Valentine’s Day is this Sunday. You have four days to make some plans, or at least do “something” about it. Why not consider supporting some of our local businesses this weekend? Winter can’t be an easy time for some of these smaller operations. Making a choice to spend your dollars locally could be making a big difference for the people behind these doors. Ladies, if you’re reading this….most husbands appreciate a well-played hint….or in my case, I just S-P-E-L-L it out. 😉 Help them out…help out your community…spread some “Local Love” for Valentine’s Day!

Love Signs by Fabulous Attic

Johanna, from Fabulous Attic in Lahave, is an artist who refurbishes furniture, creates individual pieces, makes photo cards, and art. I’ve been following her Facebook page for a while now and am smitten with so many of her custom, colorful pieces.

For a longer lasting Valentine’s token….how about one of Fabulous Attic’s “love” signs?

You can contact Fabulous Attic through their Facebook page to inquire about hours/pick-up, etc.

Couples Workout at 902 Athletics

I’m really behind the idea of giving experiences as gifts…and I just LOVE this idea of a Partner’s Workout! Word of caution to the men…I would be very careful about how you suggest to the lady in your life that she might want to start…cough, cough...working out. BUT…if you present it as a “Couple’s Workout”…I bet she would find that sweet and totally unique. Spending time together…getting sweaty…feeling good about yourself…this has win/win all over it. 😉
