A free Valentines Day craft workshop and new Kate Spade accessories make our Grab Bag

Art That’s Full of Heart
Nothing says “I think you’re the cat’s meow” like a handmade Valentine’s Day card. Analog (716 Monroe St. NE; shopanalog.com), the vintage boutique in D.C.’s Brookland neighborhood, helps you show your affection via a free Valentine-making workshop Feb. 7, 6:30-8 p.m. Baltimore street artist Mary England guides wannabe love birds as they make missives from provided glitter, pipe cleaners and construction paper.

Shades of Spade
All dressed up but no accent pieces? Then hit the newly opened Kate Spade New York at Tysons Galleria (2001 International Drive, McLean, Va.; 703-749-7980) for a pop of color from the spring collection. Favorites include the Adelaide Clutch in Carroll Park fabric (shown, $268), houndstooth raffia flats ($278) and mod floral studs ($58).

For Football Parties, a Good Call
Whether you’re making chili or grabbing 10 dozen buckets of chicken wings to go, your Superbowl spread will be a winner if it’s set up on Cake Kitchen Papers’ touchdown runner ($30, Stylish Patina, 410 S. Maple Ave., Falls Church; 703-663-8428, stylishpatina.com). It’s also a nice backdrop for football-themed cupcakes.
