Blue Valentine - Folksy Finds

The lovely people over at Folksy asked there Facebook fans to curate an 18 piece collection based on the theme of 'Handmade Love'. I love Valentines day but really hate all the tacky and overly pink and fluffy things that tend to circulate this time of year. Instead I decided to focus on blue. I really enjoyed putting this list together so this may become a regular feature on le blog!

    Well done on winning the Folksy competition! Love the different take on Valentine's Day using blue to steer away from the more usual pinks/red and "overly fluffy" items usually promoted. Viv :)
