The last week of January! How fast time flies. Valentine’s day is just around the corner, and most people know that I’m a big fan of romantic novels especially those written by Jane Austen. If you haven’t figured out yet, the name “Love Ardently” actually was inspired by a quote in Pride and Prejudice said by Mr. Darcy to Elizabeth, “You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you“.

So, when I found Brookish on Etsy, I was almost jumping off my chair, literally. I think these are the most perfect Valentine’s gift for a romantic who loves Jane Austen’s quotes (such as moi :)). How can one not love these?

And these are my favorites. :)

I’ve been a big fan of Ouma, an etsy shop selling feminine, poofy dresses with vintage look. I love how they combine the casual striped tees with the dressy feminine tulle. Not to mention, a pair of shiny stilettos. It’s casual meeting classic and romantic! Love, love, love the photo styling and of course the dresses!

These tiny paintings by Cool Ranch Studio on Etsy would make such a great Christmas gift. It would look great on someone’s desk. Don’t you think?

Behold! The very first item for our Etsy store! FREE shipping within the US! It comes with Stardream Metallic envelope in Silver and packaged in a cotton muslin drawstring bag.

It’s been a long time coming and we finally have our Etsy store up. It’s not a grand opening yet since we don’t have much in the store at the moment, but it’s coming and we’re almost there! :) So, so excited!

I’ve been enjoying those video submissions over at Etsy.tv for the past couple of days. For those of you who don’t know, Etsy is holding a video contest with the theme: “Handmade Moment”. If you are a videographer, home video maker, and an Etsy fan, you should check this out.

This is my favorite video submission so far created by two brilliant illustrators, Andy Musser and Kit Seaton. I just love everything from the style, the storyline, the soundtrack…. It makes me want to draw and make something now. :)
