shown from left to right are Howlite, Pink Quartz & Hematite. $29.99 each

Here’s a little collage I put together of some other gift ideas that I thought would be great coming from the kids.

Top Left : Angel Beaded Earrings. How cute would this be, a gift from Mom’s little Angel $12.00/pr

Top Right: I just love Agate and Geode Slices. These can be wired and hung in the window or placed on a window sill. The perfect way to say “You Light Up My Life Mom” Assorted sizes, prices range from just $4.99 to $7.99. Perfect for even the smallest of pocket books.

Bottom Left: Cuff Watch with Charm Bracelet. Available in assorted colours with different saying for each charm such as Wish (shown), Grace, Love and Success. Tell Mom you cherish your time with her. $34.99 each

Bottom Right: Amethyst Chunk Earrings. Amethyst has many different meanings and uses, but to me these simply say “Mom, you are my Rock!” $20.00/pr.

The store is filled with lots of other great gift ideas for Mother’s Day so drop by, give us a call or shoot us an email if you’d like more info on these or any other items on our blog.

We are located at 157 Main St. N. Mount Forest

Mother’s Day May 8/11

M stands for May and for Mother and this year Mother’s Day falls on May 8th. So with that in mind here are a few pics of what I’ve done to help you find the perfect Mother’s Day gift.

With all the hoopla about the Royal Wedding and my love of Shabby Chic, I figure why not treat your Mom like royalty?! So this is my take on the “marriage” of the two in my window display.

Granted there’s not a lot of Royal stuff but there is the odd sparkly crown and it is dripping with pearls

Anyway, here are a few gift ideas I’ve put together.

Let’s start with a sweet little something.

Here we have a cute little “cut lace” dish with a selection of yummy chocolates for a Mom with a sweet tooth.

Chocolate Mousse For Mom $18.99

And when Mom has finished the nibbles here’s what she’ll find!

To Mom with Love

Want to kick this gift up a notch? Pair the chocolates with a wonderful bottle of wine such as a Pinot Noir or a lighter bodied Merlot and you’ll both be smiling.

Here’s another traditional style china plate for mom. Once again we can add a few chocolates or maybe some of her favorite cookies and you can share some time with Mom over a nice cup of tea.

To Mom With Love

Of course Mother’s Day is a great day to offer her breakfast in bed. I’m sure that Liz gets her breaky brought up to here room every day so why not treat Mom like a queen too.

Here’s one of my favorites. A bed side decanter.

Decanter Set $29.99 Mother's Day Special SAVE $5.00

Yes it looks very nice, but we are talking breakfast in bed, so let’s kick it up a little. Now since I’m at the store I can’t very well show you a lovely plate of toast & marmalade or eggs benedict (drool) so let’s use a little imagination.

Breakfast In Bedish

Now imagine… Sitting on a lovely tray (sorry don’t have one) is the decanter filled with mimosas and a simple plate of toast & marmalade . Add a lovely cherub to show you’re love, a crown to let her know she’s a queen, not just for today but everyday and what the heck, everybody loves chocolate!! Now how’s that for honouring Mom?

All this talk of food is making me hungry, so let’s get off that subject and pamper Mom a little

I have 3 fragrances of Queen of Hearts Gift Baskets that are all ready to go. In this cute little sinamay basket are 2 Heart Shaped Goat’s Milk Soap and a Heart Shaped Bath Bomb. The fragrances available are Lavender, Vanilla, and Rose Garden, shown below.

Queen of Hearts Gift Basket $9.99

Here’s a version of a Shabby Chic style grouping to pamper Mom.

Shabby Chic Vanilla

Shown here is our own line of Parson House Soap and Candle Co. Goat’s Milk Soap and a large Soy Wax jar candle, and an altered Shabby Chic bottle of Vanilla Bath Salts. To go with the natural sepia tones of vanilla, I added a brown victorian boot key chain and a brown agate slice to finish the grouping. Each piece is priced separately but if you like the look I can put it all together as a great gift basket. How’s that for some Shabby Chic Love

Now, if Mom’s a little more outdoorsy I’ve got a couple of suggestions to enhance her back yard or balcony.

These Cone Lanterns are available in white/clear as shown below and in green as well.
