Let the Sun Shine In.
I love a good dreary rain-filled day, but I also love seeing the sun shining. Like this 16 x 20″ Let the Sun Shine In poster from Slide Sideways.

KenzieKate Wedding Invitations.
I’ve been meaning to post about the amazing/beautiful/stunning wedding invitations at KenzieKate for at least a month now. But I really couldn’t say enough about them if I tried. I love their modern, fresh take on design. Like adding a patterned backside as well as experimentation with envelopes and adornments. In other words, yeah, I’m sold.

The Known Practice Of Using Domesticated Bears As Cushions While Drinking.
I want this print horribly, horribly badly. I’ve had it bookmarked for a few weeks and every time I come across it again it brings a huge smile to my face!

The design behind this business card for Hilary Carruthers Garden Design is brilliant.

Lovebirds.
Lovebirds feels so wintery and cozy. I love the muted colors and feathery details of this second edition print that’s based on the artist’s original watercolor.

Letterpressed Quotes.
As you’ve probably figured out by now, I’m big on quotes. These limited edition letterpressed quotes from Bespoke are tickling my fancy. (Get your mind out of the gutter!) Better hurry and grab one – they’re both limited edition runs of fifty.

My Valentines.
This year I decided to go old school with my valentines. As in the cut and paste variety. About a month ago I bought the sweetest plate at Target featuring these two little love birds and decided to rip off the idea (*gasp*). But rest assured that the actual pattern making, cutting and pasting were all the work of yours truly!

RoundUp: Valentine’s Day Gifts, Ideas + Stuff.
World’s Smallest Postal Service.
Here’s how it works: You write a letter and I transcribe it onto tiny stationary (1 x 1.5 inches) with a magical transcription device. It then goes into a tiny envelope which gets addressed, stamped, and sealed with a miniscule wax seal with your initial on it. The letter then goes into a see-through folded coin case and is packaged up with a magnifying glass in a larger glassine envelope, finished off with a large “World’s Smallest Letter” wax seal. It is then put in a sturdy mailer for shipping.
Two of a Kind. (via Josh Spear)
Many rings have been exchanged that symbolize a bond between two people… but few come close to the Two of the Kind ring in the romance department. Delivered in one piece, it’s meant to be broken by you and a loved one into two, perfectly matched rings. That way, when together, you really do “complete each other”.
Nice Dream Pink 1/2 Pint Mug. (via Ill Seen, Ill Said)

La La Love You poster. (via perfectbound)
“All I’m sayin’ pretty baby…” This 11″ w by 17″ h poster features a lyric from everybody’s favorite indie-surf mutants, the Pixies. Light aqua blue with magenta and white type and a cute little heart on the bottom.
Heart-shaped paper clips.
A piece-of-cake Valentine project: bend regular paper clips into little heart shapes.
Custom Silver Bracelet.
Go ahead – say something sweet in sterling silver. Our custom bracelets are expertly cast and hand-stamped with your message.

My Life Story.
I love the idea of one diary for your entire life. Baby book, journals, keepsakes – all in one book, in one place. My Life Story – the 100 year diary – does just that for you. I imagine it would be fantastically tattered and worn by the end…

Able and Game’s Valentines.
Even though I hadn’t yet seen these snazzy valentines from Able and Game when I posted the roundup, these totally deserve their own shout out. Loving the descriptions for each card! (No worries, they’re blank on the inside.)
Description:
So I got your mix tape, it kinda rocked my world. The fact that you included The Smiths, The Cure makes me all warm inside, however this may not show on my sullen, depressed face. Oh and I also love Kate Bush by the way; just don’t tell any of my friends.
Description:
Okay, I have a confession to make; there is nobody else on the list!
Description:
You’re All Sorts of Lovely. You wash my clothes; cook me my dinner and rent Bring It On on DVD when I’m feeling unwell.
Description:
How else, besides getting married are we going to prove our love? Signing both our names on an 18-month interest free loan says you’re in it for long haul baby. The only thing we need to decide on is front loader or top???
