Backyard Bliss

It's dusk, and Momma wants a drink! Who else but this loving and careful steward of family, home, and blooming victory garden deserves to sit out on her deck, surveying her handiwork with satisfaction and a sigh? And yet where will she rest her glinting tumbler of gin and tonic, spiced with a fresh-squeezed organic lime? (Okay, all you finger-shakers, make that a cup of hot and aromatic jasmine tea.) Get the woman some chairs and a table! For Sprig's Be Good to Mom Week, we recommend the somewhat unorthodox (yet no less gratifying) gift of Atuto handcrafted garden furniture. The Lili chair, $195, can do double-duty in a small foyer, while the Provence Garden chair and table (not pictured, each $198) will make her feel like she's sitting in Southern France. And since a mother's work is never done, if she decides that a nightcap on the patio is what she wants, she can add extra ambiance with these statement-making column candle-holders, which are $148 each for ones that are 48” tall.
