I’m not sure what it is about this fantastic Celtic Crow/Raven card from Red Maple Studios that makes me love it so, but I do. Note the Celtic knots in the shamrock leaves.

I adore this Dichroic Fused Glass Four Leaf Clover Pendant by glasfuzion. It shows off the shamrock with subtle style.

These Playful Shamrock cards from bdoodlez are just adorable. What a sweet way to send greetings to your friends, whether they’re Irish or not.

This pretty shamrock headband from MaidenJane will help you keep your hair out of your beer when you’re celebrating.

I am in LOVE with this romantic map of Paris made entirely from etched copper by the inimitable Chris of Copper Leaf Studios.

Who wouldn’t adore this irresistible heart charm bracelet by SusanK Jewelry?

Everyone loves cheese! And I LOVE this photo by the amazing Susan of photohale, who travels the world over to find the perfect subjects for her incredible photos.

Need an answer? Tell him to RSVP with this great one of a kind gentlemen’s pin by the clever Mary of the Vintage Brooch Company.

You can’t always be there to warm her up, so keep her cozy with these yummy Mulberry mittens by Tricia, the crochet maven of LazyTCrochet.

She’s not a blingy sort of girl and you love her for that! So forget the diamonds and go for pure modern art. I have a thing for this stamped hug and kiss necklace by the multitalented Lori Paximadis, and so will your valentine.

With these fun upcycled patches you can always have a heart on for her! (Did I really say that!?) There’s always good clean environmental friendly fun to be had at zJayne, where Jane Pierce transforms ordinary old t-shirts into functional, fabulous treasures!

Trust me . . . give your special valentine a dozen roses in this gorgeous purple vase by the extraordinary Gina DeSantis, and you will get lucky for sure on the eve of Feb. 14th!

Happy browsing, friends!
With love,
SToNZ from the creative North Coast!

These beautiful soy candles from Terra Verde Soap & Candle Company are a modern and environmentally friendly way to create a romantic mood. I love that they’re poured into reclaimed wine bottles. ($22 per candle)

I adore charm necklaces, and this one from Simple Elements Design is one of the prettiest I’ve seen. Quartz, garnet, and freshwater pearl charms are set off by a simple but unusual square sterling silver toggle. ($47)

This gorgeous ivory wool and mohair shawl from LazyTcrochet combines knitting, crochet, and felting techniques. It would be stunning over a simple black dress. ($48)

Layers are all the rage, and this funky multichain bracelet/necklace from SToNZ makes my heart go pitter-pat.

It can be worn as a multistrand necklace or wound around your wrist to make a bracelet. ($250)
