I’m getting so excited for Valentine’s this year, because not only will I get to celebrate with my mister and my little lady, but I’ll have a new man in my life! My little boy is due and to welcome him with as much love as possible I’ve been scouring the interwebs for as many V-day decorations, cards, and ways to say “I love you!” as I can find. I’m thinking these delicate garlands from 3 Girls and a Goat would be just enough to decorate with but not overwhelm the new little guy. And perhaps I’ll pick up a card for my main squeeze while I’m at it.

You may remember E.Kate Designs from Erin’s to-die-for studio space featured here on the blog last year. But I know you didn’t forget about the beautiful pieces that she creates there. I’ve been getting lost in the sunny shots of Erin’s globally inspired jewelry lately. I can’t seem to choose just one favorite, between the bitty brass bullet necklace or the sapphire and ginkgo gold earrings, among other enticing picks. Which would you choose?
