We are counting down the days here until the day of love! Truthfully I don’t think we do much in the polka dot world, but there will be cake, with sprinkles and bubbles and cheese. We take any chance to celebrate and when it’s a day that honours the red heart and all things love? Well we take any chance to celebrate!

It has been a big week on the Polka blogs with everyone back at work after Australia day, let’s catch up on the week that was!
