In six days Mother's Day will be upon us. To start off the week I wanted to share these Mother's Day cards from Kate Spade with you. Write a note to mom and click send - it's that simple! Just don't think you'll get off that easy come Sunday. Any special plans for Mother's Day in the works? I would love to hear your ideas!
P.S. On Friday you could take her to a National Public Garden for free! Visit Better Homes and Gardens for details. (Thanks, Karissa!)
Score one for me - I was the lucky winner of this giveaway from Randi over at Swoon. Aren't these cards the prettiest? I may have to try my hand a making some of my own. The vellum envelopes are a nice touch - such a surprise to see the colors through the envelope.
Good news for you - Randi is hosting another giveaway in honor of her 100th post. I almost don't want to tell you because if you enter my chances of winning will be decreased, but good luck anyway!
While you're at Swoon take a peek at two of my favorite posts by Randi - a Peter Pan Party (part one and part two) and how to make Salt & Sugar Scrub.
This was my Valentine's Day gift to Matt. I had intentions of embroidering a line from Corelli's Mandolin that my sister-in-law read at our wedding ("Those that truly love have roots that grow towards each other underground and when all the pretty blossoms have fallen from their branches they find that they are one tree and not two.") but I got through the first word and promptly ripped it out. Way too time consuming for a gift that needed to be completed in less than seven hours. Instead I went with the simplest of sentiments and a hot pink heart. I almost wanted to leave it blank because I loved my fabric paper so much.
If you love it, too, I have good news - I opened an etsy store, the tiny hummingbird shop, where you can buy your very own stitched love letter. I'm thinking of offering variations as well, like initials (TC + MC = [heart], perhaps?) and names - "Ezra Raphael Celeste" with "11-01-10" underneath, for example. Much more to come! Look for quilts, all manner of banners and bunting, and, of course, stitched love letters.
Quite possible the coolest way to use the United States Postal Service, because who doesn't love wearing 3D glasses to read a secret message? Perfect for save the dates for a funky couple. From Pounding Mill Press.
