Mother's Day Flapper Doodle Gift Guide

.

May 8th is coming up soon, so now is the time to buy your mom a present for Mother's Day! Here's a little list I put together of things I'd give my own mom (if she wasn't already drowning in flapper doodle things I've given her lol) You can view the gift guide (and purchase things!) HERE.

ps. The link goes to my ALL NEW website! If you take a peek, let me know what you think! I'm unveiling it officially later this week, but if you're cunningly observant, you'll have noticed this sneak peak! :)

New! Mother's Day pendants

The absolute perfect gift for Mother's Day -- new pendants featuring my "I love my mom" drawing. $10, in the shop now.

BFF keychain sets!

As usual, I'm really excited about my newest product! I always feel kind of silly saying that, but it's true!! I get giddy when I finish something new :D I'm especially excited about these because it provides an alternative for people who love my BFF necklace sets but wouldn't necessarily wear them, or need a more grown-up option for them and their best friend. I know it's late, but I think these would also be really cute Mother's Day presents for moms who don't live nearby and rely on the telephone for daily check-ins :)

Available in my shop now, $12 per set.

I'm also re-vamping the necklaces, they're going to be placed in a metal setting instead of mounted on wood. I didn't get to take pictures yet and I won't be home tomorrow (day trip to NYC! yay!) so hopefully I'll get that posted on Thursday :)

perfect presents for Mother's Day

Mother's Day is only about two weeks away! Have you decided what you're getting your mom yet? I actually haven't, but I have tons of ideas for you! ;-)

If you're thinking of going with jewelry this Mother's Day I'd like to suggest two of my favorites -- my mom's coffee bean earring shop Baubles Bangles and Beans and Christina's vintage inspired jewelry shop, Down and Out Chic. They both have absolutely lovely pieces that are perfect for the occasion!

To supplement the accessories, perhaps you might want a heartfelt, unique art print from (insert plug here) my shop! :) I have three versions of the "I love my mom" illustration -- one with a daughter, one with a son and one with twin girls. All of these are available in sizes 4x6 ($5), 8x10 ($10) and 11x14 ($20). And from now until Mother's Day, all sales of these prints purchased on my website will receive a free Mother's Day card with their order!


Have you already picked out the perfect gift for mom, but your niece or your little sister is still searching for the perfect present? Look no further! The "I love my mom" print in coloring-book format! A sweet, personalized gift that is sure to make any mom smile from ear to ear! Now available in my shop in a printed version (that includes a free Mother's Day card) or a printable PDF.

mothers day gift for little girls to give their moms

It's a coloring book page! I thought this would be so much sweeter for little kids than my normal art prints. It's printed on heavy white cardstock, and when it arrives dad, a sibling or friend can supply some markers, pencils or crayons so that the little gift giver can create a one-of-a-kind gift for mom! I think it would be so adorable :-D

Each page comes with a free Mother's Day card, too! Available in my shop here. If you're interested in a pdf version instead, you can email me at kategabrielleart@yahoo.com for ordering details. I might put printables in my shop soon, but I haven't decided yet :)

Also, now through tomorrow (Saturday) night, I'm having a little "help Kate pay for her doctor's bill" sale. All prints are 25% off with code "blog". If you have good insurance or are still covered on your parents plan.. be very, very thankful! ;)

Mother's Day Cards!

I call my mom "Mommie" with an "ie", my brother calls her "Mommy" with a "y" and she calls her own mom "mom". Some people call their mothers "ma" or "mum". Since there are so many different names for a mom, I hate it when greeting cards do something like this: "Mom, you're the best" or "Mother, with all of my love on Mother's Day", etc. I immediately rule those out since I don't call my mom "Mom" or "Mother", and don't really think it would be cool to cross out the name on the card and write "Mommie" over it.

Anyway, because of this strange pet peeve of mine, I decided that my inside greeting wouldn't use any colloquialism for Mother. Instead, I just wrote "you're the bee's knees." Simple and sweet, and, at least in my own mom's case, very true. :)

Speaking of my mom, she's helping me work on the Eloise doll ALL day tomorrow so hopefully I'll be putting these in the shop soon!!!
