A Double Dose of Valentine's Day Roses

Somehow, I ended up with, not one, but TWO bouquets of roses for Valentine's Day. Lucky me! It seems Nate's online order was filled twice, by two different floral vendors. The double order has led the security guard here at work to believe I live a double life, with two boyfriends! All of these lovely roses are going to give me a bad reputation...ha :)

 
Not the best photo ever, but you get the idea. Isn't it interesting to see how two different vendors interpreted the same arrangement? I decided I will bring one vase home and leave the other at work. Then I can look at them all week long, no matter where I'm at!

Happy Valentine's Day to those who celebrate and Crappy Suckentine's Day to those who don't!

What a Girl Loves - Valentine Love Part 2

This week WaGL is back with more picks inspired by Valentine's Day. From some sweet delights to candles to pencils, there is a little bit of everything this week (sorry for the randomness)!

First up are some adorable Love Is engraved pencils from Olive Mamma. What a fun way to send the message of love to a child.

 

Another fun idea for the little ones, a Robot Love T-shirt from I Married Mr. Rogers.

 

Cheesy, but just way to cute not to share, the You Complete Me couples t-shirt set by Bold Loft.

 

I'm a sucker for all things Philosophy, and their Sending my Love bath and shower duo is no exception!

 

A unique way to send a message of love, the lovely Let Him Know garland by Haru.

 Or perhaps your loved one would enjoy some yummy Sweetheart Buttons from the talented Baked by Joanna. Don't they look delicious?!

How about this wonderfully scented Love Struck candle by Gold Canyon Candles to set the mood? (Found here). Ps. Gold Canyon makes the BEST scented candles! :)

This lovely Blooming Red Rose necklace from My Konos would make a wonderful gift for giving...or for keeps!

Another cute little freebie I came across, owl themed bookmarks and Valentines from Living Locurto.

 

And, last, but not least, if you're looking for a cute little embellishment to top off your homemade Valentine gift, look no further than the Pink Passion Blooms and Ribbon & Trim from Green Horned Unicorn (you knew I just HAD to throw that in somewhere, right?!). 

Thanks for stopping by! WaGL will be back next week with Valentine picks fresh from the world of Etsy :)

What a Girl Loves - Valentine Love

As promised WaGL is FINALLY back! Sorry for missing the last couple of weeks, I've been quite the busy little bee. This week's picks are all about love and sharing that message with those we hold near and dear to our hearts.

First up, this lovely letterpress card from Sweet Harvey's:

Next we have these cute, and affordable printable cards from Three Wheel Designs:

Another cute and economical option, these super-cute owl cards from Bitsy's Greetings.  

This has to be the cutest Valentine idea I've seen in a while, Valentine fortunes from PrettyfnMess: 

While the first four options are all adorable in their own rights, and are very friendly on the pocket book, the next picks have a one-up on them...they are FREE! I must say, how awesome and generous of all of these designers are to share such lovely delights with us!

First, from the ever fabulous Danielle Thompson are the adorable fox and panda themed "Because nothing says I love you" printable cards. You can download them from her post here.

Found on the How About Orange blog, these adorable, printable goodie bags:

 

For boys and for girls, two different sets of printable Valentines from the Simply Handmade blog:
