Mother's Day - The Past Makes the Perfect Present

What do you get mother for Mother’s Day when she has everything she needs and most of what she wants? If your mother happens to be an antique dealer like mine, it’s even more difficult. You can never go wrong with something nostalgic, thus the reason for the Spring Antique Mall’s slogan… ”Where the past makes the perfect present.”

We’ve come up with some ideas that are guaranteed to please Mom. (See photo collage clockwise.):

-Have her favorite piece of family heirloom jewelry repaired. Missing stones can be replaced; broken pin backs can be repaired.

-A beautiful pair of vintage earrings. Make note if she prefers pierced, clip-on, or screw backs.

-A piece of vintage ‘sweetheart’ jewelry which was popular in World War II. The more symbolic the better.(See the Air Force expandable bracelet pictured…ideal for a WW II veteran’s widow.)

-Build her a sterling charm bracelet that chronicle’s her life; where she’s been and what she's accomplished.

-A vintage compact that was monogrammed especially for Mother, circa: 1940’s.

Fortunately my mother can't read this blog because she doesn’t have a computer. For sentimental reasons I'm giving her the 'Sweetheart' expandable bracelet with the Air Force insignia (pictured) for Mother's Day.
