Mother's Day is just around the corner - make sure you give her some glamour and beauty (especially now that it's on sale)

Not only am I running a necklace giveaway at Stella & Dot (read about it here), but they were also awesome enough to let me host a trunk show. I've never done anything like this before, and it's been a lot of fun so far.

They have a lot of gorgeous jewelry pieces that would make a great gift for mom - but there are only 5 standard shipping days left, so you have to act quick. To shop my trunk show, CLICK HERE, and at checkout *please* enter "Ashley White" as the hostess at the end of the order - you'll see a button that says "My Trunk Show Hostess is...". When you enter Ashley White as the hostess, it helps me gain reward points toward my Stella & Dot purchases! Shipping is $5.95 for all orders, and will arrive in about 5 days, in very cute packaging.

Here's what I'm thinking of getting for my mom - her style is simple and classic

I LOVE these bangles...I'd be borrowing them a lot...

These silver pearl earrings fit my mom to a T!

Of course - they have styles to fit every mom...

Happy Shopping - and thanks!

If you like decorating with bright accent colors or a cheerful palette, they have so many gorgeous beaded necklaces, like the Zahara Bib, or the Palamino Necklace, that you will swoon over.

Chic and Glamorous
If lux and feminine is your taste, they have many stunning options for adorning yourself – the Fringe Necklace is young and glam, as is the Lafayette Cross Body Bag, the Toujours Earrings, and the Chantilly Lace Cuff. All great choices…

Traditional and Timeless
More traditional your style? Than don’t miss one of my Stella & Dot favorites – the Paige Enamel bangle. There is something about it I just adore…the color and the detail are just to die for! The Serenity Small Stone Drops in a perfect shade of light blue, and the Cameron Pendant are also timeless beauties.

A super easy DIY that makes a great Mother's Day gift

The new home networking site - Link My Home, was awesome enough to publish my post today on turning a Mason jar into a soap pump. Link My Home connects home owners globally to chat, share inspiration, and buy/sell - check it out.

Below is my post and DIY

Decorology DIY: Turn a Mason jar into a charming soap pump – A great Mother’s Day gift too!

via Country Living

I’m far from the first one to present this idea, but it’s really great and perhaps some of you out there have yet to discover it. All you need is a soap dispenser pump (reuse one from your last soap bottle or purchase one from a supplier like onedreamdesign.com), a mason jar, and the jar’s lid. It is also helpful to have a drill, as you will need to create a hole about half and inch wide to accommodate the soap pump. Other supplies you may want to have on hand include scissors, a marker to mark where you will drill the hole, and some 2 part epoxy to seal the cap of the soap pump to the jar of the lid.

Directions:

1. Use marker to measure and mark a circle in the lid of the mason jar the width of you soap dispenser pump
2. Drill hole where you marked in lid of mason jar
3. Mix epoxy and apply to the lower rim of the soap dispenser pump
4. Insert the pump dispenser through the jar lid (if the tube is too long for the jar, just snip it to size with some scissors)

5. Let the epoxy dry according to the instructions
7. Fill with your favorite liquid soap – and enjoy!

Here are some examples of what you can create:

If you don’t have a Mason jar they are pretty easy to find at thrift stores.

So cute right? I think I’ll be making a couple for my mom for Mother’s Day!
