V-Dazed.

 Do you LOVE Valentine's day? Because I sure don't.

However... I absolutely, 100 and 10% respect you if the big day of *love* gets your gears turning. Really, I do! I have more than one friend who goes all out for the occasion ~ house decorations, candles, chilled wine, boxes of chocolates, romantic dinner. You know, the whole nine. 

I guess I just feel as if the idea of being allowed to love the special people in my life for only one day is inhibiting. If I told you that yesterday, I danced with my love in the living room to an old Van Morrison album, to this song would that be more or less of a loving act than attending a fancy dinner wearing a red dress? You see my point now, YES? Okay... GOOD. Whew, I feel better knowing that I've gotten that off of my chest! EVERY day is a good time for some lovin', if you know what I mean. And I think you do...

Of course, please don't feel as if I'm negating Valentine's Day at all. In fact, I have set up a special sale for the big day in my Etsy shop. Just use the coupon code VDAZE2011 (I couldn't help myself, sorry), and get 10% off of your order until the 14th of February. Yay!!! Who doesn't like a sale for new treasures, right?

I even made a few new gems for the big event. Want to see? Of course you do...

'Waterfall' Earrings ~ A discovery of the force of love.

'Ice Queen' ~ The love, trickery, & escape of a young boy.

'Sweet Tarts' Earrings ~ A sweet and sour kind of love.

'Rock & Key' ~ Love... an act of faith.

'Conversation Hearts' ~ A reminiscent kind of candy.

  

And finally... a special piece dedicated to my hero...

Lillie Blooms ~ The *special* love of a grandmother.

 

Okay, that's all for now. Except... hold on a sec... oh yeah...

S.W.A.K. ~ Lip makeup design by my adorable friend, Karina Cruz. Here's her Facebook M.A.C. photo album! Enjoy, my lovelies... XOXO
