Mother's Day

Mother's Day is fast approaching and with it comes a nice opportunity to let the moms in your life know how special you think they are. Whether that means reaching out to your own mom, or your wife, sister, best friend, or daughter - now is the perfect time to say "I think you're doing a great job."


If you're looking for a gift to go along with that sentiment, check out these suggestions:




What's better than breakfast in bed? Pick something yummy to cook like apple strata, and then present this book along with your masterpiece. We're betting she won't mind if the book has some smudges on it, if it comes along with a cooked meal.






Give mom some time to herself and pamper her with these luxurious bath and body items from Earthworks. One of our favorites is the African Jasmine scent collection - but you can't go wrong with any of them.








This cute clutch is the perfect little purse for just about any mom. And of course, she'll love that its from you.






Don't forget to take a peek at the Holiday section of our website for more ideas.

Tribune Calling....

We recently received a request to have Grasshopper 510 used in a cover shot for Chicago Tribune's Sunday section House & Home. We were happy to oblige even if we were just acting as window dressing.

In a nice turn of events, while shooting their story the Tribune folks spotted our beautiful Susan Lamp and will be mentioning it in this Sunday's Goods section. Keep your eyes peeled!
