Mothering Sunday March 6th

Hello from the Petal Shed! With Mother's Day around the corner, Dawn is making up boxes of Wheat Sheaves, wreaths and bundles of all varieties, including thistles, lavender, rose and cottage garden ready to go out to loving Mums up and down the country.

So no better person than to write this blog than Dawn herself  with a few ideas about Mother's Day.  Don't forget to check out her Mother's Day ideas board over on Pinterest.

We all celebrate Mothering Sunday but do we know the original meaning, or how far back it goes. Mothers day was celebrated as far back as 250 B.C, when the Romans offered gifts to Cybele, who was the Mother of all gods and goddesses.

Like many traditions Mothering Sunday has a religious purpose, being held on the fourth Sunday of Lent just before Easter. In the past we would of made a Simnel Cake to give with wild flowers we had picked along the hedge rows to give our Mothers.

So to show them your appreciation for all they do for you, you could take them breakfast in bed, lead them up a pretty garden path to afternoon tea, take them to a posh venue, have lunch at home or buy them wild flowers.

Or why not do something completely different?  Buy one of our wheat sheaves and add fresh wild flowers or roses yourself like the pretty picture above, for that personal touch.  What ever you decide to do , do it with love xxx
