Mother's Day 2022 at LaBelle's | Art Glass + Hummingbird Feeder Recipe

 

Hanging Art Glass Hummingbird Feeder

Mother's Day is going to be here before you know it. I love how Mother's Day is a springtime holiday. The season of re-birth is such an appropriate time to celebrate the nurturers, wouldn't you agree?  Mother's Day 2022 at LaBelle's General Store includes some delightful items your Mom will love.  Here we've gathered for your perusal some gorgeous art glass Mother's Day gifts. 

How to Attract Hummingbirds

Your Mom's garden will attract hummingbirds from near and far with one of these vibrant glass hanging hummingbird feeders. With stunning swirled designs, these handblown glass feeders feature a built-in ant moat to keep ants away from the nectar. Simply hang with the metal hook at least 4 feet above the ground from a tree, post or front porch and watch how your colorful hummingbird feeder brings beauty to the yard.   Holding up to 10 fluid ounces of nectar, these glass hummingbird feeders feature a removable stopper with drop feeder.  And here's a little bonus, a simple recipe for Hummingbird Nectar:

Sweet and Simple Nectar Recipe:

Bring 4 cups of filtered water to a boil.  Remove from heat.  Add 1 cup of white sugar and stir until dissolved. Wait for the nectar to cool before filling the feeder. Put the feeder in a shady spot - the nectar will quickly spoil if set in direct sunlight daily. Please note, never put honey, gelatin, brown sugar, or artificial sweeteners in a feeder.

Multicolor Glass Hummingbird Feeder

This next glass piece will truly inspire Mom.  Give her garden an upscale yet whimsical spruce up with this Art Glass Speckle Turquoise Bell Chime.  A wooden clapper creates a melodious chime as it rings against the hand crafted speckled glass.  Perfect for her garden or any outdoor space, the bell comes ready to hang on a small shepherd's hook for easy display on a post or tree branch.  All the other moms on the block will envy the chime of this bell as well as its unique turquoise and blue speckled design.

Now, feast your eyes on this beautiful fellow:

Solar Powered Fish Art Glass

If you think your Mom needs something a little extra, this next art glass gift idea is absolutely stunning.  Like magic, the beautiful colors in this tropical art glass fish stake are illuminated as soon as the sun sets.  Perfect for any sunny outdoor space that calls for touch of coastal charm and whimsy.  I had no choice but to take one of these gorgeous art glass fish home to my garden and it has brought me so much joy.  Just keep in mind, anything powered by the sun needs up to 6 hours in direct sunlight for best results.

Art Glass Stacked Globes with Metal Frame

Mother's Day is the perfect time to buy Mom something she would probably never buy herself, but you know she would love.  With swirled glass globes, this stacked metal stake will add a striking statement  to Mom's garden. Featuring 5 marbled glass globes, this 47" tall metal and glass stake creates a stunning scene year round. Perfect for any yard, this mesmerizing design is crafted of outdoor-safe metal that won't fade over time. And it's effortless to install, just simply push the stake directly into damp soil for instant display!

Glow in the Dark Garden Stakes

Don't miss out on this great Mother's Day gift idea.  We could not believe how quickly these Glow in the Dark Garden Stakes flew out the door last year!  Luckily we were able to get our hands on more of these lovely butterfly and dragonlfy garden art stakes for 2022.  A new shipment has arrived, but they won't last long!  Currently we are fully stocked with the best variety of butterflies and dragonflies with glow-in-the-dark elements like beads and glass.

Message in a Bottle Glass Sculptures

We cannot forget to show you this fabulous array of glass sculptures that are also making their return for 2022.  Made from beautiful, swirled hand-blown glass, these captivating pieces all contain sand + shells encapsulated within the glass.  We currently have them in a variety of shapes including different sized bottles and orbs.  And I must warn you, these too will not last long, so don't be a slow-poke, get in to visit us soon before these glass + sand sculptures disappear.

FYI, Mother's Day is Sunday, May 8th.   Check our Google listing for current store hours.  See you soon! 

Lovely New Garden Flags for Spring 2022

 

New Hydrangea Garden Flag

'Tis the season!  It's like Christmas around here these days; boxes are everywhere! New goodies are arriving daily and we are swamped in a sea of cardboard and packing paper.  Some of the goodies we've just unwrapped are so perfect for your Springtime outdoor home decor, I just had to share them right away.  

Add Some Sunshine When Skies are Gray

It's time to go from gray to gay!  Let us help you make your home a Spring delight.  This time of year, I'm checking my seedlings every day, so eager for signs of life.  And the same holds true outside in the garden, where tulips are bravely emerging from their dirty depths, and my English Primrose are asserting their stiff-upper lip.  Yet, it's still so monotone outside that I need to add some punches of color to help fill the void.  And that's why I'm so excited about our new Garden Flag selections that have just now arrived. 

Crafted from 100% weatherproof polyester to protect them against the elements, our lovely new Garden Flags for Spring 2022 will add the burst of color that's so needed right now.  We always look for garden flags whose artwork is vibrant and connected to Cape Cod in some way.   Pictured above, our new Hydrangea Garden Flag fits the bill and what makes it a show stopper is its texture which is inspired by cotton waffle fabrics.  This beautiful Hydrangea Garden Flag is perfect for anyone who is eagerly awaiting the arrival of the 2022 Cape Cod Hydrangea Festival! 

Ranunculus Buffalo Check Welcome Flag

It's a little too cold right now to plant warm-weather flowers, but you still want to add color, right?  You can do it with this beauty!  I've only recently learned about Ranunculus flowers which are one of the first cool flowers to grow, and this gorgeous flag reminds me of those little Spring beauties with its vibrant bouquet on a black and white buffalo check background.  Made of fade-resistant fabric, with tight-detailed stitching, you'll enjoy our flags for years to come.

Dragonfly + Hydrangea Garden Flag

The artwork of Annie LaPoint is featured on this gorgeous Hydrangea + Butterfly Garden Flag and has been heat transferred to sun-blocking polyester textured fabric, offering brilliant color and non-fray durability.  The flag is opaque and does not fade in the sunlight.  Words and artwork are readable from both sides of the flag making it perfect for any spot in the yard.

Flower Basket Bicycle Garden Flag

This beautiful Bicycle Flag features some attractive applique details that make it really stand-out, literally!  Some of the flowers and foliage on the bicycle basket are 3-dimensional, creating an eye-catching flag that will look fun and fanciful in your yard. 

Welcome Home Hydrangeas Garden Flag

Lemon Yellow and Blue are so on trend this year, and this vibrant Hydrangeas and Gingham Garden Flag will add so much life to your yard as you wait for the colors of Spring to explode.  I just love the ultramarine blue mason jars tied together with string and the 3-dimensional applique petals of the Nikko blue hydrangeas of this stunning Cape Cod inspired garden flag.  Click on the picture above to shop for this gorgeous garden flag.

We made sure to make it super-easy for you to come in and pick out a lovely new garden flag with our brand new display and we've also made sure to stock a limited supply of one-piece black metal Garden Flag Stakes so you can level-up your curb appeal in one fell swoop!  Garden flags measure 12.5 x 18 inches.

And here's a sneak of more new home decor!
