More Mother's Day Suggestions

Dear Friends,

We do suggest you place your Mother's Day order today, while beautiful gifts can still be purchased from even our furthest regions. Browse our complete 2007 Mother's Day showcase.

This week's top recommendations for Mother's Day:

• Favorite floral necklaces from Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Each is lovingly designed and handmade, then carefully packaged for Mom. Prices range from under thirty dollars to several hundred dollars, depending on precious metals and gems, designer, and complexity.


• Heart-shaped handmade jewelry sets from around the world. These necklace and earrings sets include sterling silver, turquoise, pearl and dichroic glass designs.


• Best-selling floral brooches - a perfect gift to commemorate Mother's Day. Select from dozens of handmade designs, from Yuli's delicate sterling silver 'Tiger Lily' to Sriasih's petaled 'Symbol to Love.'


• Lovely silk shawls and scarves from Bali, Java, Thailand, India, and Brazil. Each is an heirloom-quality accessory, ready to protect Mom from light spring breezes and perhaps to later decorate the crown of a favorite summer hat.


• Fine handmade dressing robes from our favorite textile artisans. Moms love these flattering world-style robes, in stunning colors and luxurious textures.


• Batik silk fans from Bali, designed by Melati (a dear Novica friend and popular Balinese actress and fashion designer). Melati's silk fans are a great keepsake idea for Mom. These silk fans are sure to prove gracefully useful in the warm days ahead, each so exquisite that it could be displayed in Mom's boudoir for many years to come. Select from 15 stunning batik designs, excellently priced at less than thirty dollars.


• Shapely and colorful art glass vases in the Murano style. Each is a breathtaking work of art. Whether or not you add flowers later, these vases make ideal Mother's Day gifts.

Best wishes,
