Be mine, Valentine: red hot hearts.

Well, darlings, you didn’t expect us to eschew the obligatory V Day love note to you, did you? In honor of our favorite thing, Love, we present a few lovelies for your viewing pleasure, available on–where else?–Etsy.

Jeannine Peregrine (username JPeregrine) of Boodzoo’s Studio has embraced the love this V Day season with ACEOS that are not only beautiful, red, and romantic, they raise money to buy phone cards for American servicemen and women stationed all over the globe, so they can connect with their loved ones while they are far away from home until 28th February. Below are ACEOs entitled “Dearest”, and “Victorian Valentine”, which help loved ones connect!

These bright, bold, Valentine red fancy dress purses by The Tailor’s Chest are too divine to be believed. The detail and skill are clear, and it’s no wonder: the seller has years of Bridal and Occasional Evening wear experience. Below are “Really Red Satin Evening Bag” with red on white embroidered detailing that we simply adore (it screams, “let’s go out for drinks!”), and the “Very Valentine evening bag” with stunning beaded handles and a sweet heart charm on the bottom–it’s a little saucy but still ladylike!

And finally, the “Interracial Love ” note card–which confused us with it’s awesomeness at first, as we couldn’t guess what races the couple were (they looked the same to us)–by Kathy’s Krafts. We love not only it’s comic graphic appearance, but also the use of color and the detailed background of romantic words is well done indeed. It’s also kinda sexy, like when Tom and Lynette kiss on Desperate Housewives–PG, but passionate nevertheless. We love to see people embracing (each other, and) love!

Happy Valentine’s day everyone! Let the beer flow like wine, and beautiful women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano!
