Linen Craft

With Mother’s Day fast approaching in the UK, and not far round the corner in the USA, it’s time to think about what you’ll be buying or doing to celebrate. From breakfast in bed to a luxurious linen robe, we’ve got something for every budget to make Mother’s Day properly special. Whilst this is often a happy day where we celebrate the amazing women who brought us into the world, or get pampered by our children, it’s not always simple. For people who’ve lost their mother, who had a complex or difficult relationship, single mums or people who are separated from the mother of their children, it can be tinged with sadness. If this applies to you, seek out lovely friends, light a candle for your absent mother, take a long walk in a beautiful space, call a friend and tell them how you’re feeling, or make a list of things you feel grateful for.

In World Book Week we are delighted to launch a new online bookclub here at LinenMe. Now, much as we’d love to, obviously we can’t actually sit together in a cosy kitchen drinking coffee and talking about books. But we would like to make this new blog series a regular gathering where we share our thoughts about a book, and hear yours too. To thank those who leave comments on here we will enter all names into a prize draw to win a copy of the next month’s book (see below for the first title). Our previous book giveaways have been very popular so we know there are lots of book fans amongst you. And perhaps some of you will discover reads you might not have picked up otherwise.
