Valentines

IF YOUR a steady customer of MY FRIENDS AND I you know that we don't do much Valentines Day but we do have some cute things in the shop right now, including the pretty Romantic Homes magazine with the wonderful Valentines cover. It would be pretty just sitting on your coffee table as a decoration.
The card below with our store pictures on it was made in Picnik. You can do all sorts of things free there, but if you join you get to use really cute creative templates like I did with these pictures.

Start a collection!

It's the New Year have some fun. Start a new collection or add to the ones you already have. Recipe boxes are really popular right now and we have some cute ones. All are tin except for the 2 wood ones on the right. We may even have more. I didn't check the whole store, but thought this would give you a good idea of what we have.
I have LOTS of collections and after seeing these all grouped I could almost start collecting them too. Oh boy I need some control! Click on the link below the pictures for a site about vintage cookies cutters. It kind of goes with recipe boxes don't you think? She does sell them, but there is some interesting history on the site.
