The Insatiable Shopper


Scouting the marketplace with Joy Kraft

Now that we have Easter tucked away, it's not too early to think about Mother's Day in two quick weeks. A never-miss idea for most moms and grand moms is a photo of one - or all - the kids. But why limit snapshots to frames propped on a desk or hung on a wall? Here are three nifty ideas for having loved ones at your fingertips.

Brighton Collectibles will make your favorite snap part of its two best-selling handbag styles, the Virginia and Vanessa. The Virginia (shown) has a woven frame, $270. The Vanessa uses a larger photo on both sides of the bag, $200. The process takes about two weeks at Brighton's California factory, so order soon at Brighton in Kenwood Towne Centre, 791-7780.

Set of four cherry or walnut coasters from Uncommon Goods puts a conversation piece at your fingertips. Each disc has a removable sleeves for a 1 3/4 -inch-by-2 1/2-inch photo and four tiny feet to keep your drink steady. $30 at Web site; (888) 365-0056. A portion of every sale goes to your choice of four nonprofit organizations.
