78 | Send your Love

February 5, 2015 Ashling Loh-Doyle

I'm 4 days into my first week working on LOTUS&ASH full-time. There are lots of decisions to make, designs to create, and paper to send, and I've been spending my days between Coffee Bar SF and Saint Frank, and running around Crissy Field starting to make sense of it all. As I think about how to scale L&A from what it is today to what it can be tomorrow, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to create a Valentine's Day collection - a set of cards to celebrate love on Feb. 14 or any day you feel like making someone swoon. And, for the first time ever, all these cards are available for purchase on the new LOTUS&ASH shop on Etsy!

Valentine's Day is one of my favorite holidays to send love with paper.

Valentine's Day is my favorite card-giving holiday as noted here, here, here and here. In honor of San Francisco, the city whose streets are notoriously more romantic than its single twenty-somethings, I'm starting off this year with a collection of cards that's suited for those in love, those in hate, and those searching online for their perfect match: 2013-v-day-grouper

I knew there had to be something different about me when I spent an entire weekend hand-making valentines in 2nd grade, rather than buying the boxed set at the market. Don't get me wrong, I love mini M&Ms and My Little Ponies as much as the next, but I somehow got greater pleasure out of cutting and folding red pieces of paper for everyone in my class.

The tradition continues today with the 2010 Collection of Valentines.... hand-designed and handmade for those L&A cares about most.
