Green is the color of Ireland + of the coming of spring.  As we prepare to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, I thought it would be fun to use this celebrated color as a theme for putting together some early Mother's Day gift ideas from Etsy.  Shamrock lace scarves wouldn't go over too well for 364 days that we aren't adorning ourselves in bright green, so I went for gift ideas that mom could use every day.  Jewelry is a gift that will see a lot of mileage + not get stored at the bottom of an old sock drawer.  These gorgeous bubble earrings by Sarah of Etsy shop La Chica de los Anillos with a white patina are so precious - delicate + easy to pair with almost anything!   And no, the earrings are not green - but wait, hold onto your galloping horse!  There's more.  The adorable minty green "tweet" bird bowl made with pure white stoneware clay is the perfect vessel for mom's new earrings.  And - this item by Karo of karoArt is made by hand in non other than Dublin, Ireland!  Shiver-me-timbers!   Top off this gift giving experience with a dreamy photo of spring flowers by Amanda of AmandaRaeK - sure to bring a smile to mom's face each time she sees it. 

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
