Valentines Day is Near

Valentines Day is my MOST favorite holiday, Im abit partial being that its also my birthday.  When I was young, I always felt like the holiday was all mine, and everyone was celebrating the day just for me.  Now that Im older.....I still feel that way..lol. 

My mom alway had a Valentines Day party for me, with lots and lots of candy and a Heart Shaped Birthday Cake with pink icing.  She would go all out with the decorations, everything was red and pink.  From the chandelier center to the walls, she would hang crepe paper streamers, in pinks and red.  I loved when I came home from school and saw the room decorated so beautifully. 

I, too, passed that tradition on with my children.  I decorated exactly how my mom did, recreating the that feeling I had as a child.  My kids loved it, but secretly I really did it for me, I need to have my Heart Shaped Cake, or it just doesnt feel like its my Birthday.

Now my kiddies have no interest in Valentines Day parties, but I had to release that inner yearning for this special day.  My outlet...My Art.  I remember  when I was dating my husband, and still now, Im always looking for unique jewelry. A few years ago I found this awesome artist out of Brooklyn who designed rings out of car keys.  I know cool right?  I had to have one.  His favorite ride is his 68' Red Caddy.  You know with a 68' Caddy comes a unique key.  It came out awesome. The artist that made it asked if he could keep the mold so he could make others. 

So this Valentines Day Im venturing into mens jewelry.  It only made sense, cant find what your looking for....Make It.  Yet I just couldnt become inspired.  Well not this time.... LOVE inspired me.  I made about 12 different mens chains for this lovers day, and they sold pretty fast. They are simple.  Simplier the better.  But sometimes for me the simplier is harder to create.  Yet these came out quite fabulous, and they are priced right.  After all, if you cant buy what you really want, vacation for 2 to Aruba, why not get alittle something for under $40.00?   Let him know you were thinking of him in a unique way.
