feeling the love

valentine's day is right around the corner.  but wait. don't get all "corporate holiday blah blah blah" on me!  valentine's day is GREAT because it's a day to show everyone, not just a boyfriend or girlfriend, how much you love and appreciate them.  call me overly cheery, but i love this holiday...and not just because of all the confectionery treats (what can i say, i'm a sucker for a good conversation heart).  despite the moving madness, we have secured a very formidable valentine's day card collection that you really must stop in to snatch up.  while we have the always direct "i love you" and sweet heart cards, we've also picked up the less lovey-dovey cat with antlers and red roaring monster cards from our new friends at yellow owl workshop.  i mean, just because you love someone doesn't mean you have to be a sap about it.  

IN OTHER NEWS:  one thing we ARE totally sappy about is our four-legged friends.  we just cannot keep a straight face around a good (or bad) pup.  especially one who needs a home.  we got word the other day from a dear friend about some black lab/mix puppies that were found in a box (!!) in the middle of the road (what is wrong with people?!).  our hearts are breaking for these sweeties, and we're desperately trying to find them happy, loving homes.  so...if you need a valentine this year, and want a four-legged friend in your life, let us know and we'll put you in touch with the pups' foster dad.
