with a little pinch of love!
With Valentine day's drawing to a close, the displays of affection are wrapped up in words in all the gorgeous shops and malls from poetry to the love songs of pop stars. With so many Valentines' symbols ~ i must say that the heart remains a familiar symbol that requires little explanation. It sends a message loud and clear no matter what is your intended sentiment ~ romance, friendship, or the tender bond between family members and love ones.
This coming Valentine's day, instead of giving out sweet candy treats to love ones and friends, i'm planning to warm the entire clan with tea time treat bags by adding packs of handwritten note to each tea bags {i'm thinking of heart-shaped tea-bag tags} and alongside with a lovely sweet teaspoon to keep each one devour, happy, in mere minutes. Best of all, each offering will speak volumes, leaving the subtext to me! I am so very happy with this delightful gift idea.
So happy that i am extra, extra glad, and smitten i also have {to offer} some of these in limited quantities ~ findings of cuteness {light weighted teaspoons} ~ for my little shop up my sleeve. I'll be adding them to the shop soon for some splash of fun.
Before i head back to work, i have really enjoyed reading each of the lovely comments sent my way after i released my first SoCuteItHurts simple tutorial. You guys are kind, supportive, excited and i'm thrilled to know you stop by this space. Thrilled. You guys are really something! Thank you so kindly!
Hope your weekend was nice and you stayed very cozy and warm. Wishing you a bright and merry happy week ahead! Lots of love to you and yours.

I love all the little details and colors on these teaspoons. They remind me of something from Alice in Wonderland.

What a sweet post! And what sweet teaspoons! Your whole shop is just too cute, I have had my eye on the pin cushion for awhile now, it has been sitting in my favorites! My weekend started out well, but has ended with 2 sick children! I hope yours was good!

This is a fantastic project, and a great idea (much better than flowers that die or chocolate!).
I like your valentine's sentiments, too - love for everyone! You're always so positive and cheerful, it's great to always read your posts.
