Happy Valentines Day!

My Valentines Day is pretty tame this year. I have a migraine and work and wedding planning have kept my dearest and I far too busy and cash conscious for too much frivolity... We were going to make a nice dinner together but since I'm not feeling well we've decided it's going to be our favourite sushi take out while watching The Tudors (season 2, my V-day gift from Steve). We'll make a nice meal together and eat in when he gets back from the business trip he's going on next week. I made him a gift as well... I've told him it exists but I'm going to give it to him for his weeklong business trip... He can open it on Monday when he leaves. Maybe I can get some snaps of that up here later.

Very unfortunately, my silk wedding bouquet flower order fell through. The bouquets I fell in love with are discontinued and unavailable! I think it's pretty bad practice to have products listed on your site that are simply unavailable for purchase. At the very least, provide custumers with a means to check how many of an item are in stock! I found some more bouquets I liked and again, they were unavailable. I decided to order loose silk stems and sprays and assemble my own bouquets. I was able to order lots of fabulous flowers, all the types and colours and sizes I want! However it's been 15 days since my order and the site I ordered from has taken my money but have yet to process my order. Arghhhhh!!

I'm hooked on etsy now though! Since I discovered etsy and blogged about it I've checked their site daily. There's a lot of wonderful handmade stuff as well as oodles of vintage finds....

Some of my favorite finds:

A peacock patterened clutch lined in dupioni silk with an antiqued brass finish:A hand emboidered black and hot pink clutch:Steampunk vintage deco style earrings:
Some peanut butter and jelly felted earrings:A zebra cowhide clutch bag:
And this a-MA-zing off white leather fringe bag:
