Thinking of moms

My relationship with my mom could be described as tough love; that's not something that is easy to admit on a day dedicated to the women who bring us all into the world. But underneath all the complicatedness is a true love for my mom. Thinking of you Do-Bird.

An early Mother's Day gift

My mom, who turned 65 this year, probably doesn't need another plate to add to her china cabinet but I couldn't resist this hand painted piece. It was on the 80% off table at Grace Brothers Antiques on Front Street. I was looking around for an oak tall boy dresser but this piece reminded me of spring and my mom. It's so delicate, isn't it?
