We're referring to Mother's Day, a special day that urges us to treat our dear Moms extra-specially. (One might argue that this should apply to every day of the year! We endorse this position in our own families, with varying results.) But after all these years of presents and presentations, from kindergarten refrigerator paintings through soon-dead potted plants to the obligatory breakfasts in bed or Mimosa-laced brunches, who can blame us for running out of gift-giving steam, fervor, inspiration? For sweating through indecision as the clock ticks and the icy finger of guilt turns slowly in our direction?
You will find no hint of blame-mongering here, dear friends; hopefully, we can offer a little inspiration.
For example, when we look for gift-giving inspiration, for some reason the name Carter Smith always comes up.
Did someone ask why that is? Well, let's see...
Right: Silk Chiffon, blue/tan/gold
Oh, that's right, because his silk shibori scarves are fabulous and everyone loves them! Here are a few more close-ups:
Gem-tone colors, daring patterns, flowing fabric - these are all trademarks of Carter's incomparable artistry. In addition, many of his scarves are priced in the highly affordable $40.00 - $120.00 range, so they're perfect for gift-giving. We have a wide selection in the Gallery and in our web shop; come on in or click on the individual links above to view these extraordinary pieces and more, and for further information.
Inspired? We hope so. We're rooting for you.
Happy Mother's Day!
