Flowers for my Mom...

...and a new item in Marlyn's Corner.

I like to send Mom flowers on Mother's Day (which, btw, is two weeks from today, folks!) But despite the fact that flowers are beautiful, I've come to the decision that they're kind of a cliche, so I'm trying to be a little bit more creative than just plain old flowers.

Last year, I sent her a sampler of blooming teas.

(My apologies, but I don't remember which shop I ordered them from. It was a tea shop in Eastern Canada, and I had the sampler shipped directly to her.)

I thought about sending her flowers again this year. What I'd really like to do is send her some roses from my own garden, but obviously that's not a realistic option.
Or is it?

My corner store

I love roses! I have 27 rose bushes in my garden. If you know me at all, you'll know that purple (in pretty much all its permutations) is my favourite colour. Blue girl
is one of the first roses I planted in my garden, and I've added some blank note cards and some postcards to the Flowers & Things section of my CafePress shop.
