This will be my last post for the week. I hope all of you have a beautiful Valentine's Day! Even if you are single, eat some chocolates and shed some love to your friends.
And so now I would like to share some of my favorite love songs. Just because.
(Note: I just noticed that the Smiths video was linked to the wrong song! It is fixed now.)

I have seen these posted quite a few places around the internet, but I felt like I should share them too since I am all about adorable free items. Today these ultra cute and hip Kate Spade valentines were launched, each one designed by a different artist. Too cool for school.
This time of year is usually rough for me. Winter always seems like it has lasted too long and spring seems to be just around the corner, yet still a bit out of reach. Needless to say, I am craving spring like crazy lately. And to make it even harder on myself, I am staring at all the beautiful pastel and floral clothing that just makes me want to scream, springtime, get here now.

I have been flipping between these desktop wallpapers from valerydesignwrks for some time now. I love the bold colors and simple, sweet designs. (P.S: There are also iPhone/iPod ones available!)
I really, really love them a whole lot. Is anyone seeing them play tonight in Portland? (I realize that this post isn't really design-related, but sometimes I like sharing other things. Plus, I adore the photographs of them.)
Can you tell that I'm a bit obsessed with looking at pretty interiors lately? (All images from Shootspaces.)
An unexpected photo mosaic today - I usually save these for Fridays, but I already have one planned for this week. Also, these ladies are inspiring and I cannot stop looking at all the photos.

On Saturday I was here along with twelve other local creative ladies. We had ourselves an adventure with lots of laughter and a whole lotta cameras. You can view my images from the day here, or the group photographs over here (which I'm sure will be filled with many photos within the next week or so.)
Oh, you must know that I am madly in love with today's freebie, which was just put up this morning on Twig & Thistle. The lovely Kathleen designed Printable Apple Pie Boxes, made for tiny pies and just in time for Valentine's Day (though I must say, these would make a wonderful gift any time of the year.) Might I suggest using this recipe or Martha's?
