Nine Gifts for Moms

Mother's day is coming soon, so let's not forget about the gifts! Maybe your mother would be happy with so beautiful earrings or white necklace, maybe she needs some warmth to her feet, hands or neck... If she is a crafter, she would be more than happy to get handspun wool yarn or a pin cushion. And surely, everybody needs a runner for a table.

THE COLORS OF SPRING

Let's meet Kristina and her spring feelings. Kristina is an entrepreneur, photographer and a crafter. She loves colors, they are her main inspiration and creative fuel and you can easily see this in her beautiful shop on Etsy -  CupofColor

"Oh Spring... I just love how nature is waking up after the cold and bare winter. Everything seems to be more alive and joyful. Birds are singing, grass is getting greener each day and days are getting longer and longer. Spring also brings so much joy for the color lovers, all of the blooming flowers and budding leaves. Last year while photographing in nature I took this picture which since has become my color palette of Spring. It's a picture of a bush branch with vibrant green buds on a brownish background. Soon after taking this picture I realized these colors are the most common ones in this season, brown bark and green buds and leafs."

So here is her Spring palette with four lovely colors (RGB color codes included) and some beautiful items that compliment these colors and are great choices for this season.

SWAP: Early Christmas

SWAP, SWAP, SWAP.... Just couldn't resist this year and took participation in it - thanks to Daiva who organized all this! It's so fun to make gifts and it's so wonderful to receive them....
So, a few days ago, I've got a box.

 Quite heavy, really full of gifts!

 Something really sweet - Tahini dark milk chocolate, made in Lithuania.

 Very unusual card (love it!) and a letter... Calling me a "skilful fairy" (or "a fairy with golden hands" if translated word by word).

 A box with wonderful smell and beautiful angel:

 Let's see what the angels hides:

 Some home made tea (peppermint and lavender) for calm evenings (as if my Christmas elf knew that this is what I badly need at the moment....):

 A beautiful old cup filled with amazingly smelling wax:

 And one more thing - super tasty...

 Huge thanks to Karina!!! Couldn't expect a better gift!

To her words, Karina enjoys experimenting, trying, and dreaming. She loves strawberries on a grass stem, the smell of cinnamon, the beat of the sea, the breeze, the blinding whiteness of snow, reflections of sun, soap bubbles, freckles, story tales, eating with fingers, looking for new places and people, digging sand with her feet, jumping, doing stunts in her thoughts and so much more. Perfect words, the same I could tell about myself...
