aw yes, valentines day! one of my most favorite holidays. what could be more special than celebrating the love in your life? it’s only about 3 weeks away, which means it’s time to think about ordering any special valentine’s day goodies, so they arrive in time for your special occasion. instead of browsing you nearest super store for a valentine’s day card this year, why not support the handmade community with a handmade valentine’s day card? (they’re way cuter anyways!) here are some of my favorites:

eco friendly robot card - $4.50

you are the peanut butter to my jelly – $4.00

happy, friday! here’s to wishing you love and light over the weekend! i’m headed to vegas for a spa convention (for my new little day job) so i’ve been busy getting things together for the trip. what are you doing this weekend? here’s to hoping for sunshine and warmth, and always remember: love lives here and now.

i think this mixed media print by lucia johnson is so sweet. is that a little fawn i see snuggled in there? to me, nothing says love like eternally intertwined antlers.

you can also see more of her work at noveltiques, i especially love this bed frame she painted. :)

{free your mind by katie daisy}

“I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.”

-Unkown

i’m not sure how you’re feeling today, but this puts words to a feeling that i’ve had for a few days now. i want to spread light today.

i know valentine’s day is over but love is still in the air, right? laura george’s shop is just oozing with love and i can’t get enough of it! with octopuses holding hands, squishy people being cute and beards full of love, it made my morning full of hearts and giggles.

dear mr. valentine,

here’s my goofy way to telling you how much i love you. you are the creamer to my coffee, the most comfy pair of shoes on my favorite run, the chirping birds to a sunny day. you are the best cuddler. the best at folding my laundry. and the BEST at making me laugh. you are the most wonderful man i’ve ever known and i am completely in love with you.

love, your valentine
