Wouldn't It Be Loverly?! Etsy Love Stories for Valentine's Day

All I want is a room somewhere,
Far away from the cold night air.
With one enormous chair,
Oh, wouldn't it be loverly?

Lots of chocolate for me to eat,
Lots of coal makin' lots of heat.
Warm face, warm hands, warm feet,
Oh, wouldn't it be loverly?
Be cozy and elegant, humble and refined...all of these charmingly unique traits are depicted in this beautiful My Fair Lady influenced treasury created by my dear sister Andrea from Storybook Artifact titled "Wouldn't It Be Loverly". Andrea also has this exquisite treasury featured on her Storybook Artifact blog.
The beautiful wooden LOVE home decor letters featured above are created by ChunkyMonkeyLuv.

February is the month to express love and Etsy has created a thread just in time for Valentine's Day where we can do just that! The Etsy blog team is all ears to hear your Etsy love story here in the forum thread titled: "Wanted: Your Heartwarming Etsy Love Story". It reads:

"Perhaps you made a friend or reconnected with an old high school buddy on Etsy. How about that time you bonded with your daughter by starting an Etsy shop together or that moment a seller or buyer changed your life? We want all the mushiest stuff you have to offer, the stories that will leave 'em reaching for the Kleenex box while saying, "Awwwww." Remember, Valentine's Day is about celebrating all sorts of love, whether it's your significant other, a family member, or a friend."

Here is my Etsy love story that is inspired by nature and Etsy!

I met my dear friend Sara (from the Blue Bunny Boutique) on Etsy. She contacted me about trading for some of my therapeutic herbal remedies as an alternative to other medications that were reeking havoc on her body. Sara was diagnosed with Sciatica and was experiencing pain, as well as a loss of motion and energy. I wanted to help her as much as I could and she offered some wonderful craft supplies and other beautiful embellishments for trading...she even hand-crocheted an adorable beanie hat for my baby nephew Bobby. So I began trading my exotic kratom herb powders with her and soon afterward, Sara sent me a convo saying that the healing herbs were helping with her pain management, as well as increasing her mobility and energy. Sara said that she was amazed by how much better her daily life was and that her little son Benjamin and little girl Joy loved that she had more energy than them!

I was so happy to have helped Sara and her story has touched my heart; we have become close friends sharing our stories and making fun trades. In case anyone is interested, here is a link to all of the exotic kratom leaf powders I offer in my Eco-Friendly Freckles shop:
