Shopping for Beautiful Mother’s Day Gifts

Shopping for Beautiful Mother’s Day Gifts

I am very fortunate that my mother is still alive and very much a big part of our lives. I spend time with my mother several times a week and we are always taking her with us on family vacations. In addition, I am very close to my mother-in-law who has been a part of my life for the past 30 years.

Mother’s Day is quickly approaching and now is the time to start thinking about all of those special gifts that you will need. Sure, you can go out and get your mom flowers but within a few days those will be gone. I like to get our moms special gifts that will last forever.

One store that has a lot of beautiful home decor items, garden items and gifts online is called HomenYard.com. I’ve been fortunate enough to work with this company several times over the past few months and every time I work with them I am even more impressed than before.

butterfly wisteria sun catcher

For my mother this year I am going to give her the Wings & Wisteria Sun Catcher from HomenYard. This is a large sun catcher from the Joan Baker Collection that was hand-painted onto water-cut & fired art glass.

This is one of the prettiest sun catcher’s I have ever seen! Seriously, it’s just gorgeous! There are 2 Monarch Butterflies hovering around some beautiful blue & purple Wisteria with some green foliage sprinkled in. The colors are very vibrant and the design is super realistic! Definitely a show stopper!

mini garden fairy figurine

My mother-in-law is 87 years old and has collected Angel & Fairy items for as long as I’ve known her. She is also into gardening so when I saw the Fairy Garden Fairy with Watering Can Figurine, I knew that was absolutely perfect for her!

She is a miniature figurine from “The Fiddlehead Fairy Garden” collection. She stands just shy of 3″ tall and is made out of a resin type of material. She is kneeling and holding a watering can and has the cutest fairy wings on her back. My mother-in-law loves miniatures and tucks them into all kinds of nooks and crannies around her home. I know she will love it!

dragonfly house flag

To go along with it I am giving her the Dragonflies House Flag too! This beautiful flag measures 28″ by 40″ in size so it’s meant to be hung from a flag pole. The design has been permanently dyed onto material and it is fade-resistant and mildew-resistant. That means you can leave it out during inclement weather. Very vibrant and vivid colors. This will be perfect for her to hang during the Spring & Summer seasons.

So, what do you think of my Mother’s Day gift selections? I think they are fabulous and I know both mothers will really appreciate them.

Head on over to HomenYard and check them out for all of your gift-giving needs. Don’t need a gift? Well, they got things for your home and garden too!

Adding Country Touches to Your Home’s Decor

rooster stepping stoneMy mother lives in the country so she decorates in the popular country style. She is all about those little touches that welcome a visitor into her home or items that show off her love for the country lifestyle.

If you love the country style too…you need to check out all of the home decor items that Homenyard.com has to offer. They have gorgeous products for inside and outside your home and all of them are affordable!

Recently they sent my mom this adorable Rooster Stepping Stone from part of the Spoontiques line of products. It is the type of stepping stone that you hang on your wall (there is a built-in hanger hole on the back) and it comes in a nice gift box should you be giving it as a gift.

This is a very weighty and solid piece that measures about 8-10″ in diameter. It is made from a solid ceramic material but looks like it was hand-carved from wood. There is a lot of texture and interest to the piece and it’s slightly dimensional in it’s appearance.

rooster wall art plaque

The scene depicts a very studly looking rooster out in the barnyard  with a red barn in the background on a hot and sunny day. It is done in your traditional country colors of teal, mustard, dark red, yellow, white, olive green, light green and brown tones.

We hung it up on my wall temporarily so that I could get photos of it (I have cocoa colored walls) and then mom took it home and hung it up on one of her walls in her kitchen. Her entire kitchen is done in a rooster and chicken theme and her walls are white. I have to admit, when I saw it a few days ago…it really looked nice hanging on her wall.

You can find this fabulous item and many other home decor and garden items when you shop at HomenYard. Head on over there today and take a look around. I know you will love what you see!
