HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!!!!!!!!


Oh no….are you reading this and realizing that you forgot to get the Mom in your life a special gift to thank them for all the wonderful things that they have done for you!!  Well, you are safe because Lemuria can help you out!  We are open today (Sunday) from 10:30 – 3:00.  Come on in  and let us suggest some books for your Momma!  If you are in a big hurry to get to lunch or just to hang out with your Momma might I suggest one of our great Lemuria t-shirts (My Momma is getting one) or a Lemuria gift card and she can come in and relax and pick out the book she would like to read.  There are lots of ways that we can help you out in your time of need!

Here are a few “MOM” book suggestions…

This is a wonderful little book  that is a tribute to our mothers using over 200 works of art by a wide range of artists from Caravaggio, Monet, Renoir and many more.  The illustrations are paired with wonderful quotations from many literary and public figures from Plutarch, Dante, and Shakespeare to Mark Twain, Oscar Wilde and Mae West.

“The most beautiful word on the lips of mankind is the word ‘Mother’, and the most beautiful call is the call of  “My Mother.”…She is the source of love, mercy, sympathy, and forgiveness….Everything in nature bespeaks the mother. –Kahlil Gibran

“My mother had a great deal of trouble with me, but I think she enjoyed it.”–Mark Twain

Gayden Metcalfe and Charlotte Hays have done it again with Some Day You’ll Thank Me For This: The Official Southern Ladies Guide to Being a “Perfect” Mother. Do I really need to say anymore about this book?  Basically we all know that the southern matriarch is a more formidable being than the much nicer southern male after all she has a sacred mission to instill good manners, proper religion and ancestor worship into the next generation.

A Mother’s love means different things to us all.  Whether it is that our mothers know just how we like our grilled cheese to the comfort they give us when we are sad.  This book reminds us that “Mother’s love is…never too busy for hugs and kisses.”

Happy Mother’s Day to all of you and I hope you have a wonderful day!!  I am now off to go hang out with my wonderful mother!
