New Art from The Darlings



**Proud Mama alert!**

The kids school had an art show last week, and all three of my little darlings participated.

Mother's Day the goodies came home....







I think these need frames, right?!

Cam's mug says
"Mom - you are nice and respectful to us", lol...
that's the catholic school rules coming out!

Nothing better than waking up to a huge Starbucks chai latte and three giggling kids holding their handmade treasures.

D gave me a sappy card and shoes - perfection!
I'm not sure what I did to deserve a man who appreciates handbags and shoes, 
but he completely gets it :)






These are from Aldo, and they are the affordable, comfortable version
 of Hasbeens that I'd been looking for.
If you want to hop on the clogs look, grab these ones - seriously, you'll LOVE them!
I'm going back to get the black ones.


Okay, and I bought my self a present, as well -
found this little vintage avon pitcher at the thrift shop and despite the fact that it's not at all what I would normally bring home, couldn't put it down!






I wish it was a vase rather than a pitcher, but the COLOR - 
it's like jade was swirled in milk.

Luscious!
Since it really doesn't have a home, 
I think my master bedroom really should be re-decorated to match, hehehe...






A Moment for Mum...




Dinner at a friends tonight so one of these is in the oven...








heading out in the sunshine with D and Cam to assemble six ENORMOUS boxes of bits into this...






Wish us luck!

I know these plastic ones are so very practical, but really -
that's going to require some major landscaping to blend in out there, isn't it? 






I feel some backyard posts coming on!


Tomorrow we're off to visit the Mum's.

We always bring them each three baskets of flowers, one from each little darling..






such a small gift for such wonderful women.

But how can you ever properly thank someone
 for loving, encouraging and caring for you your entire life?

To all you Mum's out there...

hope you spend tomorrow surrounded by what's dearest to your heart -
 your children - x

HandMade Happiness: An Etsy Mothers Day

 




      Mother's Love


    Her love is like an island In life's ocean,
     vast and wide
     A peaceful, quiet shelter
     From the wind, the rain, the tide.
     'Tis bound on the north by Hope,
     By Patience on the West,
     By tender Counsel on the South
     And on the East by Rest.
     Above it like a beacon light
     Shine Faith, and Truth, and Prayer;
     And thro' the changing scenes of life
     I find a haven there.
                                    - Author Unknown

My Mother always wanted a homemade card and a homemade gift from us on Mothers Day.. 
those bits of cardboard and fabric and copious amounts of glue were the things she treasured.

An avid crafter, upcycler (long before it was fashionable) and artist
 she instilled a respect in us for the beauty of the imperfect, the power of the creative spirit, and the hard work that handmade objects require.
  
Always our biggest champion, Mum gave us the feeling that we could accomplish anything,
 and that we always had a safe haven in her presence...

Etsy seems a fitting choice to find a little something on Mum's Day:
