V-Day DIY

Happy Valentines Day, everyone!

Unfortunately, the Valentine season didn't leave me a lot of extra time to dedicate to crafting. I did, however, manage to eek out one teeny tiny project inspired by Camilla at Family Chic.

For this project I used an extra wire hanger and about two feet of red, 4 ply yarn. I tied it off on each end and found it easiest to start from the end of the "e" and move backwards.

It's just a simple little touch to our mantle but I was happy to have a little red to show for this Valentines Day.

I hope everyone enjoys their day and finds a fun way to celebrate all the types of love in your life!

Treats for your Sweets

Looking for a tasty treat for your sweetie this year? Here are a few of my favorite Etsy bake shops for Valentines yumminess. 

Whipped Bake Shop

The treats from whipped are what I would consider some serious foodie art. Check out the Delft Tile cookies below and I think you'll get the picture. Literally.

Glittery Mustache Cookies

Birdcrumbs

While French Macaroons might be the latest craze, I love Birdcrumbs' take on the more rustic and North American style coconut macaroon. Lemon and lavender, Chai Masala? Yep. Just thinking about these flavors makes my mouth water!

The Cupcake Mint

If you're up for something along the vegan route- do I have a bake shop for you. The Cupcake Mint specializes in vegan treats and honestly, I think I'd pick them over non-vegan any day. Their creative flavors and stunning presentation absolutely wins me over!
