Hi Elizabeth,

Thanks for your interest in the Valentine cards. My printer had a delay in a card stock order. They expect the card stock to arrive this afternoon, and I will put them up in the store over the weekend. At least that’s what I’m hoping. I hope to be able to start shipping them next week. I will e-mail when I have them up, and I will also put a blog post up announcing they are ready to ship. Thanks for your patience. So glad you are interested in the cards!

I was hoping to see these beautiful cards in your store as a set. I think you were looking into that when you posted the blog. Were you able to get them printed? They will make lovely letters for a few of my friends who sometimes need a little cheering and a reminder that they are loved, even if it is from afar.

Hi Virginia and welcome! Thank you for this lovely comment–it was such a pleasure this morning to open up my e-mail and find it waiting for me! I really enjoyed reading about your tradition of having your girls share a pomegranate on Christmas. What a beautiful tradition and way to remember their father as the years go by. I am also so happy to read of your own progress on a plant-based diet–that is just wonderful!! We have the same heroes! (I really enjoy Chef AJ too) I am glad you found my blog–it’s great to have you along!

Hi Maria, thank you for sharing your beautiful artwork with us! My absolute favorite is the pomegranate, full of love for you. I also love ‘yours for the picking’. Of course I love them all, but those two especially. I would love to see you offer an assortment of Valentines Day cards.
If I may share a pomegranate memory, when my husband was alive (he’s been gone since 2001), he used to always buy a pomegranate for our two daughters to share on Christmas. It became a sort of tradition. So now, I always try to make sure I get a pomegranate at the holiday. My girls are 36 and 27 years old now and I believe in keeping traditions alive and also the memory of their father, of course.
I have become plant based myself over the past year or so. I have lost a lot of weight and have become the healthiest I have probably ever been. My doctor took me off all my meds (blood pressure and cholesterol meds). I am 65 years old! Drs. Fuhrman, MacDougall, Campbell, and Esselstyn are also heroes of mine. Also Chef A.J. In my vegan journey, I discovered Susan’s blog and therefore yours and I am so very glad I did. Thank you for sharing all of your insights, you are a wonderful writer and truly an inspiration.

Thanks so much, Veronica–I know you can relate to the seesaw of emotions. I feel so grateful I can describe it from where I am now. And I so appreciate your feedback (very helpful) and enthusiasm for the cards! I feel very blessed to be seeing my creations blossom and expand and meet other eyes–I like the way you put that. 🙂 xoxo

Thank you, Maria, for sharing this story with us. The see-saw of emotions on Valentine’s Day – I’m so glad there was a positive (and more as time goes on!) to help swing things upward. Congratulations on working through and never giving up on getting better. There is always hope. And your strength is amazing. It’s so exciting about the poetry and pictures! To see your creations blossom and expand and meet other eyes is a gift many don’t get to experience.
The V-day cards are a great idea!! I love the two pictures you’ve chosen – pomegranate heart and Romeo, and I also like the pomegranate love one. In fact, I love all of them, but if you’re limited in quantity, then those are the three I think would make the best V-day greetings. Although the last two have stunning colors. So I don’t know! It’s a tough call. But I think whatever you choose will be a hit. I would definitely order a set.
Best of luck! With the co-op, card sales, and beyond. 🙂 xoxo
