Portland artist Laini Taylor has created these wonderful note card ornaments. This is not only a card, but a gift ornament, too! You really have to see this wonderful card - the illustration does not do justice to such a treat!
This 5 by 7 inch card features a miniature bohemian collage style adornments, framed in a die cut window. The ornament is printed front and back with the image and text. The little ornament is just so very festive with beadwork, wire and ribbon.
The inside of the card has a light pattern, but no words - so you can add your own. Each card is packaged with a colorful string and button envelope. The ornament reads:
My mother had a great deal of trouble with me . . . But I think she enjoyed it. —Mark Twain

How to Humour a Husband: The Mother's Guide
More Books
First published around 1920, this book reflects a time when a woman's place was very much in the home. Now with the lapse of time this book has become both a fascinating and amusing read, though care should be taken regarding any medical advice given.
Some excerpts:
Make a mental note of anything that displeases your husband in the house, and, if reasonable, obliterate the fault.
Some husbands are like pet dogs - they need nursing to keep them in good temper.
There is nothing more disagreeable in life than a home where jarring and quarrelling is the keynote on which they start and finish each round.
This quaint little book certainly illustrates the changes made over the last century. But, it is charming and there are gems of great advice inside, too.
This makes a great little extra gift for the bride-to-be.

This air freshener actually smells like baby powder - perfect for a new Mom - or great to use as a gift tag on a Baby Shower package. It reads:

Art Postcard - Joan Crawford

Note Card: Ten Commandments & Mother
Artist/philosopher Brian Andreas has created the Story People®. And, we are totally enamoured by his works. The sentiment is truly inspirational:
I asked her why she never told us about the Ten Commandments & she said she wasn't ever that good with numbers so she loved everything as best she could
& I remember thinking who needs all those rules anyway with a mother like her around.
What better childhood can one remember. This card is good advice to a new mother, thanks to your mother or just a kind thought for anyone who may remember childhood fondly.

This True Love tattoo-style pin is set in a bezel of white metal plated with antiqued sterling silver plate. An actual photograph is encapsulated in a washable, dry-cleanable, non-yellowing and non-scratch resin - creating a glowing almost 3-D effect.

Many Moons - Art Postcard by Duane Michals
Duane Michals' moons are clever and curious, definitely evoking a smile.
His black and white drawing of a many-moonlit night is accompanied by his poem:
WHEN I WAS A LITTLE BOY, IT SEEMED TO ME THAT THERE WERE MANY MOONS. MY GRAND MOTHER HAD A MOON, AND MY OTHER GRANDMOTHER HAD ONE TOO. WE HAD A MOON OVER BACKYARD, AND MY BEST FRIEND ART HAD MOONLIGHT IN HIS BEDROOM FROM HIS MOON WHEN WE VISITED OUR RELATIVES IN CHICAGO, I WAS NOT SURPRISED TO DISCOVER THEIR MOON. THEN ONE NIGHT, AS WE RETURNED FROM A VISIT TO MY GRANDMOTHER I WATCHED OUT OF THE CAR'S BACK WINDOW AND SAW HER MOON FOLLOW US HOME. HER MOON WAS OUR MOON THERE WAS JUST ONE MOON ! NOW THE SKY SEEMED SO EMPTY.
