MUM'S THE WORD

I love the new range of plantable cards from our friend Rachel at Arbee Cards. Rachel has brought out the first of her eco-friendly plantable range in time for Mother's Day on 3rd April which coincidentally is the date of our next event, the Totally Bazaar Vintage & Handmade Fair.

The natural white handmade cards have wildflower seeds throughout them, including daisy, poppy, sweet alyssum, black-eyed susan & snapdragon seeds. The entire card should be planted in soil or compost, then all you have to do is keep moist & wait for germination! Instructions are printed on the back of the card for the receiver to grow their wildflowers.

What a lovely idea especially if, like mine, your mum loves gardening! I'm off to order a plantable card right now!

The cards can be personalised free of charge - just contact Rachel via Facebook or Folksy. You can view the full range of Arbee cards at the Totally Bazaar Vintage & Handmade Fair on Sunday 3rd April at the Holiday Inn, Belfast.
