I'm lucky to have an awesome family all around.
As is noted earlier in this blog, my Mom passed away in early 2012.
She was a cool lady.
Anyway, she left behind an impressive array of whimsical pins.
Flowers, birds, bees, animals, snowmen, butterflies, dolphins....
I and many others would purchase pins in our travels to give Mom as gifts.
She herself picked up many pins on vacations, or when seeing something special.
You never saw Mom not sporting a pin on her left lapel.
With all these pins, I had an idea.
Perhaps friends and family would like a pin or two.
We decided to have a "pin party," titled, "Pins From Lynn."
Friends and family were invited to come yesterday,
have cookies and coffee or tea, and select a pin.
Mother's Day weekend seemed to be an appropriate time to do this in her memory.
A box was available for a free will donation
to help area patients undergoing cancer therapy.
We collected a good sum!
People really seemed to like the idea,
and I got to see some relatives and friends that I wish I could see more often.
Happy Mother's Day, Mom.
I hope you like this idea, too.
