This Years Mother's Day Special


Every year we try to offer a new and special item for the occasion of Mother's Day. This year we've selected a truly unique gift - our Ikebana bowl.

Celebrate spring by displaying just a few cut flowers in this beautiful bowl throughout the year. We're offering our Ikebana bowls in two of our signature color patterns - Fiesta (red) and Bordeaux (neutral). Each bowl includes a heavy-duty brass pin frog that allows you to secure and arrange your cut flowers in a simple but beautiful arrangement. Your Ikebana bowl will already have an arrangement of fresh flowers that we'll provide. All you need to do is order by April 29th to ensure you'll have yours by Mother's Day. Pick up at our gallery either Friday, May 6th or Saturday, May 7th.
