File this under the Are You Serious, It’s Really Free? category. The lovely and talented Carolynn of Two Brunettes has created this stunner of a valentine for you to download and send. Matching envelope and all. I think I may have just found my valentines!
This heavy duty citrus juicer makes me want to open a lemonade stand. Or at least start drinking fresh squeezed OJ every morning.
Inspired by French apothecary packages, these labels are printed on newsprint to mimic the faded look of the originals. (Although I believe tea-staining would work wonderfully as well.) You can download them to make your own for some sweet Valentine’s Day treats!
This week I’m really stoked to share the artistic talents of Haley of Bread of Many, a D.C. transplant now living abroad in Cambridge, England. I love the raw quality of all of Haley’s illustrations, clean but not too polished. Real.
This week she’s gifting one of you with a set of HUSH note cards (as seen the Winter 2010 issue of Vogue Knitting). Six flat note cards with matching envelopes, featuring an illustration of a little girl knitting sweetly in the corner. Perfect for sending a note or jotting down a quick list.

It felt great to get back to regular blogging this week after almost a month of haphazard posts. Thanks for waiting out the flu and two Christmases with me!
You may have noticed one sizable change here over the past week: The Daily Eat is no longer with us. After a year and half I’ve decided it was time to take things in a fresher direction.

My favorites from the past week (and maybe a few from the week before that, too!)…
