Mom’s Day gift suggestions, part 2

Virginia de Leon has a great post going over at Are We There Yet? about how Mother’s Day was always meant to be a day of rest, not a day of gift giving. Like I commented there, Amen! I’ll take whatever I can get.

But if you want to give Mom a day of rest and a gift, keep reading.

The other day, I rounded up some links to tutorials for gifts you could make for your mom this Mother’s Day.

Today, I’m suggesting some gifts you could buy from Eastern Washington Etsy sellers.

It’s so much fun to keep track of the growing number of talented vendors on the Eastern Washington Etsy Street Team’s blog . Check out some of their offerings below, and then in a couple of days I’ll suggest gifts you can get Mom in the more traditional way (i.e., driving to a local store, forking over cash, bringing home with you). I’d love to hear your suggestions, too, so please leave a comment with some gift ideas.
