Hello, dear friends. Did you have a good weekend? The weather was gorgeous here, and we managed to check a few things off our Spring list.
Our boss told us that Friday was the day to hit the nurseries.
She may be cute, but she is tough.
We managed to fill some pots.
And window boxes.
And even a few hanging baskets.

Here are a few more Mother's Day gift ideas for the Mom who likes to cook and entertain. This is my third post on Mother's Day gifts. You can find the other two here and here.
Aerin Lauder's new line of dishware is great looking. If your Mom is a self-confessed plate addict and adores blue and white like moi, I'm sure she would appreciate some pieces from this line.
These are great because they go with everything.
You could use my old trick and give her a pitcher filled with some spring flowers.

I have two of these and always have them on each end of the table filled with lemons and ice water when we have guests.
When we don't have guests, the Mister has to get up from the table and help himself at the sink.
If you missed it, my last post covered the beautiful luncheon over at Tina's from The Enchanted Home. Many of the accessories seen on this table including those gorgeous monogrammed napkins are for sale in her shop. If your Mom (or you) enjoy entertaining, stop over and browse. Prepare to drool.
