Love is love.

It’s been a minute! But of course I couldn’t miss out on posting one of my favourite round-ups of the year with the day of love just around the corner. Valentine’s Day is almost here, a way to honour love and strengthen the bond between loved ones and which also happens to be a favourite around here. As tradition has it,  I’ve mined the Internets for some of the most adorable Valentine’s cards that have crossed my radar recently. Spread Love: 50 Adorable Cards for Every Valentine.

And while on the subject of love. I just want to say, love is love. Let’s just let people love who they want to love.

And to those where Valentine’s Day can evoke different emotions other than happy, or if it’s too commercialized for you, I see you. My main focus for this post is to positively support and celebrate the handmade maker featuring beautiful stationery during this season.

Let’s take a look!
