Disclaimer – I’ve never been one to fall in line with the masses in celebrating the so-called “hallmark” holidays. I don’t think that it’s always the best idea to work yourself up into a froth over a holiday that makes you want to buy tons of stuff to celebrate your loved ones.
BUT – having made that disclaimer, I do think it’s quite lovely to take pause and find a unique and special way to celebrate the sweet lovely people that make up the beautiful collage of your life. Growing up I remember getting Valentines Day presents from my father. I even exchanged gifts with my best friends. It was never anything extravagant. Instead, we always took a moment to get each other something that we knew the other loved. Many times we made things for each other. But always, we took time to write a letter to each other. In these letters, we told each other why we were grateful for our friendship, our time together and all of the little things that create a lifetime of memories.
This Valentines Day, take time to let your dear friends know how much they mean to you. If your life is as busy as mine, the chances of actually making something artsy and creative is limited. (Though it really doesn’t take as much time as you may think.) If you would still like to honor your friends Etsy.com is the perfect place to go to find unique, handmade beautiful treasures to honor your friend this Valentines Day. Here are a few of my picks, I hope you enjoy them.
ZienOnMAin – Made from found beach wood this unique rustic hanging Valentine is a welcomed change from the usual ribbon and lace gifts. The Heart Shaped wall hanging is a thoughtful gift for sea lovers or anyone that enjoys a little texture in their wall art. Will look great in a beach or sea themed room,as a door hanging or wall art and will be appreciated long after Valentine’s Day. Check out the entire shop here.
The Heart measures 18inches (46cm) x 14.5 inches (37cm)
PrinceDesignUK – Each little bird is unique. Their features were individually imprinted and their shapes were cut by hand, by me. They are made from strong textured creamy clay and fired to stoneware temperature, so they are strong, despite their delicate forms. Their pretty features are emphasized by the gorgeous mulberry pink glaze.
At the back they are ready to hang and have a fitting that will easily slot over a picture hook, pin or nail. Each measures approx 4 x 4 inches (10 x 10cm). Visit the entire shop here.
