Seeing Hearts

Happy Valentine's Day!

Are you celebrating this year? Do you have special plans today? In past years I maybe didn't like Valentine's Day so much, but nowadays I rather like it. Not because of my relationship status (it's been a long time since I wasn't in a relationship!) but because of the commercial, cheesy romance aspect of it. But as one of our customers remarked the other day about her favorite holiday, "What's not to love about pink, pretty things and chocolate?" I quite agree!

I got a late start on handmade Valentines as I was sparked by inspiration just days before I needed to send them. That said, I made a very limited edition, so my apologies if you didn't receive one from me this year. Beginning with the idea of "seeing hearts" I decided to make a series with iconic eyewear! Each Valentine features a favorite bespectacled icon with a coordinating phrase "eyechart" on the back.

To show you the whole set and make it a little more fun, I've created a little matching game below! Take a stab at matching the eyewear to the appropriate phrase. Answers will be at the bottom! ;)

1. Buddy Holly 2. Edith Head 3. John Lennon

4. Noam Chomsky 5. Woody Allen 6. Kanye Wet

7. IM Pei 8. Andy Warhol

However you may (or may not) be celebrating, have a lovely Valentine's Day! I will be holding tight to my own all-year-round Valentine and most likely enjoying some chocolate. Really, I barely need the excuse.
