Weekly Inspiration :: Happy Mother's Day!

“As mothers and daughters, we are connected with one another. 

My mother is the bones of my spine, keeping me straight and true. 

She is my blood, making sure it runs rich and strong. 

She is the beating of my heart."

~  Kristen Hannah

There is no love greater than that of a mother for her child. 

She is the woman that shapes who you will become. She is a confidante, a teacher, 

a partner in crime, a life giver, a best friend, the queen of our universe, giving herself wholeheartedly to the people that depend on her.

Our mothers lead us down the path of life, guiding us with love, care, and tenderness.

This mother's day, remember all of the wonderful amazing things the number one woman in your life

has done for you.

Remember her smile, her soft voice singing you to sleep as a child, the love that only she can give.

To all of the mother's out there...thank you for making this world a better, more beautiful place.

Happy Mother's Day!

Weekly Inspiration :: Today is a Gift

"Yesterday's the past, tomorrow's the future, 

but today is a gift. 

That's why it's called the present."

~ Bil Keane 

Sometimes it is easy to feel plagued by the stress of yesterday and the pressures of tomorrow.

Its difficult not to think ahead and try to plan every waking moment. 

The truth is that we can't plan every moment. Life will take its course however it see's fit

and sometimes you just have to roll with the punches.

Try to see life's uncertainty as a gift, as a daily surprise waiting to thrill you.

Each moment is precious. Live today as though you have no control over the future.

Weekly Inspiration :: Happy Labor Day!

"All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance 

and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence."

~ Martin Luther King, Jr. 

The dedication and efforts of the working man and woman represent the true meaning

of being an American. 

Thank you to all who have worked hard to make this country and the world a better place.

  

 Wishing you a happy and relaxing Labor Day!

Weekly Inspiration :: Be Yourself

"There is nothing more beautiful than seeing a person being themselves. 

 Imagine going through your day being unapologetically you.” 

~ Steve Maraboli

There is no one on this earth that is quite like you. You have your own gifts to share with the world and your own light to shine onto others. 

Embracing every bit of yourself, even the things you might not like so much, can benefit not only you, but the people around you. 

As the saying goes, you cannot expect to be loved by others if you do not love yourself. 

Once you learn to accept who you are and what you can offer to the world, you will release a positive energy so great that others will start to take notice. 

Never apologize for being who you truly are and know that the most beautiful thing you can be in this world is yourself.

Weekly Inspiration :: Faith

"Do not think that love in order to be genuine

has to be extraordinary....

Be faithful in small things because it is in them

that your strength lies."

~ Mother Teresa

for a fabulous night of champagne, shopping, and mixing the old with the new.

Mercy showcased some of their amazing vintage clothing, jewelry and shoes (including a killer pair of Lanvin heels), while guests sipped champagne, browsed McMullens new winter collections, and nibbled on cupcakes from James and the Giant Cupcake. 

Thanks to all who braved the rain to come celebrate the one year anniversary of Pop Up Hood with McMullen and Mercy Vintage!
