Friday Favorites: Will You Be My Valentine?
>> Friday, January 29, 2010
I know Valentine's Day is still weeks away, but if you're still thinking should I or shouldn't I do something for myself and others for Valentines Day, let me help you out with some inspiration.
Who can say no to something sweet? Do something other than a heart shaped box of chocolates and give out these Sweetie Pies
of this caramel toffee
Oh, OK if you must add in this box of chocolate truffles... YUM!
Give out lovely valentines like this
or any of these
duet letterpress 
wiley valentine
egg press
Instead of bouquets of flowers think about these Bulb Bamboo Grow Boxes plus it's sustainable and come in Peppermint Amaryllis, Chocolate Amaryllis or Paperwhites.
Valentine's Day is really just one love-filled day. Here are some pretty things that you can use to celebrate, and you won't look crazy if you break them out 6 months from now.
If you're baking up cupcakes for a party or your sweetie this cupcake stand would be a perfect way to display all those sweet treats.
Wouldn't these be lovely to give as a gift to a friend, or yourself. Perfect for a Alice in Wonderland themed tea party too.
Well, lovelies I hope you get a little inspiration from these valentine themed goodies. Have a wonderful Friday.
Get Crafty for Valentine's Day

Ok, let's be real--who isn't on a budget and if you're still searching for budget friendly ways to share your love, well there's a few smashing ideas that may peek your interest.
Nothing says love like baking. I saw these oh so cute packaging ideas and thought this is such a creative Valentine to deliver to friends or family. Whether you have the talent to bake from scratch or by the box doesn't matter but think of these cute ideas when it comes to the presentation. Both come from twig and thistle, and they both look delicious!

The Book of Love... letters that is
>> Monday, February 2, 2009
Remember that book in the Sex and The City movie Love Letters of Great Men? Well, shortly after the movie's release I remember reading that people were traveling to their local book store looking for this book only to learn it didn't really exist. Well, now the book exist and just in time for Valentine's Day. Besides who doesn't love a good love story or love letter.
Will You Be My Valentine?
>> Monday, January 26, 2009
I remember when I was in elementary school we'd take a part of the day to not only create a Valentine's day cards for our friends, family and classmates but we'd also make a stylish bag that would hang in the classroom until Valentines Day when we would exchange all those lovely handmade cards. While none of us are in elementary school, the sentiment can still mean just as much when friends, family and secret crushes receive a Valentine in the mail. Need some inspiration? Here's a few favorites...

Sweetie Pies
>> Thursday, January 22, 2009
This will be the first of a few Valentine's Day post so if you're looking for an idea, send some sweetie pies to your own sweetie, and I'm sure the will love every delicious heart-shaped whoopie pie in the box.
Who doesn't love Ruffles?
>> Thursday, January 15, 2009
There are two things I'm in love with right now. Ruffles and cake pedestals. This ruffled pedestal is a perfect combination wouldn't you agree? Use it for Valentines Day, a Wedding, or any wonderful event.
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

You can say it with chocolate

Chocolate + Valentines Day = Sweet Love. If you think the classic chocolate filled heart-shaped box wrapped in red is cliche, and you have time and plenty of baking skill...think about this oh so sweet alternatives {and you won't have to play that half-eaten guessing game to discover your favorites}
PS.This delightful dessert requires, time, patience and the ability to not eat everything before it's baked ;)

Baking not your thing? Try these chocolate alternatives.

All You Need is Love

I love the concept behind Civilities by Greer Chicago. The cards are designed to be given to others in hopes that they pass them on to someone else. The valentine inspired "civilities" allow you to spread the love and and ask others to pass it along. Go ahead and make someones day with a unexpected love note and then ask them to do the same.

Words of Love
>> Wednesday, February 6, 2008
Express your love for your sweetie with a poem from this collection of love poems by Pablo Neruda. I spotted this at one of my favorite local stores Paper Skyscraper and just swooned over its loveliness. Find a card or make a card and fill the inside with Neruda's lovely words and your valentine will feel truly romanced by love. {if you need chocolate go ahead and throw it in but the words are really enough}
Sweet Love

Well Valentines day is coming and why not give your sweetie and those you love sweet treats made from the heart. This heart-shaped cupcake tin would be perfect.
If you're in need of a recipe, try this Sprinkles Cupcake Mix {like red velvet}
Top them off with delicious frosting {sprinkles cupcake mix will provide you frosting suggestions} and these adorable toppers.
If you want to make something other than cupcakes, make some muffins. Either way it's a sweet treat.
