If your mother lives closer than 7 states away (like mine does) you might wanna click over to Decatur Mom, who has put together an excellent and extensive list of Decatur-based Mother’s Day ideas.

Kelly tells us that all moms will receive a complementary glass of champagne at Tastings on Sunday.

Also, The Decatur Minute has the dish on Vivid Boutique’s Mother’s Day specials.

Any other businesses that have specials going on this weekend should feel free to post ‘em below.

Happy Mother’s Day Mom!  Wanna fly down this weekend and paint the proverbial town?

AsianCajuns reports that Vivid Boutique opened last Friday in a posting about holiday shopping in Decatur (Victory Vintage Home, Heliotrope and Dresscodes are also mentioned).

Here’s the blurb…

Located between Starbuck’s and The Brickstore, Vivid Boutique was opened last Friday by the owner and jewelry maker of the former Jewel Couture Boutique. It’s probably the most feminine store in Decatur and has beautiful jewelry, home accents and fun gift items. The best part is that everything in the store is reasonably priced or cheaper. I have a feeling I’ll be buying a lot of Christmas presents this year at Vivid.

Just in time for Terrific Thursdays!

Christina Muir is moving her Jewel Couture Boutique from Clairemont Rd (near the music store) up to the square and taking on a new name: Vivid Boutique.

Since Cold Stone Creamery up and deserted its spot at 133 East Court House Square a few months ago (following in the steps of the Emory location), the space next to Starbucks has been under renovation. Pale blue walls graced with bags, soaps and jewelry have replaced the marble slabs and ridiculously long waits of Cold Stone.

Make sure to visit Christina when her new location opens in the coming weeks. She did an amazing job designing my wife’s wedding jewelry last year and should get a lot more foot traffic at the new location.

In regards to ice cream, the superior Jake’s is now the only option on the square. The Dairy Queen on Trinity will soon be redeveloped as part of the “Trinity Triangle”.
