Mother’s Day or Weddings?Today I work on some of those cute aprons embroidered with children’s faces and names - such an appropriate Mother’s Day gift for grandmom.
After that, I turn my attention to a group of wedding gown labels for the upcoming June weddings. When I started those labels, I had no idea how huge they would be. Brides Magazine even saw fit to suggest them as the something blue” in one their articles. 
Comfort GiftsWe are in uncertain times, there is no denying it. Now more than ever it makes sense to indulge in comfort gifts. We have all heard of comfort foods - the foods that make us happy on a particularly cold night or during times of stress. A comfort gift is much the same - it brings a smile that only a personalized gift that says “I am thinking of you, individually, personally” can bring. Some may be big, some may be small, but all will convey the message “I was really thinking about you when I chose this for you.” That is a comfort gift.
Think GloballyIn our global age we increasingly find we need to make conscious choices every day. Yet it seems there is so much to learn! Lead-ridden children’s toys from China and Toyotas made in Kentucky demonstrate that all is not always what it seems and above all caveat emptor.
To make it easier for anyone looking to buy goods made in the USA, I have compiled a list of items I offer which were made right here. Add to this convenience the fact that you don’t have to drive anywhere to shop for these items and you have yourself a environmentally friendly, lovely, patriotic, and convenient gift.

An Affordable and Impressive Wedding Shower Gift
An affordable and strikingly attractive shower gift that is as functional as it is frivolous.
Our New Tag Along Toys
will attach to the stroller or high chair with included C clip and will keep little hands busy. They are little (about 4 inches square not counting the ribbon tags). As inexpensive as they are, they make a great quick shower gift. They ship the day they are ordered. Brand new on the scene!Ah, those traditions
Holiday traditions - the special days we look forward to each year.
There are creative ways to support them and it is never too late to start a new one.
The Robinson family has a yearly Bake-a-thon this time of year. Nine members of this family will have special personalized flour sack towels for this year’s festivities.
If you have a special holiday tradition, we would love to hear the details - even if it has nothing to do with embroidery!
