Heart Day

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!  

A day for red hearts, chocolates, hugs, and kisses.  

I saw this pretty wreath on facebook this morning by "oh so shabby by Debbie Reynolds" and had to share it with you.  Isn't it lovely?  

So what will you be doing for Valentine's Day this year?  We don't do a whole lot....some yummy chocolate candy in one of those big red hearts and a nice dinner is about it, and of course a Valentine card for my sweets.    

I have a cherry pie in the oven right now and it will be dessert for tomorrow evening (if it makes it to tomorrow evening).  

Wishing you all a Happy Heart Day!  

Happy Valentine's Day!

"A hundred hearts would be too few

To carry all my love for you."

I must show you the cutest thing.......

This morning when I woke up and went to pour my coffee, there on the window sill was this sweet little handmade wooden valentine heart from Galen. A small token of his love.

Happy Valentine's Day to all of you!

Surprise

Take a look at what we woke up to this morning. Snow!

Isn't it pretty?

The forecast calls for lots of sunshine today, so it should be gone by tomorrow, maybe even today and that's fine with me since I'm not really a snow person.

Yesterday I took a photo of our valentine windsock hanging by our front door, and look at it today ~ piled high with snow. Looks like a big dollop of whipped cream.

Enjoy your weekend, everyone.

Happy Valentine's Day!!

Happy Valentine's Day!

I was inspired this morning after visiting Manuela's blog, the pleasures of homemaking, to do some Valentine's Day decorating myself.




The valentine windsock that was in the attic is now making it's debut at our front door.




This idea came from Manuela ~ a few vintage valentine cards displayed on a wire stand. Love it!




I even hung a red valentine heart at my art table.





Hope everyone has a great weekend, and........

Happy Valentine's Day!

a little valentine cupcake

Don't you just love cupcakes?

I picked these up at the supermarket yesterday on impulse. I have a weakness for cupcakes. The fact that they are mini cupcakes makes it just perfect because you can have that small amount of sweetness to satisfy the craving.

Happy day!

Valentine Treasures

Valentine treasures are people who

have often crossed your mind,

family, friends and others, too, who in your life have shined

the warmth of love or a spark of light

that makes you remember them;

no matter how long since you’ve actually met,

each one is a luminous gem

who gleams and glows in your memory,

bringing special pleasures,

and that’s why this Valentine comes to you:

You’re one of those sparkling treasures!

Hearts

With Valentine's Day right around the corner, these are some heart decorations that can be found in little corners of my house.

A silver filigree heart I found at the thrift shop...

A picture frame of hubby and me on the bulletin board...

A glass blown heart ornament from my sister...

A homemade heart from my granddaughter...

A glass heart ornament from my son-in-laws mother ...

and a heart that I painted, now on my etsy shop.

Happy day to you!

Valentine paintings

I decided to do some valentine paintings as I recuperate from this horrible cold that I have. These are small paintings, only 3-1/2 x 4-1/2 inches and are painted on wood.

Isn't it funny how when one holiday is over we immediately go to the next. When I was shopping last week I noticed the shelves already filled with all kinds of valentine stuff! I guess that kinda inspired me! These are going on my etsy shop.
