Let Me Be Your Valentine!

Hello, Hello, Everyone!

I am so excited to share the cutest Valentine's Day product with you!  Kids are primarily the ones who enjoy Valentine's Day SO MUCH!  They have crushes on eachother or their teachers and are always dreaming about being someone's Valentine.  Some kids are just in it for the candy! 

Most adults are pretty passive about it.  I have heard others say it is just another opportunity for Hallmark to continue getting richer and others are just happy to have something to celebrate in February.  January to May is the longest stretch of the year without a paid holiday for most companies.   Here at Holiday Haberdashery, I will show you how each month has an opportunity to celebrate and keep your home festive.  

This month I would like to feature one of my favorite Valentine's Day products!  I absolutely LOVE Martha Stewart's 4-pc collection of Heart Cocottes.  They come in four colors per set and they are the cutest things ever.  They can be purchased here.  These little ceramic gems are great for creating mini lunch or dinner casseroles or breakfast quiches.  They can be used to make mini cakes for your child's classroom.  They also make cute candy dishes to scatter about the house.  

If you are more interested in decorating mini cakes for the classroom, Decony Disposable supplies came out with a 5" disposable paper heart pan that you can purchase here.  Children like decorating with frosting and customizing treats for their friends.  This pan would make for easy transport with Saran Wrap and tape if needed.  

I have not forgotten about you moms out there who love cooking for the whole family, there are beautiful Valentine's Day heart shaped casserole pans for you!  I love Martha Stewart's collection. Not only are they affordable, the pans are beautiful and hold up to the Mama life.  They can be used again and again for years to come and could very well be the one thing your kids recall when they are adults.  Every cool thing you do with them has the potential to become one of their fondest memories.  You can buy your new casserole crock here.

Don't be afraid to dive in and make homemade cards, cookies, lolipops and special treats to pass out on Valentine's Day.  We have become a society that buys everything on the quick and there is a lot of satisfaction in taking the time to make something special for people.  We always love to see eachother's ingenuity.  Get crafty and creative and make this Valentine's Day special for those around you.  


Kids will say anything.

*A little boy was seated in one of the chairs near our register bank and I asked where his parents were.  I guessed him to be about 8 years old.  Here is his response:

"My mom ran to the bathroom because her pantyhose snapped under her skirt and started falling down.  She stole a pair of yours from over there.  She will be back to pay for them in a minute." 

Happy Valentine's Day to all of you!
