A Hint of Tradition from Europe

Christmas markets originated in Germany as far back as the Middle Ages.  They take place during the four weeks of Advent, right before Christmas.   Held in the town square, they used to bring a great sense of community offering traditional Christmas cookies, heart-warming locally made drinks, nativity scenes and wooden toys accompanied by traditional singing and dancing.  It must have been a magical time for small towns and villages back in the days, with such a sense of unity and sharing.

The markets have been admired all around the world.  Many countries now host their own versions of them. 
We love the look of them.  Old, new, it's a great time of year!

Any gift from the heart will surely make your mother feel warm and loved!

Mother's Day Gift Ideas (Part Two)

May has finally arrived with beautiful sunny weather! 

This Mother's Day arrangement is with the new mother in mind, perhaps celebrating her first Mother's Day. 

Becoming a mother is one of the most rewarding experiences--help her capture the moments with a 5-year memory journal.

Or maybe she'd enjoy small antique items like a keepsake jar or an adorable animal figure.

But what mother could resist a nice relaxing bubble bath with beautiful lit candles?

Mother's Day Gift Ideas

As the season slowly sets into late spring, Mother's Day (May 12th) is fast approaching. 
 Although still a comfortable two weeks away, it's never too early to start thinking of some gift ideas!

Why not surprise mom with a nice breakfast in the morning and a new sugar pot for her tea?

Or a charming vase to add a delicate touch to the home?

Or if she enjoys aromatherapy, maybe a lovely room spray or massage oil?

And a gift wouldn't be complete without a card to add a sweet sentiment for the occasion.

Chehoma "Bohemian" Sugar Pot - $12.00

Roost Reef Vase - $24.00~$32.00
