Mother’s Day is sooner than you may want to admit; in fact, for most online retailers, you’re nearing the drop-dead date when it comes to shipping deadlines. But fret not: Etsy artisans are bringing their handmade wares to Boston for a Mother’s Day pop-up at the Arsenal Project in Watertown. RELATED:10 ways to get on the water this spring More than 30 Etsy-based makers and entrepreneurs will set up temporary shop in the communal arts and shopping workspace, so you can snag a unique and thoughtful gift for mom without hounding your mailman every day of the week. Most of the makers will be on-hand to explain their goodies, meaning you can tell mom the backstory of her everlasting paper floral bouquet from Norton’s Flowers by Nini, or recycled dinosaur toy succulent planters from Westfield’s Plantcycled.
