This newsletter is the third and final installment of our series featuring some of the wonderful Mother’s Day Holiday and Special Occasion gift vendors listed on FGMarket.com.
For almost half a century, Fitz and Floyd has been recognized as the undisputed leader in the design and manufacture of hand-painted ceramic giftware and unique home decor collectibles. Their suggestions for Mother’s Day include the Flora & Fauna Collection, featuring a garden of bright flowers, white rabbits and tasty vegetables embellishing platters, pitchers, plates, a pair of salt and pepper shakers, and other tableware and figurines. The Garden Rhapsody series includes decorative pieces such as a pillar candle holder, a vase, a lidded box, and a small or large basket among other items, rendered in pastel-colored flowers, bunnies and ducklings.
Another collection, Old World Rabbits, includes a canape plate in the form of a flower-filled basket, a teapot shaped like an elegant lady hare dressed in Tyrolean attire, a similar lady rabbit posed as a candle stick, and a beautiful cookie jar, also shaped like a basket of flowers being visited by a delicate butterfly. Often quite elegant, sometimes whimsical, Fitz and Floyd is always a prized and treasured gift, destined to become a family heirloom.
You’ll find country cottage-inspired gifts at Classic Cottage Charm, where ‘shabby-chic’ is the order of the day. Their decorative wall signs, hand-painted in a variety of colors and design motifs, feature warm sentiments like “Welcome”, “Home Sweet Home”, and “Practice Happiness”. The pink-striped “Queen Mom” sign might just be a hot seller for Mother’s Day!
Adorable Cottage Birdhouses are available in two sizes and an array of colors and can be used indoors or out. The darling six-inch Candle Sticks come in six different color and design patterns. Framed Cottage Prints are copies from the artists’ hand-painted original artwork, one of which bears a poem entitled Mother: “I’ve got a sweetheart, and I would have no other. She’s more than all the world to me, because her name is ‘Mother'”. Irresistible!
For more home, garden and patio gifts, take a look at the delightful merchandise offered by Georgetown Home and Garden. Their stained glass Sun Catches are lively and colorful, featuring design themes like frogs, fairies, mermaids, flamingoes, parrots and other characters. Frogs and fairies also form the basis of their line of copper and stained glass Garden Stakes. Whimsical metal sculpture planters are created in the shapes of dogs, cats, angels, old farm vehicles, even a four-piece train set, and are designed to hold standard-sized grower pots. The clever products created by the artisans at Georgetown have a sense of humor and heart, and they’re sure to appeal to moms everywhere.
One could say that the items offered by Cranberry Barn are both home- and heart-warming. Moms will love their nostalgic collection of homey Jar Candles, in a variety of shapes and sizes. Poured in classic apothecary jars, rustic mason or jelly jars with wooden lids, or 1940-style glass “kitchen” boxes, these candles are loaded with personality. Choose from among dozens of enticing and original scents, like “Basil & Nectarine”, “Bayberry & Twigs”, “Granny’s Kitchen”, and “Canadian Wilderness”.
Their unique 25-watt electric warmers are made of perforated tin in several styles, evoking Americana-style craftsmanship and perfect for slowly melting the little one-ounce MudPies, which are designed to add fragrance to the home. Cranberry Barn also produces a line of fragranced rosehip potpourri with aromas like “Buttery Maple”, “Coffee Cake & Spice”, and “Cinnamon Medley”. These blends come packaged in a clear cello bag labeled with old brown paper bag stock and tied with a homespun rag.
