Day 45. Made with love.

Love it or loathe it, it can't have escaped your attention that today is Valentine's Day. Yesterday Bea and I spent a happy few hours creating these choccie goodies for her friends at school. There are eight milk chocolate lollies, each one initialed for the intended recipient - seven of them girls and one boy; nice to see she's keeping her options open! We also made our first batch of chocolates and bagged these up with red bows too.

The Tibetan charms say 'made with love' and it's fair to say these were. I hope they're well received, especially this dark chocolate 'K' which has a little more love in it than the rest of them.

Day 36. Too many emails.

I don't know about you but I rarely receive junk mail any more now that email is the channel of choice for most companies. Not only is it cheaper to create and send but it's also easier to track responses. Thank heavens for Tiffany's Cupid themed Valentine's Day brochure; a luxurious reminder that sometimes customer experience is more important than open rates and click throughs.

The stars are out in the Tiffany blue night sky and although I won't be buying anything this month, it's a wonderfully tactile reminder of why I have in the past and may again in the future.
