EDNA HIBEL'S MOTHER'S DAY COLLECTIBLE PLATE

The Edna Hibel collectible plate for Mother's Day 2006, Angela and Aundre, has proven to be very popular. Everybody seems to be ordering it. Obviously, Mother's Day being just around the corner must have a lot to do with it. It makes me happy to know that people everywhere are remembering their moms.

And what better way than with a beautiful porcelain collectible plate capturing a tender moment between mother and child? Mom will feel loved everytime she sees it. No wonder collectible plates have become a much-loved aspect of home decorating. Nothing quite says 'home sweet home' like a wall, or display cabinet, full of lovely plates.

I'm going to need a bigger home for myself, as I adore such cottage charm home decorating myself. I can just see it now, a house on top of a hill, with a large garden, perhaps overlooking a lake. Every room will be filled with gorgeous art and collectibles. Now that's stylish living! Mmmm...

I have to prepare dinner now. Before I go, here are some more quotations about moms, just in time for Mother's Day. Enjoy!

“What do girls do who haven't any mothers to help them through their troubles?”
Louisa May Alcott

“Where there is a mother in the home, matters go well”.
Amos Bronson Alcott

“Once in royal David's city
Stood a lowly cattle shed,
Where a Mother laid her Baby
In a manger for His bed:
Mary was that Mother mild,
Jesus Christ her little Child.”
Cecil Frances Alexander, Hymn

“You must wake and call me early, call me early, mother dear;
To-morrow 'ill be the happiest time of all the glad New-year;
Of all the glad New-year, mother, the maddest merriest day;
For I'm to be Queen o' the May, mother, I'm to be Queen o' the May.”
Lord Tennyson Alfred

“When my mother had to get dinner for 8 she'd just make enough for 16 and only serve half.”
Gracie Allen

“Any mother could perform the jobs of several air-traffic controllers with ease.”
Lisa Alther

“This is part of the essence of motherhood, watching your kid grow into her own person and not being able to do anything about it. Otherwise, children would be nothing more than pets.”
