Sweet Things
I’ve always loved Valentine’s Day and not because of the sappy romantic stuff. I love the process of doing little things for other people, even if it’s as simple as making cupcakes or writing a sweet note. I’ve been gradually collecting festive baking supplies for months and since February’s only days away, I found it appropriate to bring them out and put them to good use.
Also, I’ve added several pink rings (just in time for Valentine’s Day) and necklaces to my Etsy shop!
Update: All necklaces and rings have sold out. I will be adding more pieces to my shop shortly. xx

You’ve also inspired me to do special things for people in my life, other than my boyfriend, this Valentine’s Day.
So thank you for that!

I love Valentines Day for the same reason.. Thinking of others and making them feel special is so rewarding to me.

Emily the rings are beautiful! Those cupcakes look so tasty and festive. I love Valentine’s Day as well. I remember looking forward to it every year because it meant my mom would get me a heart shaped box full of chocolate and my dad would get me flowers. I also loved V-Day in Elementary school - I loved all the fun valentines my classmates would pass on to me.
Happy Valentine’s Day! ox
Those cupcakes look amazing! Very fitting for your blog and the time of year. Valentine’s Day is such a fun holiday - I love to make things for people also, and it’s the perfect time to do that!! Thanks for sharing, as always.

I love Valentine’s day themed food : ) It’s always so cute. And in red! My favorite color!

Cute cupcakes, those hearts are adorable. Here we mostly only exchange cards at Valentine’s, but maybe I should bake something this year too. I do feel inspired now
These are the cutest freakin’ cupcakes I have ever seen! I can’t wait till Devon’s old enough to make paper heart Valentine’s Day cards:)
Love your cupcakes! I’ll have to pull out my supplies this weekend! I love Valentine’s Day baking too! I love the heart toppings you found!
I’ll need to check the cross-body bag! Can never have enough of those!

forwarding your etsy shop link to the boyfriend- crossing my fingers and hoping he get’s the hint. Have a great weekend, Emily!
That’s looking good!
Those are adorable! I love making (and decorating!) cupcakes, and it’s especially fun for special occassions like Valentine’s Day. I’ll definitely be making some cute cupcakes this Valentine’s Day, and I’ll use some of my many cute cupcake liners and sprinkles!
The food is my favorite part of valentine’s day!! Probably because I have such a sweet tooth!

ahha I get a kick out of how quickly your jewelry keeps selling on Etsy. I never even have a chance to see them (unless you post to the blog) since your Etsy shop straight cleans out in minute, apparently! Looks like you need to hire yourself some helpers so you can churn out the goods at a faster pace!
I love your photos….and can’t agree with you more about Valentines Day! Too many people are so bitter about the “fake” holiday, but I think it’s a great day to show ALL the people you love how much you care. Cuuute cupcakes!
Wow…I love baking for holidays toooooo! In fact, I just promised my supervisor in my grad school that I would bake my famous red velvet cake for V Day! I can’t wait!
These look so good! Almost too pretty to eat! (I said almost
Yes I agree your jewelry sells out too fast! You really are good at it…perhaps you should think about a career change…? :)~

I love your jewelery too, its so unique and gorgeous especially some of the piece, i’d love to own a couple! However whenever I get the chance to visit your Etsy shop, they’re all gone! ):
Oh, those cupcakes are too cute to eat, Emily! I believe my favorite thing about Valentine’s Day is all the baking that goes along with it!!
Those cupcakes are so pretty!
Yumm cupcakes! Actually, I really love Valentines day too because boyf or not, it’s a great day to spend it with people you love. I plan to spend mine with my friend and having a good ol’ dvd and popcorn night!
Those cupcakes look YUMMY!
Your baked goods look delicious and your jewelry is gorgeous!
Hope you have a great weekend Emily
I definitely share your excitement for baked good!
Today I made the toasted marshmallow milkshakes you wrote about! As a girl with an aversion to milkshakes ( I tend to try and chew them….weird…i know) I was very impressed! Another bonus? My whole apartment smelled lovely long after my mission was complete!
Ooh you’re giving me ideas for Valentine’s Day - cupcake party!
You’ve completely inspired me. Cupcakes it is!

Those cupcakes look amazing!!! You just reminded me Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. They remind of cupcakes from this homegrown cupcake store in my city. Take a look - lovely and yummy cakes! You’ll love it

This is my first Valentine’s Day I’ve been able to celebrate with someone so I’m quite excited.
If you get the chance, I’d be incredibly delighted if you’d enter my Valentine’s Day Lingerie Giveaway!
Confessions of Lingerie Addict
You can sell your cupcakes on etsy. Perfect idea, no?! I’d buy them all and have the most awesome/moderately pathetic Valentine’s day EVER.
MMM..I want friends to bring me lots of cute cupcakes!
