Jewelry is the quintessential gift for Valentine’s Day.   Most women love it; it is an easy thing to find, and you can generaly get something to fit any budget.  Earrings especially make a great gift, because you don’t have to worry about sizing or even styling as much as you do with necklaces and bracelets.

Design Glassware has a fine selection of crystal earrings, featuring Swarovski Elements.  I love Swarovski Elements!  They are so bright, shiny, and full of color, and the pieces always have a high quality look.

Design Glassware has their items handmade by Mont Bleu in Europe.

Their Stud earrings with crystals come in some beautiful colors, including birthstones, and they come in a number of shapes, including, round, square, and butterfly.  I personally love the vintage rose color, as well as the aquamarine, turquoise, vintage gold, and garnet.

They also have these in a couple of dangle earring designs, which I absolutely love.  And these are perfect for someone who wants something bigger than the simple stud earrings.

The other great thing about jewelry made with Swarovski Elements that is that it is very versatile and can be worn with anything from an evening gown to a Sunday dress, or a simple blouse and pair of jeans.

Strawberries are also a very versatile food.  They are a perfect addition to your breakfast, whether eaten alone, on top of cereal, mixed with granola or yogurt, or as an ingredent for muffins.  They are also a great topping for a number of salads, and of course, the possibilties for strawberry desserts are endless!

White Chocolate Marshmallow Popcorn Treats

Love is in the air this week!  I celebrated Valentine’s Day early with these fun, sweet, and cute  White Chocolate Marshmallow Popcorn Treats.  The recipe is adapted from Jolly Time’s recipe for Choco-Cherry Heart Bouquets.  The folks at Jolly Time were kind enough to send me the supplies needed for this recipe, including a box of their buttered popcorn, and I was really happy with how the treats turned out!

These would make a perfect homemade gift for the one you love, especially the kids!  It would also be a great treat for Valentine’s Day parties and a great recipe to make with the kids for a Valentine’s Day activity.  Hope you enjoy!

In the past, I’ve tried their Boneless Buffalo Wings, Mozzarella Sticks, and Spinach and Artichoke Dip.  All of these are fabulous, but this past weekend we decided to try something new for game day: Loaded Cheddar & Bacon Potato Skins. [Read more…]
