So, if you're like me, you've waited until the last minute to get a gift to show your appreciation for a very important woman in your life - your mother! Mother's Day is THIS SUNDAY, May 10th (not kidding!).  So here's what I'm considering...

Something cool from Swank in downtown Southern Pines.  I was recently checking out their fun Mother's Day Cards that have a homemade feel to them (but much better than if I'd actually made them myself)

I also spied some aprons that would be super cute for the moms...

And some hip and local art - you can spell out Mom, Home, Faith...and more!  Swank is also featuring a $5.00 OFF coupon on sandhillsDig.com so download yours here.

A new store just opened in Southern Pines and we've got the scoop.  Yes, it's the one with the cute pink and black sign you've seen from 15-501 just before the traffic circle.  Welcome Pretty N' Bliss! The store's savvy owner, Jessica Morgan, stays late (open until 8pm!) on Fridays and Saturdays so that folks waiting to eat at the new Hickory Tavern or Fratello's (coming soon) can browse while they wait.  While I'm excited about the prospect of being able to shop while Wes orders our dinner, I'm even more psyched that when I wait until the last minute to buy a gift, I'll still have a few extra evening hours and not be left with Walmart or T.J. Maxx as my only options. 

I went in the other day looking for a birthday present and found way too many cute jewelry ideas...like this cream and yellow necklace (don't worry little necklace, I'll be back for you...)

I absolutely love this little girl's dress (and all of the children's clothing and shoes)

For those of you that have not checked off everyone on your gift list and still need to find that special something...we encourage you to shop among our community's 300+ locally owned shops, restaurants & businesses.  Many of our locally owned businesses have year-end deals that will make you want to sing "I Feel Good" by James Brown.  Support your community this Christmas.  Shop local, Dine local & Be local.
