Mother's Day is fast approaching!

What would you have done without your Mom when you were little? Mom's have a way of knowing what you are thinking. They can spot a "I've had a really bad day at school" look from 10 feet away. I think they are born with eyes in the back of their heads! They are expert snack producers. And did you ever wonder how a simple kiss on the elbow could REALLY make the hurt stop?

As an adult, we also treasure our Moms, but in a different way. Mom invests a lot of time into our lives and cares about the details, wanting to make it to each of the grandkids soccer games, music concerts and special events. Mom listens and helps you work through tough decisions. She is there to give advice when you need it and a smile or a hug at just the right time.

We have some Mother's Day Gift Baskets available for you to get Mom this year. Each comes with some unique primitive gifts that will let her know how special she is to you. Be a blessing to your Mom today!

My very FIRST post!!

Greetings everyone! I'm excited to have Hearthside Happenings up and running! I have added several new products to the store this week. Hope you can check them out. We now have battery operated grungy bowl candles. These are in a wood bowl and surrounded with burgundy pip berries and rusty metal stars. The candle twists easily so you can put the light out whenever you're not using it to save the life of the battery. You can find them on the Berries and Wreaths page.

We also have a new category, Stars. There are three different sizes of rusty barn stars available as well as some that are framed. I mounted them on homespun fabric and stitched one simple word at the top. In stock now, I have "Faith", "Hope" and "Love".

There are also 3 new label designs on the 26oz. buttered maple syrup candles too. I think my favorite is the "Primitives" design with the samplers and salt box houses.

I am looking forward to meeting new friends here at Hearthside Happenings!
