Flowers are a staple Mother’s Day gift, but there’s no reason to settle for a plain glass vase for Mom. Why not make the vase part of the gift too? Abby from Just a Girl and Her Blog created these pretties with $2 vases from Wal-mart and vintage wallpaper. These vases are so lovely you don’t even have to put them away when the flowers are gone!
We’ve all heard the jokes about how women love their shoes. If your mom is one of those ladies who needs a separate closet to house her shoe collection, then this gift idea is for you! Stacie from Stars for Streetlights dressed up a pair of Payless flats by adding a bow made from an old scarf. Aren’t they pretty?
If your mom is a regular coffee or tea drinker, she will love waking up with a pretty monogrammed mug like this one by Andrea at The Cottage Market. Andrea simply added an initial to a decorative mug with a porcelain paint marker and then cured it per package directions. She says, “Add some yummy tea bags…some fresh coffee beans…maybe a vintage spoon and wrap pretty…a perfect gift for anyone!”
Now I know I am not the only Momma around who likes dangly earrings. The longer the better I say! Over at Infarrantly Creative you can see how I made, not one, but six pairs of pretty chandelier drop earrings for only $15 total. That’s two pairs of earrings for Mom, Mom-in-law, and… yourself! HA!
As an oil painter, Oksana from Sparrow’s Haven constantly finds herself seeking inspiration from nature, specifically trees. Therefore, it seems only fitting that she would want to bring the object of her fascination indoors. Oksana created these natural stump tables from an oak tree her husband and father-in-law cut down in the woods surrounding her home. I love how she utilized the hollowed center of the larger stump as a planter!
