It is that time of the year when we take a moment to show our appreciation for all of the love, care and sacrifices our mothers have made, and continue to make on our behalf.  I think it is not until we become parents that we are able to REALLY understand the depth and breadth of that unmitigated love. The quote above I especially love because there is always that feeling of “mom” when you go home, and that feeling cannot be replicated!

This week we’ve been helping customers find their mothers special gift for their homes – so Mom’s home can be that much more special! Some favorites have been the Collectible Lamps that we make and sell in the store. Sometimes the lamps are delivered without contents – the object being that Mother can fill them with objects of their choosing, and sometimes they arrive with sand and shells, or other objects!

Another popular gift – but one that requires a little bit of planning are our Nautical Chart Lampshades.  Particularly for those mothers with homes or summer homes on the water – lake or ocean or inlet, our nautical chart shades are very popular.

Surprising, but practical, we’re also seeing customers coming in and helping mom out by getting her lampshades and lamps repaired. It is really easy to select a replacement lampshade – bring in the old shade and we can help with the rest! And if you have a lamp with frayed wiring or sockets that no longer work, our repair and restoration service is well known for the quality of our workmanship and service.  Sometimes the time taken to help fix something that is already loved and appreciated is the most valuable gift we can give our mothers!

Enjoy your Mother’s Day!
