I hope everyone had a lovely Valentine's Day! I've never taken the v-day very seriously: it's fun & pretty but I never expect to receive anything, and don't always give anything.

However, I love love love working on Valentine's Day. Everyone is at their absolute sweetest, picking out the perfect treat, gift box, & ribbon color for their valentine. If you received a little something from Miette this year, I want you to know how carefully & seriously your gift was selected, with consultation from shopgirls & much deliberation. It's the most adorable thing to witness, really.

And it's not just lovey-dovey! Customers put together gifts for friends who were stuck at work all day, grandparents assembled bags of sweets for each of their grandchildren, little kids surreptitiously slipped me little handfuls of chocolates to wrap up for their parents (who were on hand to pay!). So much love I'm tearing up a little!

One of the highlights this year was definitely the custom cookie decorating. Jeff (I'm just going to keep calling him our cookie genius) was on hand Friday at the Ferry Building Patisserie, and Saturday at the Hayes Valley Confiserie. Customers bought a cookie from a shopgirl, then entered a deep discussion with Jeff regarding color scheme, motif, and message. The messages, in several languages, were soooo lovely! He had a little extra time at the end so he whipped up the "Be Mine" & "Je T'aime" cookies that you see here. Let's look a little closer, shall we?
