---> Is it summer or winter??

Hi Everyone!

Are you all ready for Passover? I will be hosting my 3rd Passover Seder and I'm very excited! My brother and kids will be in from Maine, my cousins and kids will be in from England, and lots of local family. I'm looking forward to a great week!

New Artist Nina Bonos!

SEE ALL JEWISH GREETING CARDS

I am very excited to introduce you to Nina Bonos - a very talented watercolor artist who makes Jewish greeting cards out of her magnificent, vibrant, jewel-toned paintings. I met Nina at the Philadelphia Buyers Market of American Craft in February, and she is a sweet, passionate lady. She has four collections of general Jewish greeting cards plus a set of Rosh Hashanah cards and a set of Chanukah cards. Each set contains 8 cards for $24 and shipping is free. For this week only, get $5 off each set - use coupon code NB5. Her Jewish greeting cards are perfect to use when writing thank-you cards or a birthday card, and they make a great gift for Mother's Day, a birthday, or any occasion. On the back of each card, Nina wrote a meaningful description of the painting. Check out her entire collection.

Risa's Wrap-up
Where did this cold weather come from? Last week here in New York it was in the high 70's and today I'm freezing in my winter jacket. On Friday, my neighbor opened her pool and kids were swimming! In March!!! My backyard is filled with daffodils, the cherry blossom trees have bloomed, the birds are tweeting like crazy and Spring was totally in the air! I feel a little out of wack since all this is supposed to happen in about 6-8 weeks, but I love it!

Have a great week and have an AWESOME PASSOVER! Please keep in touch. Follow me on Twitter @jewishgiftplace, or on Facebook. If you send me a tweet, I'll tweet you back!
