Love the cherry blossom petit fours, epecially! They were featured on Martha Stewart a bit ago, but we thought these pretty pink pastries needed a review.
Rawr! Onesies on the loose!
Dinosaurs, and roosters, and elephants, oh my! These adorable onesies are from local San Francisco Etsy shop Color Tree. Check out the full menagerie here.
Felted, Crocheted Animals
Prepare yourself for some intense cuteness... we thought we'd indulge ourselves a little for Valentine's Day. We have a nostalgic weakness for crocheted stuffed animals. But then, the felted ones are a double-whammy of adorability (pardon the new word.)
Oh heavens! So cute! We have to share our Beaver Love for Valentine's Day.
A chenile duckie! We can't decide which is our favorite. But how great are these for a baby shower, or for a new arrival?
MillieFern on Etsy made these— they are some of the best we've seen. And of course, I bet you might find or commission a sock monkey.

Lynette Andreasen's Metalwork and Jewelry
Adore Lynette Andreasen's work! She incorporates embroidery into a lot of her metal sculpture and jewelry. Love the contrast of textures.
Embroidered flowers on a pewter plate. Gorgeous and utterly fascinating! Want it!
That would be quite a piece to wear out on Valentine's Day, no?
Love the shadow, the silhouette and the softness of the fibers.
This one reminds us a touch of Joel Dewberry's Ironwork and Architecture designs. Love, love!
Sock Monkey hat
Perhaps not terribly shocking given our love for sock monkeys, but we are pretty enamored with this Sock Monkey hat.

Jude Turns 1!!
Eunice's little boy, Jude, is turning 1! Check out these super cute invitations she designed for his circus themed party...
Stay tuned for photos of the party itself! There are rumors of clown noses and a ring of (felt) fire for the babies to crawl through - feats of daring, ahoy!
Marzipan, anyone?
We were just thinking about how much we love marzipan. So tasty, so gastronomically superior to fondant.
But marzipan is one of those things that can be done really well, or can just as easily fall off the wagon into the territory of hyper-kitsch. We would like to see some cake makers bring back the art of marzipan sculpture. See how charming marzipan can be?
How 'bout them apples!?
Aren't they just edible?! (Why yes, yes they are.)
Perhaps they could be made in the style of our new Heirloom Harvest, or Lavender Harvest wedding invitation suites?

Real Wedding: Chelsea & Scott
We had the great pleasure of creating the stationery for Chelsea & Scott's gorgeous wedding held at Black Swan Lake...to be married under a weeping willow on the banks of a lake...just dreamy!
The invitation suite...
Every detail was so elegant and thoughtful - love the way these escort cards came together...
Such a sweet couple - how cute was their Flowery Fields photo save the date?
These beautiful photos were taken by Lisa Lefkowitz. More photos and details to be found on her site as well as on Snippet & Ink...

Yarn Wrapped Bottles in Bride's Magazine!
Speaking of the Yarn Wrapped Bottles project from Handmade Weddings, it was featured the latest issue of Bride's! Woot!

Full instructions here. Via Creature Comforts.
Jennifer Behr for Anthropologie / BHLDN
We thought that this fab head band looked familiar! Turns out, our great friend Jennifer Behr, has a few pieces in the new Anthropologie collection, like this one, originally designed for Eunice's wedding!
Now we are even more excited to see BHLDN given that Jenn is the queen of fabulous hair accoutrements!
Valentine's Cup of Tea
Esther Aart's darling new Valentine card, Cup of Tea made us think of the beautiful, handmade ceramic work of Sam Chung.
Love the cloud cups. And the graphic style. And the gleaming porcelain.
If you'd like to see more of Sam's work, look here.
And there are more brand new Valentine's day card designs to choose from, here.
