Love It or Leave It

January 28, 2011

There do not seem to be many people who just like Valentines Day, they either love it, or love to hate it. I guess I am one of the people who love it, having a Valentine or not doesn’t seem to make a difference. I enjoy trimming out little paper hearts and mailing snail mail cards. Here at the bead shop we also like making love inspiring jewelry.
