Mark your calendars and don't forget—Mother's Day is on May 9th.
Whether it's a quick call to your Mother across the country, a beautiful handbag filled with collectibles, or lunch and flowers at her favorite place, Mother's Day is the day to give, with a little extra thought and appreciation. And who does it better than Rachel Ashwell? I love her spirit of giving. After reading her fabulous book "The Gift of Giving", I began to really appreciate little thoughts and details, given as gifts...for often, they are the most precious gifts of all. I hope these images and ideas inspire you, also...






An idea: Why not spoil her a little with luxurious, pampering French skin care this Mother's Day? "Flowers for her Face" is a beautiful set from Votre Vu, and perfect for Mum. Please click here if you would like to see this lovely gift, offered at $46, though valued at $96. If you purchase anything from Votre Vu for Mother's Day, whether it be the set mentioned above or another lovely item, I encourage you to purchase through Traci Kuhn, ( as linked ) as she has generously offered to donate all the profits to this wonderful charity...a gift that feels good to give.

I'm bookmarking this post because it's SO gorgeous. I'm obsessed with Rachel Ashwell-- I used to watch her show on the Style channel all the time. I was devastated when the Shabby Chic boutique in Chicago closed! That store was my happy place :)
