Mother's Day - May 14
Ah Mother, where would we be without her? If you are card & gift shopping for her, we have some great ideas.

We have some great cards; due particular mention are ones by Flower Patch in Kettle Falls, Washington. These folks grow flowers and then press them into beautiful card arrangments. We have some just for Mom.

More ideas for Mother's Day gifts:
  • Pewter Blessing Ring “Mother”  -  can go on a necklace or keychain
  • Vase - just add flowers
  • Garden gloves or sun hat
  • Windchimes
  • Massager --- and a backrub, of course!
  • Candle, incense
  • Aromatherapy burner and essential oil
  • Hand made soap
  • Meditation cushion

New Items
There are not a lot of new items this month; guess we got over-enthusiatic this winter and are all stocked up for a while! But check these out:
  • Lots of new scarves for summer - beautiful colors and textures
  • New art from artist Doug Smith, our artist with the specialty in monks & chickens; this time, some particulary large pieces are available, and a new theme is elephants! Doug paints on any old surface, such as old cupboard doors (we donated some), scrap plywood, etc. He's got an amazing technique and has been extremely popular, helped by the fact that his prices are very reasonable.
If there are products you would like to see us carry, please let us know. Many of our products we order as a result of customer requests.
