I love my mama. There are few people in this world who can make me happy when I’m sad, give me the best and most honest advice, and always want to snuggle. No wonder there’s a day dedicated solely to celebrating our wonderful mothers! Few things say I love you like the perfect gift, and there is no place like Lamar Park to find just that.

If you’ve been following Facebook then you know Market is having a fantastic sale – 15% off through tomorrow on all new merchandise – where else could you find the perfect oufit for Mother’s Day? While you’re at it, stop by Goosefeathers to check out their fabulous Mother’s Day gift selection. Speaking of gifts, Julian Gold has Mother’s Day covered – from pajamas and perfume to pearls, you’re sure to find something beautiful for the most important woman in your life (because let’s be honest, who tops your mom?!). Over at Pilar, they just received a shipment of 2000 year old Roman Glass jewelry from Israelii designer Angie Olami. What a creative gift idea! Terry and the gang also received a huge shipment of Jane Yoo hand painted leather handbags and skirts as well as scarves from Nepal and wonderful gauze clothing by Dunes from Guadalajara. Talk about worldly finds!

As if I need to mention Belly & Baby and Hopscotch – of COURSE they have wonderful Mother’s Day gifts – particularly for the expectant mama. It’s never too early to get started! Stephanie and Sarah have had amazing sales over there all week, don’t miss out on rest of the weekend!
Perhaps you’d like to treat your mother to a nice lunch on Mother’s Day – I mentioned Small Planet’s redone patio last week, what could be better? Dreams of an Arnold Palmer and chicken salad sandwiches are already running through my head…But, if you’re looking for something a bit more homemade stop by Gourmet and Gadgets for some fantastic new cookware to help with your culinary masterpiece. Personally I like to leave the cooking to my mom because you can’t get any better, but to each her own!

Update: Apologies, I know I dropped the ball on photos – the end of the semester was SO busy for me! (But just because it’s not Mother’s Day anymore certainly doen’t mean you can’t go pick a little something up!)
