What the world needs now is love.... our latest series

We're starting a new series on one of our favorite subjects - LOVE! I happen to believe that every day should be like Valentine's Day, and, as Cupid is just around the corner, it seemed a great way to begin our latest blogging series.

The delicious chocolate butter cookies above are exclusive to Williams Sonoma and are available via their catalog or Internet only. Here's how they describe these sweet little bites:

"Made with equal measures of love, skill and premium ingredients that include dark Valrhona chocolate, our heart-shaped chocolate butter cookies from Sweet Guy Cookies will charm your valentine. The cookies are prepared, rolled and cut by hand, then decorated in green, pink, aqua and orange and yellow icing, each stamped with the words “Kiss Me,” “Cute,” “Love” or “Flirt.” The 2 1/2" x 2" cookies arrive in a reusable tin. 7 oz. Set of nine."

They are $22 and should be ordered by February 9th to ensure delivery for delivery on Valentine's Day.

However, why not stock up? Consider these love bites any time of the year... as an addition to a sweet little love note left on your sweethearts pillow, to surprise your loved ones in the mail, to drop off on at a colleagues office or even to simply have on hand when friends drop by for tea.


Gosh, I love love.

Heart Art

I found these gorgeous, renowned Salvatore Principe hearts as limited edition glicees. The prints are pigmented ink prints printed on archival canvas. The Glicees are wrapped in a gallery wrap style - resulting in a sculptural type presence. No framing is necessary and each piece is signed and numbered by the artist, with a custom inscription of your choice.

Not only an amazing one-of-a-kind Valentine's Day gift, but what a fabulous find for a special wedding couple, birthday boy (or girl), or great friend.

Gifts from the heart. Mmmmmm. There's nothing better.
