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!!

I just found out yesterday from Pam. My heart, thoughts, and prayers are with you beautiful lady! I am praying that our Lord "the Great Physican" will be there guiding the doctors hands every step of the way. He will be right by your side. If you need ANYTHING, please let me know. Can we help your family with some meals while you're recovering?
Let me know.

I know God will be holding you in His strong arms during your surgery and for that I am thankful.
I love all of your sweet hints to your hubby. I also love the book he gave you.
God bless you.
Oh Sandi I will keep you in my prayers. You are going to one of the best hospitals in the country. Come back to us even better then before .....is that possible? you're pretty good already!

ps....love the little love book you just bought!
Your post is beautiful today...and I love the little tussy-mussies.
I will be saying a prayer for you. I work in a hospital that speciailizes in heart surgeries. You are in a good place in Boston and I know how scary it is to face something like this. Bless you..Diana
I'll be thinking of you next week-lots of prayers for you. I really enjoyed your lovely vignettes!
...all very sweet and romantic!
I love your subtle look. It's all you need. Couldn't help but notice that I have several of the things that you shared so I love it even more. Like the way you have the silver heart attached to the empty iron vintage frame.
I pray that you will sail through the surgery and have a speedy recover.
Rhonda

Sandi - best of luck in Boston - you're right, we are very lucky to live in this area. Not sure if I've left a comment before, but I frequently drop in to read and have been to the shop (love your space!). I live in NH and have space at White Home where I bumped into Mary Ellen last year and also saw her in Brimfield. Take care and hope all goes well.
