Mother's Day Cards from Ruby Dot Designs

I cannot believe that May is less than a week away! What happened to March and April? They have flown by. Mother's Day is coming up fast (and my sister's and brother's birthdays, May 2nd and 4th). I am always on the look out for fun and unique items. I love personalized, handmade, one of a kind, and fun gifts. I am buying my sister a Laci Jean purse for her birthday (no surprise since I am sending her to Holly to design something special). My brother, well he doesn't care so much about gifts, so nothing too creative there. Then there are the moms in my life. My own mom, Cheryl, and my mother-in-law, Helen, plus a few other mamas who are so special to me. I don't know if they are reading this so I don't want to give it away but that card up top may be in your mail box soon:) plus a few other things....

This mother's day does feels extra special to me because of Blossom and Poppy. I have always strived to support my creative mom friends. I host markets and trunk shows and try to purchase and advertise all their wares. Their creativity never ceases to amaze me. The energy they put into being great mamas and making fabulous items blows my mind. I can't even sew a hem and Holly, Autumn and Yvette sew the most beautiful things I have ever seen. Kim creates the most fun, modern, cool cards! Penny takes pictures of my family that capture them so well it brings tears to my eyes. I am so lucky to be able to showcase their items on my website. I hope that it brings them lots of business because they deserve it.

My Mother's Day weekend will be very Blossom and Poppy. I will be at the David Lubin Garden Tour boutique from 10-4 Saturday and Sunday. Stop by and see me and support David Lubin. Just follow the scent of rosemary candles and you will be sure to find me:)

Pictures From Penny

We were fortunate enough to be on the Holiday Home Tour for our children's school last December. It was so fun seeing our home transformed into a Christmas wonderland. We were even more fortunate that our Favorite photographer Penny Sylvia lent her time and talents to us. Here are some of the incredible pictures she took of our house. Thanks Penny! You are the best.

Ruby dot personalized cruiser card (also on the website).

I made it through another crazy week and was able to start adding pictures and descriptions to the "handmade and fabulous" part of my website (see some pics above). There is still much to be done but I am inching closer. I am going to add more of the cards and stationery this weekend. The cruiser cards are my favorite (also see above, they even have glitter on the basket:)). I love them so much I almost don't want to send them out. But I love to share the love, so I did actually send two out today.

Laci Jean purses are on the way from Florida and wait until you see the fabrics! Nothing short of beautiful. Hopefully, I can get those up this week too. Sometime between little league and a very fun trip with friends to see the San Francisco Giants play (Go Buster Posey!!!!). So here is to a fun, productive, and exciting weekend. Happy Friday!
