Mother’s Day GIVEAWAY & REVIEW
I’m not sure if it is just my hubby, or typically ALL men lately, but do you ever realize how completely last minute they all are? About two weeks ago, my hubby came to me and said, “Oh by the way, we have an engagement party to attend next week and I’m in the wedding! Figure out some type of gift. I was thinking of buying a bottle of some liquor.” Had any of you seen my face, you would have laughed!
For those of you that don’t know me personally, I am a fantastic, thoughtful gift giver. I am one of those people that would rather give the BEST gift ever, than receive it. However, I don’t mind receiving the BEST gift ever…..So, I begin my mission, trying to locate the perfect gift! The future groom has an exquisite art collection with numerous pieces that feature Dr. Seuss. I thought it might be special to get something with a quote by the author himself . This is when someone recommended The Rustic Thorn, located in South Lyon, Michigan! You can find The Rustic Thorn both on Facebook & Etsy (by clicking either).
After Ronna, the owner of The Rustic Thorn, and I spoke, she had a fantastic idea. She was extremely thorough and had wonderful communication with me. She answered all 1,000 questions I had, and used her imagination to include the quote that I had sent her. She created a rustic, personalized frame that fit a 5 by 7 picture for the newly engaged couple. Below, is the amazing eye-catching 12 by 12 frame she created! Honestly, it was SO stunning that my husband’s friend, the future groom, actually saw the frame sticking out of the basket I placed it in. Please keep in mind, the future groom knows fine art, when he sees it AND didn’t even have an idea the frame included a quote from Dr. Seuss himself until he took it out of the basket! Once he saw that, he was in awe – as was the future bride – to -be. Ironically, when they were first dating, she bought him a card saying that exact phrase I chose ~ we had NO idea!!! The striking frame was passed around the table, and I promise all the guests were highly impressed!!!
Please note: the frame above included a lovely picture of the newly engaged couple. I decided to keep them anonymous and edited the picture
