Valentine's Day cards

Valentine's Day cards are always so sweet and lovely. Last year at this time, I was unemployed so I made Valentines for people I love and sent them out via snail mail. I think it's quite a treat to get a nice card in your mailbox from a friend. I got the idea from Julia Child, who always sent out valentines to her friends. I like the idea of sending Valentine's Day cards in lieu of Christmas cards and I really like these made by Lisa Jones across the pond in London.

I also love her owl and peacock pillows, which she named Olaf and Pablo. The black and white is so chic and the pattern is so adorable!
