Simply going bananas over these Valentines from one of our favorite blogs.

I dedicate today's post to our small business clients that work so diligently at building their businesses. Silverbox has been blessed with a growing family of small business clientele. We've grown in leaps and bounds in this area over the past year and cannot thank you enough for passing on a good word.
While we work hard on making sure your brand stands out from the rest, make no mistake about it, the best form of advertising is the quality of your work and/or product. I came across this Milton Hershey quote and of course had to create a design and wrap it around a large Hershey bar. It's now sitting on a silver easel in the studio as a small reminder of what's important.
When looking a little deeper into some additional quotes from Hershey, I found there weren't too many. A previous Hershey employee mentioned, “Milton was not a philosopher, but a doer.” I'm not sure if it's from my upbringing, but those are words I live by. Yes, while we are in the business to make you look good on the outside, rest-assured it's the quality inside that matters even more.
So, here's a little chocolate Valentine treat for all those small businesses giving 110% every day. Go get yourself a large Hershey bar and wrap this printable label around it, so it can be placed where you can see it everyday to remind you where a good business starts.
Thank you once again for all that you are to Silverbox everyday.

We have the pleasure of designing for Millicent Harvey and are in awe of her fine art photography and captured stories. Above is a postcard that we've designed this week and is so worth the read. Here's to wishing we are all this in love at this tender age. Thank you Millicent for touching our hearts again and again.

Looking for a little oo-la-la? Take a look at these Paris note cards found at shopsilverbox.com. I also thought I'd pass along a few sites that I frequent from time to time Paris style. Glass of red wine and some daydreaming required.

It is with mixed emotions that I let everyone know that today is our dearest Michelle's last day at Silverbox. She is moving on to other endeavors, but will thankfully be available to us from time to time. I look at it as a beginning of a new way of living, and not a good bye, although I will surely miss her smiling face on a daily basis. She has been a fan favorite to many of our customers, as well as mine. After 3 1/2 years together in the same studio certain things happen over time and my employee turned into a friend. My wish is that she may never be afraid to dance with the stars and follow her dreams.
With much appreciation for a wonderful 3 1/2 years, Susan
May you live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Appreciate your friends. Continue to learn. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

/We just decorated the studio with a little love (while recycling our Christmas decor) and thought we'd share the warmth of the studio on this snow-filled winter day. Interested in spreading your own love? Visit www.shopsilverbox.com for our 2011 Valentine Collection.

Due to all our snow, I thought this was worth the re-post from last year.
This year I've included a free printable! Enjoy!
Oh what fun to assemble little gift bags of hot chocolate and deliver to everyone in the neighborhood. I simply placed them on their front door handle and enjoyed a peaceful walk down the street. It’s amazing how a blanket of snow quiets everything. I truthfully couldn’t ask for better neighbors. Wishing you a warm night with a cup of hot cocoa and good company.
