i found a few lovely ideas for mother's day (it's not too late)...

for true beauty from simplicity,  i love these intricately crocheted beach stones from StitchHappens7

"Each finished crocheted piece is a one of a kind, using a variety of different materials"

 

limited edition set above, is available (last one though..so don't wait)

 for the mom who loves vintage,  melt her heart with this vintage book

 

"To Mother" filled with lovely floral pictures and words from bethanderson

if your mom is a bird lover,  a hand-thrown porcelain disc birdfeeder, 

 

 from PigeonToeCeramics,  it will look good, even without the birds

oh my,  i especially love this Antique Marine Life Engraving

 an original 1808 copperplate engraving by Milton from trampoline ...
