Besides the fact I'm a hopeless romantic, I think one reason I have long had a soft spot for Valentine's Day is that during my single years, which lasted until age 42, I avoided pity parties on Feb. 14 by doing something for others on that day each year. It was a great spirit booster during the (many!) times I didn't have a boyfriend and kept me from going crazy over what others were getting that I was not! So now I keep up the practice, often trying to surprise someone who wasn't expecting anything on Valentine's Day. This year, I decided to do a Valentine's Week of Giveaways here on the tea blog to celebrate! Today's treat is this sweet paperboard "envelope" of tea-themed notepaper, a tidy little 3 x 4 inches and perfect for throwing in your purse for notetaking on the run. (Or in a tearoom.)
I found these at Barnes and Noble the other day and bought several of them, one of them just for one of you! Here's the back of the magnetic-close "envelope," which is just as pretty as the front.
And here's how the notes look when they're opened. If you want it headed your way, just leave a comment between now and midnight letting me know you want to be entered in the giveaway! (The rest of the week I plan to write regular blog posts, and I'll have a picture of the day's giveaway at the end.)
I love the tea-themed note paper, especially the pretty paperboard envelope. It would be perfect to carry in a handbag. You are very sweet to celebrate Valentine's Day by blessing others.
ReplyDeleteSpreading Valentines Day is such a sweet idea! I'm going to think of something to send to my single friends.
ReplyDeleteYes, I want to be counted in your give-away!
What a fun week this will be! Valentine's Day can be celebrated in many ways - I like your method!

Angela, these are too cute! I am always on the lookout for tea- themed items, also, but while I search high and low (like tea parties?!) these items seem to leap out at you and say 'take me home!' lol...Susan T.

ReplyDeleteme, me, me, me...how fun, I LOVE the notepaper...I'm in for the drawing. I love you gals for putting some fun into life this winter.
ReplyDeleteI love anything tea themed too! I think being alone for so many years makes you appreciate more when you do have someone to celebrate with, not just the holidays but everyday. That is my experience. :) Crossing my fingers to be the lucky winner. :)

Your note paper find is adorable. I especially like the vintage calling card graphic on the back closure. The joy you obviously find in sharing with others is very inspiring, Angela!
