vintage valentines...

No I am not talking about Jim and I, although we have been each other's Valentine since we were 15!

Debra is having a Vintage Valentine Party over at Common Ground and I thought I would share a few of the vintage Valentine cards that Mary Ellen has for sale at the shop...






Pretty sweet don't you agree?!

I am going to treat myself to a few bunches of fresh flowers tomorrow when I go to the market and will mix them in with the few treasures I use for Valentine's Day decorating...


Maybe I will get a bunch or two of white tulips...


Last year I was lucky enough to win this pretty banner in a giveaway from Jeanine...


Thanks Jeanine, I love it!


I am really embracing a simpler look around my home this year.
Less is more!

Thank you Debra for hosting and thank you all for visiting!
Enjoy your weekend!!

messages of love...

Debra is having a Vintage Valentine Party today!  I have a few vignettes to share with you.  First in my den where the sun was happily shining in, I put one of the heart boxes I decoupaged...

Then there is my sweet vintage book I love to use hoping to give Jim a hint...

I have it in my den where he can see it when he sits at the computer!

My displays are very subtle this year...
 Just the way I like it...

I love the sweet faded roses on this old book!

Old sheet music is always a perfect, romantic touch... 

I added a bit of pink to soften it all...

I love the Valentine tussie...I have two and got them off Etsy years ago...
Last Valentine's Day Jim and I went antiquing and he found this book for me...
I will always treasure it!!

There is another dove on my mantle too...
It is the perfect size to hold a little something special...
Hmmm...do you think he will get that hint?

Actually Jim has already given me the best gift ~ his strong hand to hold, his broad shoulder to lean on and his heart full of love.  My little nest has been shaken up a bit lately.  I have to have surgery next week.  Open heart surgery.  A small mass called a left atrial myxoma (or benign tumor) has been found and needs to be removed.  So, next week I am heading into Boston to have it taken care of.  I am lucky I live near a place that has some of the best hospitals and doctors in the world.  I am also lucky the word benign was used.  And I am very lucky to have the love and support of my family and friends.  You have all been so wonderful and I thank you so much!  I also know I could count on all of my blog friends for good thoughts and prayers!

Needless to say I will be taking a little blog break.  However, before I go I will be back on Monday to share what I have so far in my den makeover which will be on hold for a bit.  I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and thank you for listening!!
