Saturday Sale - A Mother's Day Sale as a Tribute to My Mother

-
- God could not be everywhere, and therefore he made mothers. -  
Rudyard Kipling

Mother's Day is fast approaching, so I have been busy creating things that I think my late mother would have loved.  My passion for a good read and memories of my mother's collection of books have inspired me to create beautifully decorative Page Savers (bookmarks). I also fondly remember my mother's compulsion to obtain any cute bag she came across.  She loved both books and bags of all kinds so much so that she couldn't stop collecting them.  And she was quite the collector! Her collection of both would rival any library or fashion designers inventories! She had rooms full of books, and closets stuffed with bags for any and all occasions. 
 
This Mother's Day special is in honor of my late mother as I know that she would love to choose at least one of these bags to add to her collection, and would have needed several bookmarks to save her page in a few of the books she would be currently falling asleep to. :)

I have recently upgraded some of the bags in my shop so that they now all feature a little something special.  Now each bag has either beads, buttons, crocheted lace flowers, or liners to make each one unique. 

Based on traditional leatherbound, handstiched bindings of old which included ribbon to mark the page, the Page Savers are ideal bookmarks, magazine markers, etc. and look gorgeous hanging out of your favorite reading materials.

This Saturday's Sale is: "Bag and Bookmark Combo Special". 

Simply buy any Purse or Pouch along with a Page Saver and get 30% off these items.  
Just contact me on etsy or zibbet and mention this blog and the Saturday Blog Shoppers Sale, and I will adjust the price in my store for you before you purchase.  If the Page Savers happen to be sold out, and you do wish to purchase, I do have others I will be posting early next week that you will be able to choose from, and I will honor this sale for you when you purchase the bag of your choice. Please contact me on Saturday if you are interested, and anytime if you have any questions!
This sale is good for Saturday, April 17th only, so be sure to contact me between midnight tonight and midnight Saturday!
I am excited to share this love of bags and books and offer this great special to my favorite online friends.  Happy shopping! And please check the SBS hub for other GREAT deals!

--And if anyone can recommend a great book for me to read next, when I can find the time, please feel free to suggest one in the comments. Thanks!--

    I know your mom is looking in and loving to hear about all the inspiration and sweet memories. :)

    Over the weekend I learned my mom has been diagnosed with an aggressive cancer so this post really hit home.

    I love your bookmarks and have been eye-balling them at your Etsy shop. Currently I'm reading "A Morning For Flamingos" by James Lee Burke.

Walking on Wednesday - My Money Tree is Dead! What does that MEAN??

It's not the kind of money tree you are thinking.  I wish it was. But it is not. It is technically a Pachira . The name supposedly comes from a story of it's origin.  A poor man prayed for money, and then found this "odd" plant. He took it home as an omen, and made money from selling plants grown from it's seeds. I bought it at a grocery store when we first moved back to the states, in 2004 . We had just moved in to our own house, after being displaced from Hurricane Ivan , and our new place needed some green. This was the biggest plant, for the least amount of money , at the grocery store. It said it was ' foolproof ' , and that is the right plant for me ! I thought the name was an omen too, hoping it would bring good fortune, meaning a little money .  It decorated our living room in New York for almost 6 years ! During that time, about 2 years after I bought it, I tried to root it from clippings just for fun. It worked , and I grew another money

Music Monday! Just Dance

A surprise suggestion, this song was. I asked a friend-who-is-family for some ideas, as I wanted to do a Music Monday this week, but was having trouble picking a song. Just didn't have any that felt right at the time. So this friend, who by the way is someone we (hubby first actually) 'met' online. Communicated for quite a while before actually meeting in person. But you just know when you click with someone and we are going on over 8 years of friendship, I believe, though it feels like we have known each other forever. She has been a wonderful addition to our extremely small circle of friends. She is 'auntie' to my kids, she is who I vent to almost on a daily basis via messages, she is always willing to listen unconditionally. And that, my dear readers, is hard to find these days. She became family. Source So after complaining I was not inspired by any songs, she said she would see what songs came on over dinner with her Mama, and give me some ideas. Her Ma

Toekini Anyone? It's GIVEAWAY time!

Raige Creations turns 1 year old next week. To celebrate, Raige is doing her FIRST GIVEAWAY! I can't believe a year has passed, and how far Raige has come. Certainly, the handmade community and its supporters had something to do with Raige not giving up, and Raige's customers are just the best! So to honor all you wonderful people, Raige is happy to give. What to give, you ask? 3 New Toekini's  TOEKINIS OF COURSE Toekinis have, by far, generated the most buzz at Raige Creations. It seems fitting to celebrate with one of them.  Every time I have Toekini's on my brain, I think "Life is good today" and this song from Music Monday  gets stuck in my head.with these lyrics: "I've got my toes in the water, ass in the sand,  not a worry in the world ,  a cold beer in my hand. Life is good today, life is good today." But life is good today, even if it is not yet summer here, and to celebrate - the giveaway will be your CHOICE of TOEKINI.  Any
