Item: Valentine’s Day Cookies
Seller: WackyCookies

I used to love my family’s tradition of cooking Valentine’s Day cookies and then “doorbell ditching” our friends and neighbors… leaving the cookies behind on the porch, of course.

I think this year I should do some baking and ditching!

…Or maybe just order these lovely cookies from Etsy seller WackyCookies.

Item: Strawberry Sweet Valentine Lollipops
Seller: VintageConfections

Since my partner doesn’t like chocolate (don’t worry, I eat his share), I am always on the look-out for Valentine’s treats sans the brown stuff.

I stopped by VintageConfections today, and found some great non-chocolate treats for Valentine’s Day!

Check some of the goodies out below:

Loving this shop? Check out my March 2011 feature of this shop for more great confections.

YUM!

Item: Valentine’s Day Damask Printables
Seller: GreenBeansieInk

I am loving these Valentine’s Day printables from Etsy seller Wendy Oliver! I first heard about Wendy’s shop via my Etsy Item of the Day shop submission page, and fell in love.  She has some fabulous Valentine’s Day designs listed!

“I have always been interested in design – ever since I can remember!” Wendy told me. “I followed my design interest to college and graduated with a Bachelors in Interior Design.”

“I worked in the retail design field for awhile then eventually put away my architectural scale to pursue other areas of study – and eventually to be a mom…the most important job yet!” she continued.  ”We have a little one and another on the way. As a stay at home mom I have spent the past few years working on various graphics projects for friends, the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America, and my church.”

“And, following a recent move half way across the country to Colorado,” Wendy told me. “I suddenly had a lot of spare time on my hands as my daughter had more time commitments and I had fewer. I decided it was a great time to open an Etsy store. I still love to view quality interior design and many of my creations are inspired by interior spaces…or my favorite magazine: Coastal Living.”

When she’s not working on great designs for her Etsy.com shop, Wendy told me she likes to read, garden, hike and take care of her two little girls.

I always ask Etsy sellers where they like to shop when they are browsing Etsy.com.  Wendy tole me about a shop called AndersRuff.

“I am always so inspired by their success,” she said.  ”They have had much success in the children’s party graphic area. I have focused my shop more on baby showers – many with nautical themes so as to not be in direct competition with Anders Ruff.”

Wendy’s advice to other Etsy sellers is great:
