mothers day loot

Mothers day is right around the corner, friends. It's time to show your mom's how much you love them, with something sweet and memorable.
Here are a few cards and gifts that I have been coming across, that I think would make any mom glow with happiness.

mothers day cards: They always make them go "aw" and always melt their hearts. So make sure to get them one!

House That Lars Built

Rocket Ink

Anemone Letterpress

(This one is my favorite!)

Printerette Press

Small Gifts to say I love you.

Odelae: hand bound journals. Beautiful and original love. 

Schoolhouse Electric: Fill one of these trophies with a beautiful flower arrangement. This way your mom gets to smell the roses and win a trophy!

Royal Botanicals by Ariel Dearie: Get her some calming bath soak for those times she needs to relax.

Cities in Dust: A modern twist on elegance. These earrings will make her smile from ear to ear!

Camp Wandawega: The Iron Scoutmaster has a long history of family and honor. Mother's are the scoutmasters who pick you up and brush you off. Get her something that lasts as long as her love and is as reliable and her hand. 

a few of my favorite things...

Some of you might be aware that we have our Camp Wandawega store. We have some pretty cool camp accessories, books and game gear! Below are a few of my favorite items that we have right now. It's time to gear up and get ready for the warmer days, because they are on their way.

It's not camp with out a whistle. Use it for when you get lost on those trails, or to play your favorite relay race!

Wandawega maple syrup. This is delicious and perfect morning, noon and night. It's so good you could drink it right out of the bottle!

Have you ever been lost? I have and it isn't fun. Grab up this beautiful compass and if that north star isn't shining, you will be able to find your way home, no problem.

We have lot's of activities around the camp, but I would say archery is one of the favorites around here. Snag your own archery set and get ready for hours of fun in the sun. After archery, you can go swim in the lake to cool off.

At the end of your day, when you are so tired you can hardly stand. Sit and read up on your knots!

a big bearded dude came out of the bushes...

I don't know why I was surprised. It was deer season after all.

He had a mouth full of chew, waders on, full camo...and this gorgeous little glimmering fish hook on his mud-covered hat.

He claims that you could use it in a pinch for a fish hook, but he doesn't recommend it. He sent me to the local farm and fleet and I bought all they had.

SOME USES FOR THE HOOK:

money clip

tie clip

hat clip

bookmark (as used on our recent yearbook mailing)

I sent a copy of the yearbook to our friends at 10engines, who posted about the hook...then VALET picked it up--so I have to give props back to the hunter who has spurred a fashion trend.

We sell them at markets (bottom pic), but you can buy your own at most fishing stores or online at the Bass Pro sShop (or, catch up with our friend Max of Buckshot Sonny's--he found an amazing new-old stock stash of them).
