Mother's Day is on it's way!

Every year I agonize over what the perfect gift will be for my mother and mother-in-law. It never fails that I end up buying something or making something, then wondering if it was the right thing to do. Don't get me wrong, my mother and mother-in-law never seem to mind - whatever it is that I give them. I just like to make the extra effort to show them how much I appreciate all that they've done for me and how much I care about them.

This year I've decided to make a list of options for all those of you out there that are having the same dilemma. Here is a variety of featured sellers and some items I think any mom or mom-in-law would like: (in no specific order)

Luck O' the Irish!!!

Are you going to a St. Patrick's Day Festival or Party? Then add some luck to your wardrobe, gifts, and decorations. Pin on festive sayings, glittery shamrocks, and accessorize to get into the spirit. Let everyone know if you're proud to be Irish, lucky, or just happy it's another holiday. Play with placing them on your cloths for different looks. For example, children might prefer to wear them pinned to the top of their shoes, teens might pin them to their front jean pocket. Pin them to a fabric headband and wear them as festive bows. The possibilities are endless! Let us know what you would do with them!
