Since going to "flower school" in January, I'm now spending the week before Valentine's Day working in a flower shop... it smells like spring every day and it's wonderful. Like a happy little daydream from nine to five until next Tuesday. Just greening, greening, greening, and answering some phones. Other than that, my Valentine's day will be all about making homemade dinner with vino, and giving some homemade valentines.
Hopefully you all have someone to show some LOVE to this year... whether it's a significant other, a sibling, a neighbor, or a good friend. For all the v-day haters out there who think it's just a "Hallmark Holiday," here's a way you can celebrate without selling out... give some LETTERPRESS LOVE! Support your local letterpress artists (I swear, they're out there waiting for you to find them) and give truly unique, impressive (pun intended) love notes this year to those you care about most.
Here are some of my favorites:
Something with a sense of humor?
Something bold and modern?

Something... Italian and Sing-a-ble? Or just classic?
So, a very Happy Valentine's Day to you.
Love, Me.
