{pavé diamond love knot, finn jewelry via brooklyn bride}
. . . very much smitten with this impossibly sweet glitter garland, perfect for valentine's day, birthdays, or perhaps even, a random sunny wednesday in mid-winter . . .
{you will need:}
a printer, a sheet of white paper, scissors, glue, glitter, a glue gun, some baker’s twine, embroidery thread or satin ribbon, if you like
{one}
print out the words “i love you” in all caps in a font of your choice (here, arial font, black, size 100 pt)
{two}
cut out letters
{three}
apply a generous amount of glue to the front of each letter and sprinkle with glitter (here, red glitter, but pink or gold would also be lovely)
{four}
organize letters glitter side down and backwards, then lay out the length of string or ribbon that you would like
{five}
place a small dot of hot glue at the top of the first letter, and sink the string in; repeat for each letter, ensuring that they are the correct distance apart
{six}
hang somewhere lovely, in a doorway or an archway, perhaps, and expect to be kissed . . .

. . . an entire thirty-three days of the new year has already come and gone, and so far, things are off to a beautiful start -- have somehow, someway, managed to keep all resolutions, and for some long-forgotten {sentimental, perhaps, romantic, for certain} reason, february has always been one of my very favourite months . . .
happy brand new month! hope it is filled with endless love & possibilities,
xo
{p.s.} more tiffany's blue inspiration

. . . never one to look too far ahead, always preferring to stay in the moment, have been noticing {for quite some time now} valentine's day things already all around, and could not help but daydream {just a little}, remembering how simply pretty the palest pink satin ribbon can be . . .

. . . adore the hand-painted poppy red lettering and wonderfully whimsical heart-shaped bouquets of rifle paper co.'s new valentine's collection

. . . completely charmed by this sweet letterpress card in magenta & orange, as perfect for valentine's day as it is for a perfectly lovely mid-january thursday. . .{image: letterpress delicacies via oh so beautiful paper}
Happy Valentine's Day!
Wishing you a beautiful {hopelessly romantic} weekend . . .

{a perfectly lovely way to spend an afternoon}
Nearly Valentine's Day and feeling a little romantic, despite the crazy busy week resulting in terribly sporadic posts -- hopefully things will be more calm soon, and there's always lovely, languid weekends to look forward to . . .
