mother's motto


A few years ago, I came across a vintage Mother's Motto print at a yard sale. I'd just read an article where someone had an entire wall covered in framed mottos. 


Spotted this one in a sad, rusted frame. Easy enough to fix. Loved the soft 1940's shades of green, blue and pink. Not to mention the forget-me-nots, you know I've a thing for forget-me-nots....

Wishing you a very happy day this Mother's day.

Happy Mother's Day to you too! I love your little motto and you've framed it in such a charming way. Is that some sweet gingham ribbon edging it? So sweet!
