LOVELY PIECES
{please visit lovely pieces here}
You know how when you fall in love the world looks somehow brighter? The sky is a deeper blue, the flowers shine and even the clouds sing of spun cotton as they cushion rainbows. Ashley Austin obviously knows that feeling. Austin is the mastermind behind Fine Day Press, a line of luxe paper goods and gifts sold via her Etsy store, Lovely Pieces. Her products shine through with a deep love of color and there is a reverence in the simplicity of the LOVE Valentine’s Day card that can’t be forced. I look at this card and finally understand what all of the Valentine’s hoopla is about. Austin, a graphic designer by trade, opened her store in the summer of 2009 and channels all of her creative energy into creating eco-friendly pieces, whether in the yoga-inspired clothing and art or the (absolutely amazing!) collage pieces such as Lotus Flower. Fine Day Press will debut a line of letterpress greeting cards and wedding stationary this spring. I’m not even getting married and I’m anxious for the unveiling! You can also keep up with Austin’s inspirations and designs at her blog, Lovely Pieces.

Love is something that happens when you know about someone, even the bad stuff, but you think its okay. Lust and Like at first sight but love, I don’t think so.
i wouldn’t be here without it! my grandfather fell in love with my grandmother at first sight, and i sure am glad!
I believe in love at first sight and am waiting for it to happen.
absolutely!!!
I didn’t until I fell in love! Actually, my wife fell in love with ME at first sight. I was playing hard to get a little, but I did know at that first look that this was going to be something different and something good. Three years later, we’re married and every time we look at each other, we fall in love all over again. It’s like every look is the first look.
Yes, I think it certainly happens :)
There’s infatuation at first sight, but not love at first sight…many people confuse these two emotions. True love only comes with time, after you really get to know someone “warts and all,” and they’re still the only person you want to come home to every night and wake up to every morning. I’ve been with my boyfriend for 13 years, and I thought I fell in love with him at first sight, but what I feel for him now is so different and so much stronger, it doesn’t even compare.
