Happy Belated Valentine's Day! How did you celebrate? The past week or so was a bit of a whirlwind. Last Sunday, I kicked off the Valentine's season by co-hosting a very special arts & crafts class for kids along with my wonderfully talented friend Heidi Drake, founder of Happy Lucky Kids.
Heidi and I teamed up to design a workshop at our local Arlington Mill Community Center, thanks to the generous support of Arlington County. Kids made Valentine's Day cards inspired by fabulous bloggers we love (thank you, Gabrielle @ Design Mom and Julia @ CutOuts Studio!), painted "dream cloud" mobiles, and more. The workshop was so much fun; kids' artwork never ceases to delight.

Next up was a very special event at The Nest Egg in Fairfax, VA on Thursday eve. The Nest Egg is a beautifully curated home furnishings and gifts store. If you're in the area and haven't been, it's worth a special trip. Here's a peek of what you'll find:

Owner Ann O'Shields and her team make everyone feel at home. The boutique also offers interior design services, helping clients with everything from fabric and wall color selection to full room designs and installation.
Ann and I worked together over a decade ago -- long before she opened The Nest Egg and I started designing textiles. I love life's unexpected twists and turns! It was such a pleasure to be at her store and a part of its February "local love" promotion. I also love that on the ottoman by our organic throws, I found this coffee table book ... a new one for my Amazon wish list. :-)
Happy February! Hope Cupid was good to you.
