Make Mother's Day Special with Cherry Creek North
This time out, Cherry Creek North pays tribute to the first person who ever took you shopping; she undoubtedly taught you style and grace, with style and grace, but she isn't afraid to be more honest than Tim Gunn. So tuck in your shirt, spit out your gum and sit up straight because it's your turn to treat your little black dress of a friend, your mom. And knowing that she had a reason to keep bugging you to do your homework—you really are a procrastinator—we wanted you to know that Cherry Creek North has just the right thing for that last-minute Mother's Day special gift. Hey! Wake up! It's this Sunday, May 9th.

A JEWEL OF A MOM

	The Sparkle of Love Want to know what gives Mom that sparkle in her eye; that twinkle that shows just how happy she is; the one commonly noticed in new brides-to-be? It's the reflection of diamonds, of course. Jewelry is the ultimate accessory and the gift reserved for only our nearest and dearest, and no one could be dearer; after all, you were the person only a mother could love, right? A great place to get the Sparkle of Love in Cherry Creek North is Foster & Son Fine Jewelers, 2908 E. 3rd. Ave., now celebrating its 51st year in business – with the same family! Brien Foster, the owner, took over in 1987 from his Mother, Patty Foster, who founded the shop in 1959. Could there be a better place to celebrate Mother Day’s for your Mom?
	A Token of Your Love A very special, and unique, Mother's Day gift is sure to be found at Elizabeth Lindsay Creations, at 3033 E. 3rd Ave., home of the highly coveted Token Tags. Each Token Tag is a hand-stamped, personalized sterling silver charm made one letter at a time by Colorado jewelry designer Elizabeth Lindsay. They are, of course, perfect for Mother's Day, and they can also celebrate a cause close to your Mother's heart. Remember—each one is unique, just like your Mother.
	Developing Mom Handmade jewelry has always touched her heart, but unless you are under the age of 12, we suggest you leave it to the professionals because, unfortunately, glitter and macaroni can only go so far. Ten Thousand Villages, a nonprofit fair trade store at 2626 E. 3rd Ave. works with artisans in developing countries to bring you handmade goods; through May 8th only receive 20% off select jewelry. As Hillary Clinton, herself a mother, once said, it takes a village.

THE PAMPERED MOM

The Mother of All Treats
Mothers are always doing things for everyone else: children, husbands, neighbors and friends, so she deserves something she wouldn't normally do for herself. Pamper her with the Mother of All Spa Packages at Antoine du Chez at 2700 E. 2nd Ave. including an aromatic foot soak, a warm stone massage, a warm stone manicure, a warm stone pedicure and a custom facial -- all for only $300. Other packages offered are the Tranquility and Transformation package for $160 and the Mother and Daughter Time package for $125 per person.

Polished Demeanor
What mother wouldn't love a mani/pedi? At Nails Etcetera inside Raul Salon at 250 Steele St., Ste. 215, the special Mother's Day manicure/pedicure combo is only $50 through May 15th. As you know, perfect nails are essential to her polished demeanor.

THE SPECIAL MOM

	Just For Her—And You One for Mom ... one for you. It's the perfect time to shop the spring sandal styles and accessories at Marmi at 2800 E. 2nd Ave. Ste. 102 because from now through May 9th, you will rack up double JFY (Just for You) points toward your reward purchase. After all, giving is truly rewarding! And if that isn't enough, 3 words: Free. Gift. Wrap.
	2 the 9s And now we recommend an event that is (GASP!) outside the neighborhood, but don't worry, our very own Cherry Creek North vendors -- The Vineyard Wine Shop, The Brass Bed, Djuna, Garbarini and Shaver Ramsey -- will be there. Shop 2 the 9s: The Warehouse Sale, the Mother's Day weekend event featuring antiques, art, decor, apparel, bedding and wine, at 2727 W. 27th Ave., is sure to be a first-class affair. Deep discounts from fave boutiques will be available May 7th from 12-8pm and May 8-9 from 10 am - 6 pm.
	A Rose Above You are not the first person to send flowers for Mother's Day, but with our help it's possible yours will stand above the rest. The Twisted Tulip at 300 Fillmore St. specializes in artful floral arrangements that are carefully crafted and a little unexpected. A rose in any other arrangement may smell as sweet, but that doesn't mean it will look as spectacular.

TABLE FOR MOM

Eat, Love, Mother
The gifts are great, but it wouldn't be Mother's Day without a fabulous dining experience, and Cherry Creek North, with some 40 such restaurants, has to be the destination of Mother's choice. There is something for everyone, of course, but may we suggest Earls Denver Cherry Creek, at 201 Columbine St., Suite 100, where the philosophy is good, honest food, delicious drinks, the right vibe, and some darn good fun. Heck, with Mom there it'll feel just like home.

Whole Goodness
The wholesome goodness of a home-cooked meal is often forgotten with today's busy schedules. Whole Foods Market at 2375 E. 1st Ave. is committed to helping you bring fresh, and organic ingredients to your table—it's so tasty too. For words of wisdom and recipes that are sure to be instant family favorites, you'll feel right at home here. Why, it could be just like Mother used to make.
