Pretty, Practical and Simply Perfect

Heartfelt and stylish gifts to celebrate the women in your life

May is the perfect month to recognize and honor all the women and maternal figures in our lives.  We've handpicked some irresistible finds perfect for any woman to enjoy.

For the someone who loves to spend time in her garden, we've found the perfect book, "Grace Rose Farm Garden Roses. The Complete Guide to Growing & Arranging Spectacular Blooms".  Let her indulge in an afternoon reading session by her garden with a book sure to spark her passion for the season. 

Heading to a Mother's Day Brunch? How about a fashionable springtime outfit for yourself! Pair white jeans with a flowery top to keep you looking and feeling breezy. Elevate your look with a trendy woven handbag to take your ensemble from casual to chic.

A lovely complement to any countertop is a beautifully crafted clay dish and stone heart. Add a buttery hand cream for softening the skin after kitchen clean-up duty.

Warm up any woman's look with a pair of delicate and femine handcrafted stud earrings.  We fell in love with the soft, pastel colors that feel like spring.

Putting up your feet at the end of a long day just got more relaxing.  With hints of nectarine, peach, and white jasmine,  a coconut wax candle in a chic glass jar is sure to set the mood.
