Can you believe it's almost Valentine's Day? If you need some last-minute cards for your love (or just for your friends!), our love you/miss you/need you foil-stamped notecards are just the thing.

I wish I was in London for Present & Correct's 'Pop-in' shop - gosh I just love them. I have been pretty busy working on a fairly scary rebrand. The creative process can be so unpredictable at times.

Have a peachy weekend ya'll.
