Say "thank you" to mom with a flattering and pretty sundress with a print made from original artwork.
Just in time for Mother's Day, The Cottage in Park Plaza has rearranged the store to make room for a new line of stylish sundresses depicting the artistry of Kaeli Smith. The store has sold the 19-year-old Annapolis artist's paintings for years, said owner Sue Gauthier. The store now has the exclusive rights to using Smith's original colorful designs on sleeveless, lined cotton sundresses. Customers are taken with Smith's designs, which are now displayed on a dressing room curtain at the store. They are asking for them to be printed on curtains and shower curtains, said Gauthier. The price range for the dresses is $79 to $119. Have you found your mother a gift yet? Tell us in the comments.

Looking for that perfect gift that fits into a stocking hung with care?
For recipients, a full stocking is like the icing on a proverbial Christmas present cake. It's the dessert after a holly jolly smorgasbord of larger gifts, and it's often taken for granted. You, the one responsible for the stocking getting stuffed (and likely responsible for most things in your household), know all too well these things just don't happen. There's no stocking fairy who stops by with a tiny sack of tiny items that have already been wrapped. Alas, the stocking duties fall on you. Here at Patch, we recognize the plight of busy parents and hardworking families and we are here to help. Enjoy these stocking stuffer suggestions that are sure to cover everyone on your list who has been nice this year. If you're looking for gadgets…
