Mother's Day in the Mary Mary Gallery


Hey!  OK... I know... to have a "good blog" one has to "blog".  It's been a long time since I took a few minutes to blog-on, as they say.  Mary Mary Gallery has been one hoppin' place.  We've done artist and artisan features with Ana Patricia jewelry, Trishsonian vintage jewelry and antiques, Gary J. Martin pottery and today will feature the beautiful hand crafted items of Dotti's Do Dads.

Dotti's Do Dads

Dotti hales from Punta Gorda, Florida and specializes in fantastic, fun and fancy handmade items.  Her purses, bags, ipad covers and frilly aprons are colorful and fun.  Dotti also did a custom order "Cattleman's Ball" commemorative wine bag for the Pour House.  They are on sale now.

I thought it appropriate to blog-on today, being Mother's Day, to pay a little tribute to my mom, who has been gone from us for 4 1/2 years now.  She would have loved the Mary Mary Gallery, and you can bet I would have put her to work!  Also appropriate since neither my Aunt Mary or I ever had any children.  So today I celebrate in my own way, remembering my mother, and remembering that both Aunt Mary and I may not have kids, but we are surely loved.

If you're out today, cruisin' with your mom, stop past the Pour House for a wine tasting, and ask... I'd be happy to take you down to visit the Mary Mary gallery, and to show you all of Dotti's beautiful things.

Happy Mother's Day, and wonderful Sunday wishes to you!
