This will be my 2nd Mother's day without my mom.... and I miss her terribly. As a mom myself, there's such a joy in getting a thoughtful card, a thoughtful gift and simply being treated special on Mother's Day!
After all.... Mom's sacrifice quite a lot to have these babies... bodies that don't quite go back the way they were.... sleepless nights... doing things for their kids instead of themselves... It's truly a selfless job!

Anyway... when my mother passed away, and we were sorting thru her things, ONE of the things that I really loved keeping was her jewelry. I could not and didn't want to wear her clothes or her shoes....sometimes keeping large bulky things like furniture is a problem.. but wearing something like a ring or necklace that my mom wore is special. It's something that fits just about everyone.
Keeping "the good stuff" was also in consideration... minus a few costume things that were memorable. I have to say that these nicer pieces became valuable to me.... and they don't take up a lot of storage.
Don't discount the quality jewelry gift to your mom.... or how it will come back to you one day. There are many memories to be passed down that while will be in a jewelry box and worn occasionally or everyday... WONT be in a box in the attic to only be looked at every 5 years or less.
I know you know I sell designer jewelry... but I had to tell you about my own personal experience... that I loved going thru my mom's jewelry box and keeping special treasures that she wore or I had given her or made her over the years. What a gift!
