Ascending Butterfly's Annual Mother's Day Buying Guide Giveaway, brought to you by:

Yes my butterflies, I do realize we are nearing Easter, but writers have to think a few holidays ahead! And today my mind is on Mother's Day.

My mom is an amazing person who takes tremendous pride in her home. She is an amazing hostess and goes out of her way to make sure all of her guests feel welcome and at home. She is also incredibly creative and I take my love of both giving and receiving creative hostess gifts from her.

I am not going to divide my buying guide by 'mom type' because I personally find that a bit annoying, I think we all have diverse sides to our personality and ever changing needs and wants, but one common denominator we all have is the love of a comfortable home. One that is warm, inviting and that we look forward to coming home to!

Meet Deveraux

Isn't he handsome? Better still he can live indoors and outdoors with equal ease. Thanks to Madison at Main, the traditional tired looking beat up 'Welcome' mat can be exchanged for something infinitely more creative!

Rug Deets:

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Machine Washable

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Versatile for Indoor or Outdoor Use

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Fade Resistant

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Made From 35% Recycled Materials

My Take

Because I live in an Apartment Building, Deveraux lives indoors! He has a very proud place to nest in my Kitchen! I like to cook and every time I step into the Kitchen he makes me smile.

Narrowing it down to Deveraux was not an easy choice! And I'm sure you are all thinking it, and yes I can confirm they had very nice butterfly rugs too! Some standouts are:

Bamboo Butterfly

 and :

Blue Butterfly

While you know I adore butterflies I very much appreciate when a brand I work with gives me options and I wanted to sincerely thank Madison at Main for allowing me to select something I love for my Kitchen!

Madison at Main is Rugs AND MORE! They also have a fantastic selection of Throws, Afghans and Blankets! There are three throws I fell in love with (maybe we can have them back for Fall with a Lovely Throw Blanket!), I love the Mink Throw, the Chinchilla Throw, and the Betty Throw too! They are perfect for the sofa, over a chair and for a lovely layering effect in the bedroom!

You didn't think I'd forget about you right? Who loves you butterfly?

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - WIN IT! - Ascending Butterfly and our friends at Madison at Main have a very special surprise for 1 lucky winner! 1 winner can select their choice of one Jellybean or Homefires Accent rug. (Not one of each, but one rug from either of the two brands)
