Mother's Day 2021
Captured by A.Ribordy Photo
Mother’s Day = Flowers, usually. With ongoing global flower shortages and preparing for my busiest wedding season ever, I decided to treat myself to a weekend off with my family and did not order flowers for 2021. So sorry to disappoint all you Whirly Girl Flower fans who’ve supported me so much over these last few years!
I have rounded up my favorite gifts from small, women-owned businesses to give and want to share them with you! There should be something for nearly everyone. Let me know what you pick!
Painting Lessons

Embroidery

My Favorite
Simply the best natural chapstick ever in cute, plastic-free packaging! I’m a fan of the pink grapefruit and wild honey.
New Art
I have several Originals from Poppy House Studio and each one is magical. Go see for yourself!
Poetry
and art! My favorite poet - Lori Hetteen. Go grab a haiku book or your favorite print.
Candles!
Locally made here in Sheridan at WYO Candle Co. They’re beautiful and smell amazing.
Oranges!
These are a family favorite and a regular gift for family near and far. The Sister’s Market picks your fruit at shipping time - super fresh!
