What do I want this Valentine's day?

Oh husband... you would be so awesome if you showed me you remembered V-day AND our anniversary if you bought me a Dalla Nonna Calendar wrap bracelet (rose gold for me please).

Give your beau a hint (or get this for Mother's day - hey, it's already February! Before you know it, May is here... these in silver also make delicious bridesmaids gifts!).

Check out some more fantastic sweets for your sweets!

First Row: For your spoiled Valentine - treat him or her to The Romantic Cupckae Collection from Saks Fifth Ave a divine assortment of 12 cupcakes topped with pennants expressing sentiments of love and packaged in a beautiful pink argyle gift box or a box of chocolates from Noka Chocolate featuring rare, single-estate solid dark chocolate from the finest regions of the world (75% cacao from selected plantations in Venezuela, Ecuador, Cote d'lvoire and Trinidad comes complete with flavor profiles and tasting instructions!

Second Row: Eleni's Cookies need I say more? Get the classic heart sugar cookies or their sweet "head over heels" gift box.

Third Row: For the purists, I love Black Hound New York's baked treats and truffles. From shortbread-fruit filled options to classic mini cakes, Black Hound is a solid vendor for tasty desserts.

Fourth Row: For your wanderlust lover, take them on a journey to Japan with goodies from Kyotofu like Miso Choko Brownies to their special Hugs and Kisses gift package that includes pink Hou Hou Shu Sparkling Sake (300ml), a slightly sweet Japanese champagne flavored with hibiscus and rosehip, with 10 rich, decadent heart-shaped Miso Chocolate Brownies and 24 Green Tea Nama Chocolates (akin to a Japanese Fudge).

Last but not least - shop one of my favorite shops - Kate's Paperie for V-day wooden post cards and DIY vintage Valentine's kits!

Valentine's Day Treats

That's right, it's time to start brainstorming your baking(or shopping) plans for V-day treats. Will it be "XO" Hugs and Kisses smores from William Sonoma? Heart-shaped French Macarons or chocolate-dipped Madeleines perhaps? Will you be whipping up some red velvet cupcakes with Barefoot Tessa's mix (soooo good!! I love Sprinkle's mix also, but I'd have to go with this one!)?

Start looking around at William Sonoma's and Sur La Table's Vday shop!

Vintage Farmhouse

2010-01-12T18:33:05Z

The farmhouse look has been making it's mark a few seasons now, but while past seasons companies like Pottery Barn, West Elm and CB2 were bringing urban-industrial chic touches to farm-theme accessories - this Winter-Early Spring, Pottery Barn is doing farmhouse - vintage style...Swoon! The look is very rustic - but in a pretty way...kinda like someone's raided all of grannie's attic goodies.

Let these inspire you or shop PB now!

I will be getting myself a set of 3 galvanized pails for all my arrangements this Winter - they're $15 for three - how fabulous? And how can I resist anything chalkboard? Hang these up or use them for a divine cheese/appetizer platter.

Come back tomorrow for more on new and gorgeous farmhouse inspiration!
