I've always loved 1970s nature photo cards with inspirational quotes. I designed these with my own photos and paired them with quotes from my old books, one of which is a journal notebook from twenty years ago. They're printed on premium glossy photo paper hand mounted to acid-free cardstock made in the USA and come with envelopes. DM if you're a softie for 70s cards like me and want to buy a set. 😊 #cards #inspirationalquotes #handmade #mainemade #madeintheusa#madewithlove
I made my sweet Valentine a humble cake with beautiful, rich ingredients! I colored the batter with organic beet juice, made whipped frosting with cream from the local dairy, filled the middle layer with cherries and cream then topped with more cream, hand grated ruby chocolate and completed it with glistening red gems of candied wild Italian cherries. ❤🍒❤🍒❤🍒 @fabbriusa @chocolove @smilinghill #happyvalentinesday #cake #glutenfree #amarena #cherries #red #madewithlove #homemade
Stella loving pets for the first time in her 6 year life. We adopted her when she was four and had never been handled. She eventually would eat from my hand but always ran away if I tried to pet her until recently. ❤ #degu #pets
