Valentine's Day Recipe: Raspberry Ice Cream Sandwiches
Hello Sweetcakes! Well, it's almost Valentine's Day and I've a scrumptious little recipe to share with you all. It all starts with my mother's basic vanilla cookie dough recipe, and ends with the world's most delicious sandwiches... ice cream sandwiches, that is! I have to admit, ice cream is my guilty pleasure, so I'm worried what will happen to the other four portions after Valentine's Day... I made mine with soy ice-cream and olive oil spread, so you can make it a dairy-free indulgence too, if you like.

Peachy Prints: Happiness at Volume 25
Golly gee, these prints by Jessica over at Volume 25 sure make me happy. There's a sense of magic, cheekiness and whimsy, with a spoonful of sweet sentiment (as expressed beautifully in her Sailing the Storm print). Sweet and inspirational, pastel and pretty. What more need I say? The talented Jessica, who lists peanut butter, family and road trips among her favourite things, has an equally peachy and terrific blog too, so be sure to pop by and say hello.

Project Pretty House: Emerald + Ella
Don't you just love those happy little coincidences? Those curious kismet moments when the exact thing you've been looking for justs falls into your lap? Well, I had one of those moments today - lucky me! I was flicking through a much-loved magazine and spotted a cute feature on Emerald + Ella. The phrases 'pretty pieces' and 'cute kitchenware' immediately caught my eye! Moments later, the stylist and creator of Emerald + Ella (the lovely Jane, the very same person I was reading about!) emailed me with a submission idea. Imagine my delight! Here are just a few favourites. Enjoy!

Heart This: Measuring Tape Stamp
Ooh I just love a good craft idea, don't you? The ones that put a bunch of creative bees in one's bonnet? As if my hive aint busy enough! Hmm... well, I still couldn't help but post this neat measuring tape stamp from Nothing Elegant. This idea of stamping on to twill tape and fabric is a keeper and it's really got me thinking... Isn't it just nifty?

Etsy Love: Letters in Geography
I had a much better day today. Everything is peachy again; like this sweet letter writing set! It's like geek chic meets paper nut, with a little vintage ephemera for icing. I have to admit something here... I used to invent Geography projects for fun. And collect stamps. Yup. I made up extra homework assignments for myself. I was that nerdy. And it looks like I wasn't alone! Get your geeky fix at Cutie Pie Company. And seriously, who came up with that name? It's just perfect!

Heart This: Smitten Sticks
Perfectly suited for the silly in love, or those in love with the silly, Smitten Sticks are the love child of creative duo Edyta Szyszlo and Vana Chupp. This is what happens when a wedding photographer and a paper stylist get together... handmade paper expressions, mustaches and the like, mounted on sticks for easy hand-holding. Was there champagne involved? I don't know, but I love everything about this fun idea, perfect for photo booths and parties and, well, just about anything!
