YUM. Totally making these this weekend. I’m going to try Mel’s recipe, which is an adaptation of Martha’s (the photo above is from Martha). Have a wonderful weekend, friends!

I adore a good tiny house, don’t you? Of course, tiny is relative, but I think all of these gems are unified by their cuteness factor.

That last one is my favorite. I just want to squeeze it!!

Upsides to small houses? Less to clean, generally less expensive, lower utility bills, general adorableness. Downsides? Not much storage, can be harder to host overnight guests.

Are you a small house kind of person?

I bought this guy last night:

I’ve been wanting a new wallet for quite some time (my five year old Vera Bradley is falling apart at the seams!), and since I’ve long been an admirer of Kate Spade’s pretty, pretty colors, I couldn’t resist this one when it went on super sale.

If you, too, are in the market for a wallet, I’d recommend checking out the Kate Spade sample sale — 75% off on select items until midnight tonight! No returns, though, so make sure you’re sure! See everything here.

Friends, even though I shared a few photos from our Valentine’s Day party, I completely forgot to tell you about the invitations! Since I was only making four, I could go all out with the handmade details, and I did! Here they are:

I printed the text in black and white on watercolor paper, then penned in hearts in black ink. I then watercolored over the hearts with pink and red, and backed the invites with deep red cardstock.

I had some pink and white baker’s twine lying around that made a perfect “belly band” of sorts.

The finishing touch was the watercolor envelope liners. I scanned the sheet of paper that I used to test the watercolor strokes while coloring the hearts, then printed a few pages and cut them to size. Voila!

In case you missed my post about the party, the photos are right here!
