I have always wanted to stop in and check out the country & garden store, and, yesterday afternoon ~ being unusually ahead of schedule ~ I took twenty minutes to duck into the place and enjoy the candles, soaps, signs, decor that could easily help beautify a home or garden. It also had several different kinds of gifts that a girl like me ~ with one mother, five sisters, and many friends who are all wonderful mothers ~ could buy for the upcoming weekend celebrating the blessing of a mother's love.
One great little find for the budget-challenged shopper with a long list of maternal goddesses to remember was a section of the store featuring the lovely decorative bookmarks by Wisconsin artist, Lori Voskuil-Dutter of Creative Design Studios.(http://creativedesignstudioinc.com)
I picked up a handful of these nice little gifts, sure to come in handy inside all those books about to lugged around to beaches and poolsides these next few months ~ at least for those of us not yet toting around Kindles and e-readers. In any event, the bookmarks, which are 4 by 9 inches each, packaged in plastic and on white linen, are designed not only to hold a page of a good book; they look nice just scattered around the home. (You can bet they will be found in the nooks and crannies of the cabin.) At $2.95 apiece (or within the ballpark) these decorative bookmarks go a long way for the many fabulous women whose missions as mothers cannot be measured.
So, if you have a large group of magnificent moms you want to share gifts with this Sunday, keep these keepsakes in mind. A display of samples is below.
Thinking of and thankful for all mothers this weekend...have a wonderful Thursday :)
