Well, the calendar says it is supposed to be spring, but some of us are still shivering, brrrr! No worry, the warm weather will be here soon and the flowers will bloom and all will be joyful.
Isn’t it fun to celebrate holidays ,birthdays, and anniversaries?
One of the special spring celebrations is in May, Mother’s Day,a celebration of those wonderful people who gave us life and love and cherish us, no matter how old we grow.
In 1914 Woodrow Wilson signed a bill recognizing Mother’s Day as a national holiday. Although it began as a simple celebration to honor one mother it has grown into a day of food, fun, flowers, cards, and gifts celebrating the hard work, love and sacrifice of mothers everywhere.
Quilted To A Tea would like to honor moms by offering FREE SHIPPING on all our beautiful aprons and our apron kits for the entire month of April. So stop by and do your Mother’s Day shopping a little early.
Don’t forget to stop here and pick up a pretty tea cup card to go with your gift.There’s a tea bag in each card, it’s like two gifts in one!
Do you have a mom, grandma, aunt or sister that likes to sew? How about an apron kit? The apron kits include everything they need (except thread) to make a unique, original apron for themselves. They can personalize their apron with ribbon, trim or how about a monogram? Better yet, you could stitch it up for them and deliver a gift that they can’t find anywhere else, a true one of a kind gift.
The apron patterns from The Apron Lady are fun and soooo easy to stitch.You will love them!
A tea party is not a tea party without a proper tea set and at Toadstool Tea Parties we have a tea set for any little hostess.
The newest arrivals from Mud Pie are pretty porcelain tea pots and tea cups, just the right size. All come packaged in pretty hat box style reusable boxes.
For outdoor tea parties we have darling tin tea sets.The flowery set has everything needed for a party under the trees.There’s even cutlery and a serving tray.
