Had a perfect and non-cheesy Valentine’s day brunch at Friend of a Farmer. He said: It’s like a Cracker Barrel in New York! I say: Not nearly as trashy or uncomfortable as a Cracker Barrel, and with much better food.

Must try: Apple butter, mimosas, homemade granola. Also: best crispiest, savoriest, most mouth-wateriest bacon in Gramercy.

How do you repay for bacon that good? I turned to the chocolate coconut cupcake–with their mythical healing powers–to spell out my gratitude.  Inspired by this garland from Style Me Pretty (and under the impression that boys aren’t really garland-friendly), I made this cupcake banner:

Girls are NORPICONS1, test is Gartentika–both from DaFont. The message? For the cupcake recipient, not for the blog.

Then we took the 4 down to BK yesterday to vintage shop. Romantic? Sure, why not. Thrify? Yup, yup.

Plus, what’s not to love about old photos of Bing Crosby?

Bought: Stretchy bracelet from Roka Jewelry at the Pop Up Winter Market.

Love: my Valentine with removable anti-V-day pin:

JUST SAY NO…to cheap chocolate, singing stuffed animals (overpriced, dinners, sappy rom-coms) and fat guys with wings. JUST SAY YES to martinis mimosas, shopping (at craft fairs) and doing what you love. Happy Valentine’s Day.
