Mother Love

We learn from the time we're young that home is where the heart is – and mums are the heart of the home. They are our first port of call when things get tough, or when we need a little advice. Or a moan. Or a recipe. A mother is she who can take the place of all others – but who could take her place? We shouldn't need a reason to show her how much we love her. On the other hand, Mother's Day is just around the corner...

Have you noticed that your mother’s shelves are so full! How is it that she has so much stuff? You can often find a whole lifetime of keepsakes and collectibles, memories of precious people and places – as well as things that make her happy. Time to add something of your own to the collection. Here are some of our top suggestions to add something special of your own: a Dusky Rose Sage Harlequin Shetland Wool Throw; or a bit of fun with our Pink-Green Bloomsbury Linen Cushion?

Think about the last time you talked to your mother, just to say something nice. Or just because… This Mother's Day, make sure she knows just how much you love and appreciate her for being the glue that holds the family together. In this past year of years, there have simply been fewer chances to show how much you care. It doesn't have to cost the earth. A little bunch of sunshine in a bottle can go a long, long way… Take a look at our Glass Flower Bottles, available in various sizes and perfect for displaying small floral stems & blooms.

If you find yourself in a giving mood, why not browse through our collection of beautiful hand-painted mugs. You'll find everything from garden flowers and wildlife to carnival stripes, sure to conjure a smile from anyone lucky enough to receive one. Our Mother's Day favourite? Echinacea...
