love is in the air

If you can get past the ticky-tacky plastic, Valentine's Day is by far the prettiest of all the holidays and a much-needed pick-me-up in a very long winter. A holiday filled with pinks and reds, hearts and flowers, sweet chocolate and sweeter words. L-O-V-E.

I'm especially loving Rifle Paper Co.'s  take on Valentine's Day.

 Rifle Paper Co. is all about whimsical, folk-art inspired cards, prints and stationery - perfect for Valentine's Day... your wedding day... or a random Tuesday.  I wish I was flush enough to order one of these custom portraits for each of my favourite couples!

And you just had to know that behind these whimsical, romantic illustrations was a real-life love story, right?  Meet Anna Bond, Rifle's illustrator and designer, and her husband Nathan who runs the business end of things.
