This Mother's Day I Would Like...

If there is one thing we know for sure it's that Mother's Day is going to be extra special this year. 2020 has been anything but ordinary and moms are already extraordinary in ordinary times. So, this year we think the celebration should be over-the-top and filled with all of the things that you love most. What might that be? Here are a few items from our local Stylebook stores that we've got our eyes on...   

Amy | Red Barn Mercantile & Penny Post

As soon as I saw Parker Thatch bags at The Shoe Hive I fell in love. The Lee is my favorite shape. I use it to carry only my essentials which keeps the profile small. If I need to add anything else it will go in a tote bag. The new quilted Fluffy Lee collection has me in a tizzy. I love it so much. The caramel suede is on top of my Mother's Day list!

You don't have to be Carole Baskin to love the look of this fabulous Mythic Jaguar gold cuff from Mystique. Statement jewelry is always appreciated no matter what the occasion - so I love that this cuff will make me feel like I can conquer the world, or at least the day. But if big cats aren't your thing, Mystique also has beautiful butterfly and graphic designs from this brand. 


   

Elizabeth | The Hive & The Shoe Hive

My favorite thing about the summer is hitting farmers markets for fresh berries. This berry bowl from Red Barn Mercantile is the perfect addition to my Farmhouse Pottery collection. It makes washing fruit easy and then it is ready to go in a pretty bowl on my counter or in my fridge.

I love a great statement earring and Mignonne Gavigan at The Shoe Hive is always my favorite brand. I fell in love with these leopard hoops the minute I saw them. I think they are so fun - bold but sophisticated and perfect for dressing up my jeans and t-shirt uniform (or leggings and t-shirt these days). And of course flowers from Helen Olivia for my amazing mom who we miss seeing daily. If we can’t be with each other, we can at least send some beautiful joy. My boys adore their Nona and we all can’t wait to play at her house again! The stunning arrangements from Helen Olivia will brighten anyone’s day.

It’s probably no surprise that I love to give fresh flowers to the special women in my life for Mother’s Day. Whenever I can, I like to gift arrangements in beautiful keepsake vases. In particular, I love the entire Farmhouse Pottery collection from Red Barn Mercantile.
